Privacy notice
Useful measurement, minimal data.
Domain Readout is designed to work without advertising trackers, behavioural profiles or a stored history of the domains you search.
Domain lookups
The domain you enter is sent to the relevant public registry RDAP service so the requested record can be returned. Domain Readout does not store the domain in its analytics database or create a search history.
Aggregate analytics
The site counts daily page views, successful lookups, failed lookups, rate-limited requests and waitlist submissions. These totals contain an event name, page path, date and count. They do not contain the searched domain, a cookie identifier, a full IP address or a user profile.
Abuse prevention
Requests are temporarily grouped by a one-way hash derived from the connecting IP address and the current rate-limit window. The raw address is not stored. The identifier changes each window and expired counters are deleted automatically.
Domain-alert waitlist
If you join the waitlist, Domain Readout stores your email address, the optional domain you provide, your consent and the sign-up time. This information is used only to contact you about early access to domain-change alerts. It is not sold or added to unrelated marketing lists. Future messages will include a way to opt out.
Registry data
Lookup results come from third-party registries and registrars. Those services apply their own privacy practices and may redact personal information. Domain Readout displays the returned record but does not attempt to reconstruct redacted fields.
Future changes
Accounts and active monitoring are not yet available. This notice will be updated before those features introduce additional account, notification or historical data.
