Privacy Policy

Zero Data Retention

BroDNS is strictly a lookup tool, not a data repository. When you enter a domain or IP address, our server processes that request in real-time and sends the result back to your browser. Once the transaction is complete, the data is gone.

• We do not log your IP address.
• We do not store your search history in a database.
• We do not sell your data to third parties.
• We never write your queries to disk.

How It Works

When you use BroDNS, we act as a proxy between you and public internet records. Here is the technical breakdown of what happens:

1. You submit a query (e.g., "google.com").
2. Our server asks public DNS resolvers and WHOIS servers for information.
3. We format that information beautifully and show it to you.
4. The memory used for that process is cleared immediately.

Third-Party Services

To provide comprehensive data, we query specific external APIs. These services receive the domain or IP you are looking up, but they do not receive your personal identity.

• ip-api.com: Used to fetch geolocation data (City, ISP, Coordinates) for IP addresses.
• Public DNS Resolvers: Used to fetch A, MX, and NS records.
• IANA / Verisign: Used to fetch WHOIS registration data.

Local Storage & Cookies

We do not use server-side tracking cookies. We use a single LocalStorage item on your own device called brodns-theme.

This is used solely to remember if you prefer Dark Mode or Light Mode. This preference never leaves your browser.
