1. Data We Collect
We collect the following categories of personal data:
- Account Information: Name, email address, and password (hashed, never stored in plain text) when you register on our dashboard.
- Domain Information: Domain names you submit for audit or monitoring, and associated DNS records (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MTA-STS configurations).
- Usage Data: Pages visited, features used, timestamps of activity, IP address, browser type, and device information.
- Payment Data: Processed by our payment partner (Razorpay). We do not store credit card numbers, bank account details, or UPI IDs on our servers.
- Communication Data: Messages sent to us via email or WhatsApp for support purposes.
- Waitlist Information: Your email address, when you ask to join the sending waitlist on our website or dashboard.

2. Free Tools
When you paste an email header into the header analyzer or upload a DMARC report to the DMARC analyzer, we process it to show you the result. We do not store the header, the report, or the addresses, subjects and IP addresses inside them. For the header analyzer we keep only the SPF, DKIM and DMARC results, the hop count, whether TLS was used and the time of the analysis. To prevent abuse we hold your IP address in a rate limiter for about one hour after your last request. As with any page on our site, our server logs also record your IP address (see Usage Data in Section 1).
