Effective Date: October 2025

We respect your privacy. This policy explains how we handle your information when you use the Free DNS Project.

1. Information We Collect

We collect minimal information necessary to operate:

• Registration data: Name, email, domain name(s).

• Technical logs: IP addresses, request times, DNS query logs (for troubleshooting).

• Donation data: Only PayPal sends us donor email and amount — we do not store or process card details.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use collected data to:

• Create and manage DNS zones.

• Communicate service updates or issues.

• Maintain security and prevent abuse.

• Aggregate statistics (non-identifiable).

3. Data Retention

We retain user data only as long as necessary for service operation and compliance.
DNS logs are rotated regularly and may be anonymized after 30 days.

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal data.
We may share limited data only when required by law or to investigate abuse or security incidents.

5. Cookies

Our website may use minimal cookies for functionality and analytics. You can disable cookies in your browser.

6. Security

We use encryption (HTTPS) and standard server protections.
While we take precautions, no system is 100% secure, and users share data at their own risk.

7. Donations via PayPal

All donations are processed by PayPal.
We do not store your financial information. Please review PayPal’s own Privacy Policy for payment handling.
