Requesting removal
HTTPSense publishes reports for a small, hand-reviewed set of domains. If yours is one of them and you would rather it were not, this page covers what is there, where it came from, and how to ask us to take it down.
What is published
A published report can show a domain's DNS records, its TLS certificate, registration details as the registry's WHOIS service returns them, the hosting and technology we were able to detect, and the subdomains we observed beneath it.
Only domains on the reviewed list are published; everything else is kept out of search indexes. Running one of the tools here publishes nothing — checking a domain and publishing a report about it are separate things.
Where the data comes from
All of it is public, and all of it is collected passively. DNS records come from public resolvers. Certificate details come from the certificate the server itself presents to anyone who connects. Registration data comes from the registry's own WHOIS service. Subdomain names come from public certificate-transparency logs and similar read-only sources.
We do not scan ports, guess credentials, or reach anything that is not already being served openly. That also means taking a domain down from this site does not make the underlying records private — they stay exactly as public as they were, at their original sources.
Making a request
Email the domain name to privacy@httpsense.com.
It helps if you can show some connection to the domain — writing from an address at it is the simplest way. Otherwise we have no way to tell the operator of a domain from someone asking about a domain that is not theirs.
We read every request and weigh it on its own merits, but reading one is not the same as acting on it. We may decline, and we cannot offer a timeline.
Unless you tell us otherwise, we take a request to cover the whole domain — the report and the subdomain listing together.
