Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how LaneDNS collects, uses, and protects information when you use this website and its DNS tools.

1. Information we collect

We may collect limited technical information automatically, such as your IP address, user agent, referring URL, request timestamps, and basic device/browser details. This is used for security, abuse prevention, rate limiting, diagnostics, and site operation.

2. Cookies and similar technologies

We may use cookies or local storage for core site functionality, security, analytics, and advertising measurement. Cookies may also be placed by third-party providers such as Google.

3. Google AdSense

This website may display advertisements served by Google AdSense or related Google advertising services. Google and its partners may use cookies, identifiers, and similar technologies to personalize ads, measure ad performance, and prevent fraud.

You can learn more about how Google uses data from partner sites in Google’s advertising policies and privacy resources.

4. Google Analytics

This website may use Google Analytics to understand traffic and usage patterns. Google Analytics may collect data such as pages visited, approximate location, device information, and interaction events. We use this data to improve the service and understand which tools are useful.

5. DNS tool queries

When you enter a domain or host into a tool, that input is processed to perform the requested DNS lookup or health check. Query data may be temporarily logged for rate limiting, abuse prevention, reliability, and troubleshooting.

6. How we use information

We use collected information to operate the website, secure the service, improve performance, understand usage, serve ads, and comply with legal obligations.

7. Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited information with service providers that help us operate the website, such as Google for advertising and analytics, hosting infrastructure, and security tooling.

8. Retention

Technical logs and temporary tool data are retained only as long as reasonably necessary for operation, security, and debugging. Sensitive admin settings are stored locally in a protected file under storage/app.secrets.php.

9. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the site, including restricted admin access, CSRF protection, and a non-public configuration file for secret values. No system is perfectly secure, so please avoid entering unnecessary sensitive data into public tools.

10. Your choices

You can usually control cookies through your browser settings. Where required by law, we may display consent notices or additional controls for advertising and analytics.

11. Children’s privacy

This website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

12. Third-party links

Our website may include links to third-party sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The latest version will always be available on this page.

14. Contact

If you have questions about this policy, contact the site owner through the appropriate channel for LaneDNS or your hosting account contact path.
