Privacy Policy
Last updated: 8 October 2026
1. Who we are
ThreatDNS (threatdns.com) is operated by Admiresty Corporation, a Delaware corporation and the company behind DNSAFE ("we", "us"). Questions about this policy: privacy@dnsafe.net.
2. What we collect and why
- What you check. The domain, IP address or email address you enter, so we can look it up. Results are cached for up to 24 hours so repeat checks are fast and don’t overload our sources. Results are stored by the thing checked, not by who checked it. Email breach results are stored under a one-way hash of the address, never the address itself.
- Your IP address. Used to apply the free daily limit (a counter for your address, and for its network, that expires after 24 hours) and kept in our web server logs for up to 14 days for security and troubleshooting.
- Your recent checks. The last few domains and IP addresses you checked are listed under the search box. That list is kept only in your own browser (local storage), is never sent to us, never includes email addresses, and the Clear button removes it.
- Report links. Domain and IP reports have their own web address (for example threatdns.com/domain/example.com) so they can be shared. Email checks never appear in the address bar or in links.
- If you sign in with DNSAFE. Your browser keeps your DNSAFE session for this tab only (it’s removed when you close the tab or sign out). Our server sends the session to DNSAFE to confirm your account and plan, and keeps only a one-way fingerprint of it for up to 5 minutes, plus a daily counter tied to your account that expires after 24 hours. Your DNSAFE account itself is covered by the DNSAFE Privacy Policy.
- The AI analyst (Pro). When you use it, the lookup results and your questions are sent to our AI provider, Anthropic, to write the answer. We don’t keep the conversation after your page closes.
3. The sources we ask
To check something, we send it to these services. Each has its own privacy terms.
| Source | What it receives |
|---|---|
| VirusTotal | Domain or IP address (for emails, the domain part) |
| Google Safe Browsing | Domain |
| AbuseIPDB, IPinfo | IP address |
| Spamhaus | Domain or IP address, as a DNS lookup from our server |
| urlscan.io | Domain (we search existing public scans; we don’t submit new ones) |
| crt.sh, SSLMate Cert Spotter | Domain |
| Domain registries (RDAP / WHOIS) | Domain |
| XposedOrNot | Email address, to check known breaches |
| DNSAFE | Domain, to check whether DNSAFE blocks it |
4. What we don’t do
- No advertising, no selling or renting data, no data brokers.
- No analytics or tracking cookies, and no third-party scripts. Fonts and code are served from threatdns.com.
- No history of what you’ve checked tied to you or your account on our servers. (The recent-checks list lives only in your browser.)
5. How long we keep things
| What | How long |
|---|---|
| Cached results | Up to 24 hours (registry WHOIS answers aren’t stored) |
| Free-use counters | 24 hours |
| Sign-in fingerprint | 5 minutes |
| Web server logs | Up to 14 days |
6. Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR or CCPA) you can ask what we hold about you, ask us to delete it, or object to how we use it. Because we don’t keep a history tied to you, there’s usually very little to find. Email privacy@dnsafe.net and we’ll reply within 30 days.
7. International transfers
ThreatDNS runs in the United States. Some sources above are run from other countries. Where the law requires it, we rely on appropriate safeguards for these transfers.
8. Security
Everything is encrypted in transit (HTTPS). The server only accepts the connections it needs, and your DNSAFE session never leaves your browser except to confirm your plan with DNSAFE over an encrypted, private link.
9. Children
ThreatDNS isn’t aimed at children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect their information.
10. Changes
If we change this policy we’ll update the date above. Significant changes will be shown on the site before they take effect.
