Privacy Policy
Effective Date: December 14, 2025
At AllByNet.com (the "Site"), we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency in how we handle information. This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information when you use our website and services, including our domain and IP tools such as the WHOIS Domain Tool, Domain Generator Tool, Hostname & IP Lookup Tool, and Domain DNS Records Tool.
AllByNet.com is operated as a free online resource providing public domain and network information lookup services. We respect your privacy and do not require user registration or accounts.
1. Information We Collect
We collect minimal information to provide our services effectively:
-
Query Data: When you use our tools, you submit queries such as domain names, hostnames, or IP addresses. This data is processed in real-time to retrieve and display publicly available information from authoritative sources (e.g., domain registries, WHOIS databases, RDAP protocols, and DNS servers). We do not store these queries long-term or associate them with individual users.
-
Log Data: Like most websites, our servers automatically collect standard information for operational and security purposes, including:
- IP addresses
- Browser type and version
- Referring pages
- Date and time of visits
- Pages viewed
This data is used anonymously for site improvement, abuse prevention (e.g., rate limiting excessive queries), and security monitoring. We retain logs for a limited period (typically no longer than 30 days) and do not link them to personal identities.
-
Cookies and Similar Technologies: We use essential cookies to maintain site functionality (e.g., session management) and may use analytics tools (such as Google Analytics or similar) to understand site usage patterns anonymously. No tracking cookies for advertising purposes are used. You can manage cookie preferences via your browser settings.
We do not collect personal information such as names, email addresses, or contact details unless you voluntarily provide it (e.g., via a contact form, if available).
The information retrieved through our tools (e.g., WHOIS data, DNS records) is publicly available from third-party sources and may include personal data of domain registrants where not redacted by privacy protections or regulations like GDPR. We display this data as-is and are not responsible for its content.
2. How We Use Information
- To provide and improve our services: Processing queries to deliver accurate, real-time results.
- For site maintenance and security: Detecting and preventing abuse, fraud, or technical issues.
- For analytics: Aggregated, anonymous data helps us enhance user experience and site performance.
- Legal compliance: Responding to lawful requests or protecting our rights.
We do not sell, rent, or share your information with third parties for marketing purposes.
3. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not share personal data, as we collect none by default. However:
- Aggregated or anonymized data may be used for analytics.
- We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or to protect the Site's security.
- Third-party providers (e.g., hosting services, analytics tools) may process data on our behalf under strict confidentiality.
Our tools fetch data from public third-party sources; we do not control or endorse their privacy practices.
4. Data Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction of data. However, no online service is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
5. International Data Transfers
The Site is hosted in the United States. Data processed may be transferred internationally. We comply with applicable laws for cross-border transfers.
6. Your Rights (Including Under GDPR and CCPA)
If you are in the European Union (GDPR) or California (CCPA/CPRA), you may have rights regarding personal data:
- Access, correction, or deletion of your data.
- Object to or restrict processing.
- Data portability.
Since we collect minimal personal data, most requests may not apply. Contact us at [email protected] for inquiries. We respond within legal timeframes.
For public WHOIS data displayed, contact the relevant domain registrar or registry for redactions.
7. Children's Privacy
Our Site is not intended for children under 13 (or 16 in some jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect data from children.
8. Third-Party Links
The Site may contain links to external websites. We are not responsible for their privacy practices.
9. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this policy periodically. Changes will be posted here with an updated effective date. Continued use of the Site constitutes acceptance.
