Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 1, 2026

1. Overview

DomainsMesh ("we", "us", or "our") operates the website at domainsmesh.com. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have regarding your data. We are committed to being transparent and keeping your data minimal.

Short version: We collect very little data. Most of our tools work without any account, and your search history stays in your own browser.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information you provide

We do not require you to create an account to use DomainsMesh. We do not collect your name, email address, or personal details unless you voluntarily contact us through the contact form.

2.2 Automatically collected data

When you visit our website, standard web server logs may record:

  • Your IP address (anonymised after 24 hours)
  • Browser type and version
  • Pages visited and time spent
  • Referring URL
  • Device type and operating system

This data is used solely for security, performance monitoring, and aggregate analytics. It is not sold or shared with third parties for advertising.

2.3 Local browser storage

Our WHOIS and DNS tools store your recent search history in your browser's localStorage. This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to our servers. You can clear it at any time from within the tool or by clearing your browser data.

3. Cookies

DomainsMesh uses a minimal number of cookies:

  • Theme preference — stored in localStorage as dm-theme to remember your light/dark mode choice.
  • Analytics — if we use analytics software, it may set a first-party cookie to distinguish unique visits. No cross-site tracking is used.

We do not use advertising cookies, third-party tracking pixels, or retargeting cookies.

4. Affiliate Links

Some links on DomainsMesh (particularly on the Deals page) are affiliate or referral links. When you click these links and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission from the provider at no extra cost to you.

Affiliate links are routed through our own domain (/api/go/[partner]) so that the destination URL is not exposed in your browser before you click. The provider's website may set its own cookies when you land on their page — their privacy policies apply from that point forward.

5. Third-Party Services

DomainsMesh uses the following third-party services to operate:

  • Cloudflare DNS (1.1.1.1) — DNS queries are forwarded to Cloudflare's DNS-over-HTTPS resolver. Cloudflare's privacy policy applies to these requests.
  • Verisign RDAP / IANA RDAP — WHOIS lookups query public RDAP endpoints. No personal data is sent; only the domain name you look up.
  • NameStudio API — Domain name generation requests are forwarded to NameStudio. Only your keyword and selected TLDs are sent.

6. Data Retention

We do not store personal data beyond what is necessary for security and legal compliance. Server logs are retained for a maximum of 30 days. Contact form submissions are retained for up to 12 months to follow up on your query, then deleted.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate data
  • Request deletion of your data
  • Object to or restrict our processing of your data
  • Data portability

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@domainsmesh.com. We will respond within 30 days.

8. Children's Privacy

DomainsMesh is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us immediately.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of DomainsMesh after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.

10. Contact
