GDPR DNS Compliance: Resolution Without the Compliance Headache

Why DNS matters for GDPR

DNS queries can reveal which services and domains users and devices access. Under GDPR, that data may be personal data, and its processing—including storage, retention, and sharing—must be lawful, limited, and documented. Using a resolver that logs heavily, keeps data indefinitely, or feeds it into advertising or analytics increases risk. NETVECTOR is built to reduce that risk: we do not log individual DNS requests and use aggregate metrics only; we do not use DNS data for ads or product.

How we support compliance

We do not log individual DNS requests; we use aggregate metrics only, supporting data minimization. We do not sell or repurpose your DNS data. For procurement and DPA reviews, we can address subprocessors, data location, and processing purposes. Enterprise contracts can include specific terms and documentation for EU/UK compliance.

Data minimization and retention

We do not log individual DNS queries; we use aggregate metrics only and do not build long-term profiles from DNS. This supports GDPR’s storage limitation and purpose limitation principles. For full details, see our privacy and data handling documentation; enterprise can discuss specific commitments with sales.

Next steps for compliance-led teams

If you’re evaluating DNS for GDPR compliance, start with our privacy and data handling documentation. For enterprise and custom needs, contact sales. We can outline how we handle data, where resolution occurs, and how it fits your DPAs and audits.
