Privacy Policy

Last Update: April 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Ops.Tools collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you visit ops.tools, create an account, use our API tools, contact support, or subscribe to product updates.

Ops.Tools provides DNS, WHOIS, IP, SSL, HTTP header, port, reverse IP, and email authentication tooling. Some service results are derived from public internet records and third-party data sources. This policy covers personal information we collect from users and customers, not ownership rights in public registry data returned by the APIs.

Information We Collect

  • Account information: name, email address, company name, username, password-derived authentication data, account settings, and security preferences.
  • Billing information: plan, invoices, credits, payment status, and billing contact details. Payment card details are handled by our payment processor and are not stored directly by Ops.Tools.
  • API usage information: API key identifiers, endpoint usage, timestamps, response status, quota events, IP address, user agent, and the domains, IP addresses, hostnames, headers, or other values you submit to the tools.
  • Support and communications: messages, attachments, contact form submissions, security reports, and newsletter preferences.
  • Device, log, and cookie information: browser type, pages viewed, referring pages, diagnostics, fraud-prevention signals, and cookie or similar technology identifiers.

How We Use Information

  • Provide, maintain, secure, and improve the website, dashboard, APIs, demos, and documentation.
  • Authenticate users, protect API keys, manage quotas, process billing, and deliver support.
  • Monitor reliability, debug failures, prevent abuse, investigate suspicious activity, and enforce terms.
  • Send product, billing, service, security, and administrative communications.
  • Analyze aggregate usage so we can improve product coverage, documentation, pricing, and performance.

API Inputs and Public Data

You control the domains, IP addresses, headers, and other values you submit to Ops.Tools. Do not submit secrets, credentials, private keys, regulated personal information, or data you are not authorized to process. We use API inputs to deliver the requested result, maintain service reliability, prevent abuse, and support your account.

How We Share Information

We do not sell personal information. We may share information with service providers that help us host, secure, analyze, bill for, and support the service; with professional advisors; when required by law; to protect users, the service, or the public; or as part of a business transaction such as a merger, financing, or acquisition. Service providers are expected to process information only for the services they provide to us.

Cookies and Analytics

We use cookies and similar technologies for authentication, preferences, security, analytics, and service performance. You can learn more in our Cookie Policy. Browser settings may let you block or delete cookies, but some account and security features may not work without essential cookies.

Retention

We keep information for as long as needed to provide the service, meet legal and tax obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, maintain security, and support legitimate operational needs. API logs and diagnostic records may be retained for shorter periods than billing, tax, or account records.

Your Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, export, delete, restrict, or object to certain processing of your personal information. You may also unsubscribe from marketing emails using the link in those messages.

To request deletion or exercise privacy rights, visit Delete Your Data or contact privacy@ops.tools. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.

California Privacy Notice

California residents may request more information about the categories of personal information we collect, the purposes for collection, the categories of service providers or other recipients, and the rights available under applicable California privacy law. We do not sell personal information, and we do not use customer API inputs to build cross-context advertising profiles.

EEA, UK, and Similar Privacy Rights

Where applicable law provides similar rights, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or objection. You may also have the right to complain to a local data protection authority. We process personal information to perform our contract with you, comply with law, protect legitimate service and security interests, and, when required, with your consent.

Security

We use administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards intended to protect personal information. No internet service can guarantee perfect security, so please keep your account credentials and API keys safe and contact us promptly if you believe they were exposed.

Children

Ops.Tools is intended for professional and developer use. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child provided personal information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

International Processing

Ops.Tools is operated from Canada and the United States, and our service providers may process information in other countries. Data protection rules may differ from those in your location.

Changes and Contact

We may update this policy as our product, service providers, or legal obligations change. Material changes will be reflected by updating the date above. Questions can be sent to privacy@ops.tools.
