How DNS Panopticon handles DNS and analysis requests, market reference features, contact submissions, browser-side processing, short-lived operational logs, and local storage.
Zone File Uploads
When you use the Zone Analyzer, all file parsing is performed locally within your browser using JavaScript. Your DNS zone export files are never transmitted to our servers or any third party. They exist only in your browser's memory for the duration of your session.
DNS Queries
When you use our DNS lookup and reconnaissance features, your submitted domain input is sent to our servers so queries and related checks can run on your behalf. These lookups may rely on third-party DNS infrastructure.
To improve performance and reliability, results may be cached for a limited period using technical request context rather than personal profiles.
Verification Utilities
Some verification utilities may send selected host targets to server-side services for additional processing (for example page rendering or protocol validation).
Utility responses may be cached for performance and may be subject to operational limits and safety controls.
Market Index Data
The Market Index page combines delayed market reference data with DNS posture scoring for listed companies. Market data is sourced through third-party providers and may be stale, delayed, incomplete, or unavailable at any time.
We cache market snapshots and DNS-derived scoring outputs for performance and reliability. These records are tied to company symbols and domains, not to personal user profiles.
Logs and Rate Limiting
Our servers maintain short-lived request logs for operational purposes (error monitoring, rate limiting, and abuse prevention). These logs may include IP addresses and requested domain names. Logs are not retained beyond what is needed for these operational purposes and are not used to build profiles of individual users.
Rate limiting counters are tracked per IP address to ensure fair use of the service. These counters are ephemeral and do not persist beyond a rolling 24-hour window.
Contact Form Data
If you submit the contact form, we process the information you provide along with operational metadata needed to route requests, prevent abuse, and respond to support inquiries.
Cookies and Local Storage
DNS Panopticon does not use cookies. We use browser local storage for interface preferences and authenticated session state. This data is stored in your browser and is not used for cross-site tracking.
Third-Party Services
- Google Fonts — Typography is loaded from Google Fonts. Google may log font requests in accordance with their own privacy policy.
- Cloudflare — The site uses Cloudflare infrastructure for hosting, networking, security, and certain verification-related processing.
No advertising networks, analytics platforms, or tracking pixels are used on this site.
Children's Privacy
DNS Panopticon is not directed at children under the age of 13 and does not knowingly collect information from children.
Changes to This Policy
If this policy is updated, the revised version will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
