Privacy
LeadLamp, at leadlamp.com, offers free tools that check a domain’s email setup. This page explains what LeadLamp collects, why, how long it keeps it, and your rights.
Last updated 18 October 2026
LeadLamp (leadlamp.com) is responsible for the information described on this page. For any question or request about your information, email [email protected].
The checkers, such as the DMARC lookup, read the public DNS records of the domain you enter. To do that, the domain name is sent to public DNS services run by Cloudflare and Google.
LeadLamp keeps a private log of which domains were checked, the score and which checks failed, so it can improve the tools. The log doesn’t include your IP address, and entries are deleted after 12 months. Results are kept for up to 10 minutes so repeat checks are quick.
To stop abuse, LeadLamp counts how many checks come from each connection, using a scrambled one-way version of your IP address that can’t be turned back into the address. Those counts expire within an hour. Records you build with the SPF record generator are checked, not stored. If a DKIM selector you type in works, LeadLamp keeps that selector name, never your domain, so it can try the name automatically in future checks.
The email test gives you an address at leadlamp.net. When your email arrives, Cloudflare passes it to LeadLamp, which checks it straight away and then deletes it. LeadLamp never keeps the email itself, its subject or what you wrote.
LeadLamp keeps only the results, for one day, so your report can show them: whether DKIM, SPF and DMARC passed, the domain you sent from, the name of the DKIM key, and the address and name of the server that sent it. Then they are deleted.
The names of DKIM keys that pass are also counted, with your domain stored only in scrambled form, so the checkers can look for those names for other people.
You give LeadLamp your email address and the domain you want watched. LeadLamp keeps:
LeadLamp uses this to send a confirmation email, one welcome email, and an email whenever something changes on your domain. If you ticked “tips and deals”, some emails also include one offer from a tool LeadLamp recommends.
Sign-ups that are never confirmed are deleted after 30 days. If you unsubscribe, LeadLamp keeps only your email address, the domain and the fact that you unsubscribed, so you are never emailed again by mistake. To stop abuse of the sign-up form, sign-ups are also counted per connection using the same scrambled version of your IP address, and those counts expire within a day.
Some links go to tools LeadLamp recommends, through addresses starting leadlamp.com/go/. When you click one, LeadLamp records which link was clicked, the page you clicked it on and when. No IP address or browser details are stored, and these records are deleted after 24 months.
The partner’s site may set its own cookies to record that you came from LeadLamp, and its own privacy policy applies there. The affiliate disclosure explains how partner links work.
LeadLamp doesn’t use advertising or analytics cookies. Cloudflare, which protects and speeds up the site, may set a strictly necessary security cookie. Every form on the site shows Cloudflare’s “I’m human” check, and Cloudflare processes that check. If you log in to the site’s admin area, WordPress sets the cookies it needs for that.
So you don’t have to type it again, your browser remembers the last domain you checked here for 4 hours and fills it in on other LeadLamp pages. That copy stays in your browser’s storage, and LeadLamp only receives the domain when you run a check. Checking a new domain replaces it.
LeadLamp never sells or shares your information. To run the site it uses:
These services only handle information to provide their service to LeadLamp. Some may handle it outside the UK or EU, with the safeguards the law requires.
You can ask to see the information LeadLamp holds about you, have it corrected or deleted, or object to how it is used. Every email has a one-click unsubscribe, and you can keep domain watch while stopping tips and deals.
Email [email protected] and you’ll get a reply within a month. If you’re unhappy with the answer, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ico.org.uk) in the UK, or to the data protection authority where you live.
LeadLamp is for businesses and isn’t aimed at anyone under 16.
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new date.
