Privacy Policy

Introduction

Welcome to Domain Watch. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our mobile application. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our practices.

Data Collection

What We Don't Collect

Domain Watch does not collect, transmit, or store any personal information. Specifically, we do not collect:

• Personal identification information (name, email, phone number, etc.)
• Device identifiers or advertising IDs
• Location data
• Usage analytics or tracking data
• Search queries or domain searches
• Your watchlist or saved domains
• Any other personal or usage data

Local Storage Only

All data generated by Domain Watch is stored locally on your device:

• Search History: Your domain searches are saved only on your device
• Watchlist: Domains you monitor are stored locally
• Preferences: App settings and preferences remain on your device
• WHOIS Data: Domain information is cached locally for your convenience

This data never leaves your device and is not accessible to us or any third parties.

How the App Works

Domain Searches

When you search for a domain, Domain Watch queries public WHOIS databases and domain availability services directly from your device. These queries are:

• Sent directly from your device to public WHOIS servers
• Not routed through our servers
• Not logged or recorded by us

Third-Party Services

Domain Watch uses publicly available WHOIS services to check domain availability and retrieve domain information. These services may have their own privacy policies and data practices. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of:

• WHOIS service providers
• Domain registrars (when you choose to purchase a domain)

We do not control these third-party services and are not responsible for their privacy practices.

Data Security

Since all data is stored locally on your device, the security of your information depends on the security measures of your device:

• Keep your device's operating system updated
• Use device passcodes or biometric security
• Be cautious when sharing your device with others

If you delete the Domain Watch app, all locally stored data will be permanently removed from your device.

Children's Privacy

Domain Watch does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children under the age of 13. Since we don't collect any data at all, the app is safe for users of all ages.

Disclaimer

Domain Watch is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We strive to provide accurate domain information, but:
