Data We Collect

Server Logs

When you visit this website, your browser automatically sends information to our hosting provider (Cloudflare, Inc.). This includes your IP address, browser type, operating system, and the page you requested. This data is stored in server logs for security purposes and then automatically deleted. We have no control over this data collection.

Domain Searches

When you search for domain names, your keywords are sent to our API to generate suggestions and check domain availability. We do not store your search queries or associate them with your identity. Search results are cached temporarily (up to 1 hour) to improve performance.

Analytics (Pirsch)

We use Pirsch for website analytics. Pirsch is a privacy-focused analytics tool that does not use cookies, does not collect personal data, and does not fingerprint visitors.

Data collected by Pirsch: page views, referrer, browser type, device type, country (from anonymized IP). No personal data is collected or stored. No cookie banner is required because Pirsch does not place any cookies on your device.

For more information, see Pirsch's privacy policy.

Cookies

We do not use tracking cookies. This website stores one value in your browser's localStorage (not a cookie):

• theme — remembers your preferred color scheme (light or dark)

This value never leaves your browser and is not transmitted to any server.

Affiliate Links

This website contains affiliate links to domain registrars (currently Namecheap). When you click a "Register" button, you are redirected to the registrar's website with our affiliate tracking ID. If you purchase a domain through this link, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.

The affiliate partner may set their own cookies on their website. Please refer to their respective privacy policies for details.

Third-Party Services

We use Cloudflare as our hosting provider, DNS provider, and for AI-powered domain name generation. Cloudflare may process technical data (IP addresses, HTTP headers) as part of their service. See Cloudflare's privacy policy.

Domain availability is checked via the RDAP protocol (public domain registration data) and DNS lookups. These are standard internet protocols that do not involve sharing your personal data.

Your Rights

Under the GDPR, you have the following rights:

• Right of access — You can request a copy of the data we hold about you.
• Right to rectification — You can ask us to correct inaccurate data.
• Right to erasure — You can ask us to delete your data at any time.
• Right to lodge a complaint — You have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at hello@domainsmith.dev.
