Privacy Policy

MX Probe (https://mxprobe.com) provides free email and network diagnostic tools. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information.

We collect two categories of information:

Information you provide

When you use our tools, you may paste email headers, IP addresses, domain names, or other network data into our forms. This data is processed entirely in your browser and is never transmitted to our servers. We do not store, log, or retain any input you provide to our tools.

Information collected automatically

We collect standard web analytics data when you visit the site, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, and time spent on pages. This is collected through our analytics provider and is used solely to understand how the site is used and to improve it.

We use cookies for the following purposes:

• Analytics cookies — to understand site usage patterns (e.g. Google Analytics)
• Advertising cookies — to serve relevant ads through Google AdSense and/or Carbon Ads
• Preference cookies — to remember settings such as your last-used tool

You can disable cookies in your browser settings. Disabling advertising cookies will result in less relevant ads but will not affect tool functionality.

We display advertisements to support the free operation of this site. We use Google AdSense and may use other advertising networks. These services may use cookies and web beacons to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to this site and other sites on the internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out via the NAI opt-out page.

We use automatically collected information to:

• Analyze and improve site performance and usability
• Understand which tools are most useful
• Diagnose technical issues
• Comply with legal obligations

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

We use the following third-party services which have their own privacy policies:

• Google AdSense — advertising (Privacy Policy)
• Google Analytics — analytics (Privacy Policy)
• Vercel — hosting (Privacy Policy)

We do not store tool input data at all. Analytics data is retained for 26 months by default through Google Analytics, after which it is automatically deleted.

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• The right to access the personal data we hold about you
• The right to request correction of inaccurate data
• The right to request deletion of your data
• The right to object to or restrict processing
• The right to data portability
