For the purposes of applicable data protection law, Reveal operator is the controller of the personal data described in this notice unless stated otherwise.

This notice explains how we handle personal data in connection with:

• the Easy HNS website;
• the Easy HNS public DNS resolver service;
• emails and other direct communications sent to us;
• abuse, security and service integrity handling;
• voluntary support contributions made through third-party platforms such as Whop.

The HNS DoH global pool is operated by the separate HNS DoH project, not by Easy HNS. Easy HNS terms, operational responsibility, support scope, and service commitments apply only to Easy HNS-operated services and do not extend to that external global pool.

A. DNS service data

Easy HNS is designed as a privacy-respecting public resolver and is intended not to keep routine persistent logs of identifiable DNS query activity as a normal operating practice.

To answer DNS requests, some technical data must still be processed transiently in operation, such as:

• source IP address;
• queried domain name;
• query type;
• protocol and connection metadata;
• technical response or error state.

This processing is necessary for the resolver to function. However, Easy HNS is intended not to use this as a normal long-term retained history of identifiable user DNS activity, not to use it for profiling or advertising, and not to keep routine persistent query logs as a standard feature of the service.

Limited technical data may still exist temporarily in memory or short-lived operational handling while requests are being processed. In exceptional cases, limited technical information may also be handled where reasonably necessary for abuse prevention, fault diagnosis, service protection, security incidents, or legal compliance.

B. Website connection data

If you visit the Easy HNS website, limited technical connection data may be processed as needed to deliver the site securely and reliably, such as:

• IP address;
• browser or device type;
• requested pages or files;
• timestamps;
• TLS and basic network metadata.

Easy HNS is intended not to use website traffic for behavioural advertising, profiling, or non-essential analytics by default.

C. Contact and correspondence data

If you email us or otherwise contact us, we may process:

• your name;
• email address;
• the contents of your message;
• attachments;
• any information you choose to provide.

D. Abuse, security and incident data

If we receive an abuse report, legal request, or security complaint, we may process the information included in that report, along with related technical records reasonably necessary to investigate and respond.

E. Support contribution and payment-related data

If you choose to support Easy HNS through Whop or another third-party support platform, we may receive limited information relating to your support contribution, such as:

• your name or username;
• email address;
• support tier or product selected;
• transaction or subscription status;
• renewal, cancellation, refund, or dispute status;
• limited billing or location information made available to us by the platform;
• support-related communications.

We do not store your full payment card details on the Easy HNS website.

We collect personal data:

• directly from you when you use the resolver service;
• directly from you when you contact us;
• automatically through the operation of the website and network;
• from third parties where they submit abuse reports, legal requests, or security notifications relating to the service;
• from Whop or another support platform if you choose to make a support contribution through that platform.

A. To operate, secure and maintain Easy HNS

This includes routing DNS requests, delivering website content, preventing abuse, rate limiting, monitoring service integrity, troubleshooting faults, and defending the service.

Lawful basis: legitimate interests.

B. To respond to enquiries and support requests

If you email us, we use your details to reply and manage the conversation.

Lawful basis: legitimate interests.

C. To handle abuse, security events and service misuse

We may investigate misuse, enforce our Terms of Use and Acceptable Use rules, and protect the service, other users, and third parties.

Lawful basis: legitimate interests.

D. To comply with legal obligations or lawful requests

We may process or disclose personal data where required to comply with applicable law, court orders, lawful requests from competent authorities, tax or accounting obligations, or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

Lawful basis: legal obligation, and where relevant, legitimate interests.

E. To process and administer voluntary support contributions

If you choose to financially support Easy HNS, we may process limited support-related information in order to administer the support relationship, maintain records, respond to contribution-related enquiries, manage cancellations or refunds, and protect against fraud or abuse.

Lawful basis: performance of a contract, and where relevant, legitimate interests.

F. To use non-essential cookies or similar technologies, if we introduce them in future

If we later use analytics or other non-essential cookies, we will ask for consent where required.

Lawful basis: consent.

We may share personal data, where necessary, with:

• hosting and infrastructure providers;
• DNS, networking, TLS, security, and email service providers;
• payment, checkout, subscription, and support platform providers, including Whop where you choose to use that platform;
• professional advisers, such as legal, tax, or compliance advisers;
• regulators, courts, law enforcement, or other authorities where legally required or reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, or service integrity.

We do not sell personal data.

If you choose to support Easy HNS through Whop, your use of Whop and any checkout, billing, subscription, refund, or account features on that platform will also be subject to Whop’s own terms, privacy policy, and platform rules.

This means Whop may act independently in relation to personal data it collects on its own platform. You should review Whop’s own policies before completing a support purchase.

Some service providers may process data outside the United Kingdom. Where that happens, we aim to use providers and arrangements that offer an appropriate level of protection under applicable data protection law.

We aim to keep personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

In broad terms:

• routine DNS resolution data is intended not to be stored as normal persistent query logs;
• contact emails and support messages may be kept for as long as needed to handle the enquiry, maintain records, or protect the service;
• abuse, security, and legal-compliance records may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to investigate, respond, document actions taken, or comply with law;
• support contribution records may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary for accounting, tax, fraud prevention, disputes, chargebacks, compliance, and record-keeping.

Retention periods may vary depending on legal obligations, disputes, security needs, or operational necessity.

Depending on applicable law and the circumstances, you may have the right to:

• ask for access to your personal data;
• ask for correction of inaccurate personal data;
• ask for deletion of personal data;
• ask us to restrict processing;
• object to processing based on legitimate interests;
• ask for data portability where applicable;
• withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

To exercise these rights, contact: Reveal contact

If you have a concern about how we handle personal data, please contact us first at Reveal contact.

You may also complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).

Easy HNS is a general internet infrastructure service and is not specifically directed at children.

We may update this notice from time to time. We will publish the latest version on this page and update the “Last updated” date above.
