Privacy Policy (ToolData.net)

Last Updated: March 20, 2024

ToolData.net is a free service providing DNS lookup tools, network diagnostics, domain information and SSL certificate management. Our platform is trusted by network administrators, developers and IT professionals worldwide for reliable domain and network diagnostics.

ToolData.net ("ToolData", "we" and/or "our") has adopted this Privacy Policy which applies to and governs your access to the use of services available in the domain and sub-domains of ToolData.net, which includes all branded websites, software, platforms, and applications (collectively, the "Software"), and/or services (collectively referred to as the "Service"). This policy is designed to help you understand how we collect, use, and safeguard the information you provide to us.

Information We Collect and Use

ToolData uses information we collect to operate, maintain and provide you the features and functionality of the Service, to analyze how the Service is used, diagnose service or technical problems, maintain security, personalize content, aggregate and monitor relevant metrics, including but not limited to the total number of visitors, traffic, and demographic patterns. We are committed to protecting your privacy while providing you with the most useful and enjoyable experience when using our services.

Information You Provide

When utilizing our services, you may voluntarily provide certain information necessary for performing specific diagnostic and lookup operations. This information is used solely for the purpose of executing the requested service operations and improving our service quality. The information you may provide includes, but is not limited to:

  • Domain names for DNS queries and WHOIS lookups - This information is used to query DNS records and retrieve domain registration information from authoritative sources
  • IP addresses for network diagnostics - Used for performing network connectivity tests, route tracing, and latency measurements across our global network infrastructure
  • SSL Certificate Signing Requests (CSR) - Required for certificate management operations and validation processes
  • Email correspondence - When contacting our support team or requesting technical assistance

Automated Data Collection

To provide our services effectively and ensure optimal performance, our systems automatically collect certain technical information. This automated collection is essential for maintaining service quality, preventing abuse, and improving user experience. The data we automatically collect includes:

  • IP addresses and protocol information - Essential for processing your requests and preventing service abuse
  • Browser type, version, and capabilities - Used to optimize service delivery and ensure compatibility
  • Access timestamps and session data - For security monitoring and service improvement
  • Network performance metrics - To maintain service quality and troubleshoot connectivity issues
  • Query patterns and usage statistics - For service optimization and capacity planning

Technical Data Processing

DNS Services

Our DNS diagnostic services involve sophisticated processing of domain name system data across multiple providers and protocols. This processing is fundamental to providing accurate and comprehensive DNS information. When you use our DNS tools, we process various types of DNS-related data through secure channels. This includes comprehensive analysis of DNS propagation, record verification, and nameserver configuration validation.

The processing includes detailed examination of various DNS record types, propagation patterns, and response times across different DNS providers. This allows us to provide you with accurate and reliable information about your domain's DNS configuration and global accessibility.

Please note that DNS query results are provided for reference purposes only, as they may be affected by connectivity issues or DNS synchronization:

  • Results may vary due to DNS propagation delays
  • Network connectivity issues can impact response accuracy
  • DNS caching may affect real-time updates
  • Regional DNS server differences may cause inconsistencies
  • Temporary server issues can lead to incomplete results

If results appear inconsistent or outdated, it's recommended to:

  • Try performing multiple queries at different times
  • Wait 24-48 hours after DNS changes before re-checking
  • Verify against authoritative DNS servers
  • Clear local DNS cache if needed

Network Diagnostics

Our network diagnostic tools employ advanced network protocols and distributed testing methodologies to provide comprehensive network analysis. This involves processing network packets, analyzing routing information, and measuring network performance metrics across multiple geographic locations.

The diagnostic process includes detailed analysis of network paths, latency measurements, and packet loss statistics to provide you with accurate information about network connectivity and performance. This data is processed in real-time through our secure infrastructure to ensure accurate and timely results.

WHOIS Domain Services

Our WHOIS service provides comprehensive domain registration information and status checking capabilities. We process domain registration data through authorized channels while maintaining privacy and compliance with registration authorities.

Domain Life Cycle Management

We provide detailed domain lifecycle information to help users understand and manage their domains effectively.

Our system monitors and displays these lifecycle stages to help users:

  • Track domain registration status
  • Receive timely notifications about important dates
  • Understand available actions at each lifecycle stage
  • Plan domain management activities effectively

SSL Certificate Tools

Our SSL certificate management tools provide secure and reliable certificate signing request (CSR) generation and validation services. We implement industry-standard security practices and encryption algorithms to ensure the highest level of security for your SSL certificate management needs.

CSR Generation and Security

When generating Certificate Signing Requests (CSRs), our system employs:

  • SHA-256 encryption algorithm for enhanced security
  • Choice of 2048-bit or 4096-bit key lengths for maximum protection
  • Secure key generation processes
  • Validated CSR formatting and structure

All SSL-related operations are performed with strict security measures:

  • Local key generation for maximum security
  • No storage of private keys and CSRs
  • Secure transmission of CSR data
  • Private key only sent to the registered email

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our security infrastructure is regularly updated and maintained to ensure the highest level of data protection.

While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. However, we continuously monitor our systems and update our security measures to maintain the highest possible standards of data protection.
