Privacy Policy
Last Updated: November 2025
At NetKit, we take your privacy seriously. This policy explains how we handle your data when you use our network diagnostic tools.
Data We Collect
Minimal Data Collection
NetKit collects minimal data to provide our services:
- Your IP address (automatically detected for the "What Is My IP" tool)
- Domain names and IP addresses you enter into our tools
- Anonymous usage analytics (page views, tool usage)
What We Don't Collect
- We don't require registration or accounts
- We don't store your search history on our servers
- We don't collect personal information like names or email addresses
- We don't use tracking cookies for advertising
How We Use Data
- •Tool Functionality: IP addresses and domains you enter are processed to provide diagnostic results
- •Analytics: Anonymous usage data helps us understand which tools are most popular and improve our service
- •Performance: We may cache DNS and WHOIS results temporarily to improve response times
Local Storage
Some tools use your browser's local storage (IndexedDB) to save your search history. This data:
- Stays entirely in your browser - we never see it
- Can be cleared at any time using the "Clear History" button
- Is never transmitted to our servers
- Disappears if you clear your browser data
Third-Party Services
NetKit uses third-party APIs to provide certain functionality:
- •IP Geolocation: We use IP geolocation services to provide location data for IP addresses
- •DNS Queries: DNS lookups are performed via DNS-over-HTTPS providers
- •WHOIS Data: WHOIS information comes from public WHOIS databases
These services have their own privacy policies. We recommend reviewing them if you have concerns.
Data Security
We implement security measures to protect your data:
- All connections use HTTPS encryption
- We don't store sensitive data on our servers
- Server logs are retained for a limited time and contain no personal information
Your Rights
Since we collect minimal data and don't require accounts, there's little personal data to manage. However:
- You can clear your local browser history at any time
- You can use our tools without cookies enabled
- You can use a VPN or proxy if you prefer to hide your IP address
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date.
