Privacy Policy

Last updated: 21 October 2026

WebSmart Tools (websmartools.com) is a free tools website. This policy explains, in plain language, what happens to information when you use the site. The short version: the tools run in your browser, we do not run accounts, and we do not keep a database of what you look up.

What the tools process

When you use a tool you type in a domain name, an IP address or a website URL. That input has to be sent to the public data source that holds the answer, for example a domain registry's RDAP server for WHOIS data, a public DNS resolver such as Google's or Cloudflare's for DNS records, Google's PageSpeed API for speed tests, an IP geolocation provider for location lookups, and Certificate Transparency logs for SSL checks. Those services receive the domain, IP or URL you asked about, because they cannot answer without it. They are governed by their own privacy policies.

We do not store your lookups. The site is served as static pages with a small API layer used only to fetch and format public data. We keep no accounts, no user profiles and no history of which domains or addresses any visitor has checked.

Analytics

We do not run an analytics service on this site, and the site does not set tracking cookies of its own. We do not build profiles of visitors or follow anyone around the web, and we hold no lookup data to combine with anything in the first place (see above). The only cookies that may appear here come from the advertising described below.

Advertising

The site is supported by Google AdSense advertising. Google and its partners may set cookies to serve and measure ads, including personalised ads based on your visits to this and other sites, where you have consented to that in Google's own settings. You can review or switch off ad personalisation at Google's Ad Settings (adssettings.google.com) and learn how Google uses data from sites like ours at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. You can also control cookies at any time through your browser settings, including blocking or deleting them, without affecting how the tools work.

Cookies we rely on

The tools themselves need no cookies to work. Cookies on this site come from the advertising service described above. If you arrived from an affiliate link on another site, that network may set its own cookie, covered by its own policy.

Affiliate links

This site does not currently use affiliate links. Outbound links, for example registrar links shown next to available domains, are plain links. If affiliate links are introduced later, a disclosure will be added here.

Your data and other sites

Tool results come from public sources such as domain registries. If your own domain's registration details appear in a WHOIS result, that information was published by the registry, and questions about it belong with your registrar, who also controls privacy protection and redaction.

Children

The site is a technical utility aimed at website owners and developers. It is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect information from them.

Changes and contact

If this policy changes, the new version will be published on this page with an updated date. Questions about privacy can be sent to [email protected].
