Privacy Policy

This policy explains what information IP DNS Hub collects when you use its tools, how that information is used, and the choices you have. We do not sell or share personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.

Last updated: May 2026

1. Information We Collect

Query Logs

When you use any tool on IP DNS Hub, we log the following to an internal database:

  • The tool used (e.g., "DNS Report", "WHOIS Lookup")
  • The query you submitted (e.g., a domain name or IP address)
  • Your IP address at the time of the request
  • The UTC timestamp of the request

These logs are used solely for debugging, abuse prevention and understanding which tools are most useful. They are not linked to any account, name or email address. Log entries are periodically purged.

Reverse Lookup Database

DNS lookups performed on this site cause the resolved A (IP address), NS (nameserver) and MX (mail server) records to be stored in our database. This data is strictly technical (domain names and IP addresses — never personal information) and is used to power the Reverse IP, Reverse NS, Reverse MX and IP History tools. It grows organically and is not sourced from external data providers.

Cookies

IP DNS Hub uses the following categories of cookies:

  • Session / authentication cookie: Not present for regular visitors.
  • Google Analytics cookie: Used to measure anonymous aggregate traffic (pages visited, session duration). See section 4 for details.
  • Google AdSense advertising cookies: IP DNS Hub displays advertisements served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners may set cookies to show you personalised or contextual ads based on your browsing activity. You can review or opt out of personalised advertising at any time via Google Ads Settings or by visiting aboutads.info.

We do not set advertising cookies ourselves. Third-party advertising cookies (Google AdSense) are governed by Google's own policies — see section 4.

Browser Information

Like all web servers, our server receives and logs standard HTTP request data including your browser's User-Agent string, the referring page (if any) and the requested URL. This is part of normal web server operation and is not used for profiling.

2. How We Use Information

  • Service delivery: Your query is used to perform the requested DNS, network or lookup operation and return results to you.
  • Abuse prevention: IP addresses in query logs allow us to identify and block abusive automated usage (e.g., scraping, DoS patterns).
  • Improving the tool: Aggregate, anonymised query patterns help us understand which checks are most useful and where results are incorrect.
  • Reverse lookup database: Domain/IP associations extracted from DNS queries are stored to power reverse lookup features (see section 1).

We do not use your data for advertising, profiling or any purpose other than those listed above.

3. Data Retention

Query logs are retained for a limited period and then purged. DNS record associations (A, NS, MX values) in the reverse lookup database are retained indefinitely as they are technical infrastructure data, not personal data. If you believe a specific IP address or domain entry should be removed, contact us (see section 7).

4. Third-Party Services

Several tools on IP DNS Hub fetch data from external APIs. Each of these services has its own privacy policy:

  • Google Analytics (analytics.google.com) — We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous traffic statistics. Data is processed by Google according to their Privacy Policy. Analytics data is aggregated and does not identify individual users.
  • Google AdSense (google.com/adsense) — We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. AdSense may use cookies, web beacons and similar technologies to serve personalised or contextual ads based on your visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies is governed by their Privacy Policy. You can opt out of personalised advertising via Google Ads Settings.
  • ip-api.com — Used by the IP Location Finder tool. When you look up an IP, a request is made to ip-api.com from our server. ip-api.com may log that request according to their own policy.
  • bgpview.io — Used by the ASN Lookup tool for BGP routing information.
  • macvendors.com — Used by the MAC Address Lookup tool for OUI vendor data.
  • jsDelivr CDN (cdn.jsdelivr.net) — Bootstrap CSS/JS is served from jsDelivr. Your browser connects to jsDelivr when loading any page. jsDelivr may log your IP for CDN purposes per their own policy.

In all cases, only the specific data needed for the tool to function is sent to these services (e.g., an IP address to ip-api.com — nothing else). No personal information is transmitted.

5. Data Security

All traffic between your browser and IP DNS Hub is encrypted via HTTPS (TLS). Query logs and the reverse lookup database are stored on a private server not accessible from the public internet. Access to the admin panel requires authentication. We take reasonable technical measures to protect stored data, but no system is completely immune to intrusion.

6. Your Rights

Because IP DNS Hub does not require account registration, there is no persistent user profile associated with your identity. If you are in the European Economic Area, you have rights under the GDPR including the right to access, rectify and erase data held about you. Given that the only data we hold that could be linked to you is your IP address in query logs (retained for a limited period), we can act on erasure requests for recent log entries.

To exercise your rights or ask a question, contact us as described below.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as the service evolves. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after a policy update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
