Data We Collect

Global DNS Checker collects minimal data necessary to provide the DNS checking service:

• DNS Queries: Domain names and record types you look up are logged for statistics and service improvement. Query logs do not contain your IP address or personal information.
• Account Data: If you register an account, we store your name, email address, and a securely hashed password. Passwords are hashed using bcrypt and never stored in plain text.
• API Keys: API keys you generate are stored in your account. API usage (request counts and timestamps) is tracked for rate limiting.

Data We Do Not Collect

• We do not use cookies for tracking
• We do not use third-party analytics services
• We do not sell or share personal data with third parties
• We do not track your browsing behavior across other websites

Data Retention

DNS query logs are retained for statistical purposes. Rate limit data is automatically deleted via MongoDB TTL indexes. You can delete your account and all associated data at any time from your account settings.

Security

All connections to Global DNS Checker are encrypted using HTTPS/TLS. Authentication tokens are signed using industry-standard JWT. Administrative access requires explicit credentials with no default passwords.
