2. Information We Collect

Request Data

When a client sends a request to our API, we log details such as the requested domain or IP, the time and date of the request, and technical details (for example, your IP address and user agent). This information is used solely for service delivery, troubleshooting, and analytics.

Usage Data

We may collect aggregated usage statistics to analyze performance and improve our service. This data does not include any personally identifiable information.

3. How We Use Your Information

• Service Operation: The collected data helps us process your lookup requests and maintain the reliability and security of our API service.
• Analytics and Improvements: We use aggregated data for statistical analysis, which helps us improve functionality and optimize performance. This information is anonymized and never used to identify individual users.
• Security and Monitoring: Request logs (including IP addresses) are maintained for monitoring and ensuring the security of our service.

4. Data Storage and Security

All information collected is stored securely and is only accessible to authorized personnel. We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Request logs are typically kept for a limited period and then deleted or anonymized.

5. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal data to third parties. We may share aggregated, non-personally identifiable information with third parties for analytics or research purposes. If required by law or in response to legal processes, we may disclose information about API requests.
