Privacy Policy

In short

• There are no accounts; a name and email address are only requested in the whitelist request form.
• No cookies, ads, analytics or visitor tracking tools are used.
• The location of your IP address is looked up in a database on our own server; your IP address is not sent to anyone for this.
• The application does not record your queries; web server logs are deleted after 7 days.

Your IP address

Like every website, we see the IP address you connect from. We use it to show it to you on the home page, to look up its location and provider in the DB-IP Lite database on our server, and to limit the number of requests to prevent abuse. Rate limit counters are kept only in server memory and reset within an hour at most.

Your queries

The domain name or IP address you enter in a tool is looked up through our server on the servers needed to answer it: registry WHOIS servers for WHOIS lookups (for example nic.tr for .tr domains), the domain's authoritative DNS servers and public DNS servers such as Google, Cloudflare and Quad9 for the DNS tools, and the server you are checking for SSL and port checks. These servers see our server's IP address, not yours. Blacklist checks only search our own database.

The application does not record your queries. WHOIS results are kept in server memory for up to one hour to answer repeated queries quickly; this cache does not contain who made the query. Result addresses (such as /whois/8.8.8.8) are not indexed by search engines.

CSR and private key

The CSR tool generates the key pair on our server from the details in the form and sends it only to you over an encrypted connection. The form details and the private key are not stored or written to any log. Keep your private key in a safe place and never share it.

Whitelist requests

When you send a whitelist request for a blacklisted IP address, your name, email address, note and the requested IP address are stored in our database and sent to our team by email. This information is only used to review the request, add the IP address to the whitelist on our firewall and let you know the result by email.

Request details are kept as long as the whitelist entry is active. If you want them deleted, just write to the address below.

Server logs

Our web server keeps standard access logs for security and troubleshooting: IP address, requested address, browser information and time. Because the requests the tools send to the server contain the query, your queries also appear in these logs. The logs are deleted automatically after 7 days and are not used for any other purpose.

Cookies and browser storage

We do not use cookies. Your language and theme (light/dark) preferences are stored only in your browser (localStorage); you can remove them by clearing the site's data in your browser.

Third parties

The site has no ads, analytics tools, social media plugins or externally loaded fonts or scripts; pages are loaded only from our own server. Location data comes from the DB-IP Lite database published by DB-IP and stored on our server (CC BY 4.0 license). Your personal data is not sold and is not shared with anyone unless required by law.

Your rights

Under Article 11 of the Turkish Personal Data Protection Law (KVKK, No. 6698), you have the right to learn whether your personal data is processed, to request information about it, and to request its correction if incomplete or incorrect, or its deletion. You can send your requests to the email address below.
