Privacy Policy

Overview

Domainbar ("the app") is a macOS app developed by Dakabi LLC ("we", "us"). This page describes what data the app handles and where it goes.

What we collect

Nothing. We do not operate any server. Domainbar never sends your domain list, its history or any usage data to us.

The network traffic Domainbar sends

Domainbar's only network traffic is the checks themselves, made directly from your Mac:

• Registration (RDAP): an HTTPS request for each domain to the registry that runs its top-level domain (for example rdap.verisign.com for .com), at most once a day per domain, and once a week a download of IANA's list of those registries from data.iana.org.
• Certificates: a TLS handshake with each host and port you watch (port 443 on the domain, and on www if it exists, plus any mail servers you add). For SMTP on port 587 or 25, Domainbar greets the server, asks it to start TLS, reads the certificate and says goodbye; it never sends mail. While checking a certificate chain, macOS may fetch missing intermediate certificates or revocation status from the certificate authority, as it does for any app.
• DNS: queries for each domain's A, AAAA, NS, MX, TXT and CAA records, www's CNAME, the _dmarc record, the DKIM selectors you add and the domains your SPF record includes. By default they go through your Mac's own DNS settings. If you choose DNS over HTTPS in Settings, they go to Cloudflare (cloudflare-dns.com) or Google (dns.google) instead, which then see the names you watch.

HTTPS requests identify themselves as Domainbar/1.0. Like any network traffic, the checks reveal your Mac's public IP address to the registries, the servers you watch and your DNS provider, each under its own privacy policy. Sample-data mode runs no checks.

What's stored on your Mac

• Your watch list: domains, client groups, certificate hosts and DKIM selectors.
• Check results and history: registration data, certificate details and DNS records as last seen, and every change for two years, in a database inside the app's sandbox container.
• Settings: schedule, reminder days, resolver choice, notification choices and the name you type for reports.

Reports and CSV files are written only where you save them; a CSV you import is read once and not kept. Deleting the app deletes its container and everything in it.

Notifications

If you turn on notifications (Domainbar Pro), the app asks macOS for permission. Notifications are created on your Mac from its own checks; nothing is sent to a push service.

Purchases

Domainbar Pro is sold through Apple's In-App Purchase system. Apple processes the payment; we never see your payment details. Apple's privacy policy applies.

What we don't use

• Analytics or telemetry
• Advertising networks or identifiers
• Crash-reporting services
• Cookies, web beacons, or tracking
• Third-party SDKs of any kind

Children's privacy

Domainbar is a tool for managing domains and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone.

Changes to this policy

If the app's data handling ever changes, this page will be updated and the "Last updated" date revised.
