How Pattern Recognition Ltd, trading as Domain Intelligence, handles personal data for public docs, API access, support, and commercial contact.
Who we are
Pattern Recognition Ltd, trading as Domain Intelligence, is the controller for personal data handled through these docs, API access, support, and commercial discussions.
Contact: contact@domainintelligence.uk.
What we collect
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Contact and account details | Name, work email, organisation, role, billing or admin details, support messages, and commercial correspondence. |
| API and security records | API key records, authentication events, request metadata, IP address, user agent, timestamps, rate-limit events, audit logs, and abuse-prevention records. |
| Technical intelligence data | Domains, hostnames, URLs, IP addresses, DNS status, malware family labels, passive DNS counts, resolved IPs, ASN context, timestamps, source context, and review state. |
| Site data | Server logs and strictly necessary technical data needed to deliver the docs and protect the service. |
Technical intelligence data is usually about infrastructure. It can become personal data where it includes identifiable contacts, account names, credentials, registrant details, or similar information.
Why we use it
| Purpose | Lawful basis |
|---|---|
| Provide docs, API access, support, account administration, and service communications. | Contract, or legitimate interests where we are supporting users before or outside a contract. |
| Operate threat-intelligence datasets for DNS, network security, abuse prevention, and customer analysis. | Legitimate interests in network and information security. |
| Protect the service, investigate misuse, enforce rate limits, and maintain audit records. | Legitimate interests in security, fraud prevention, and service integrity. |
| Meet legal, tax, accounting, regulatory, and dispute-management duties. | Legal obligation, contract, or legitimate interests depending on the record. |
| Send optional communications or use non-essential cookies, where offered. | Consent. |
Cookies
The public docs use only the technical data needed to serve pages and keep the service secure. If non-essential analytics, advertising, or tracking cookies are added later, they will be used only with consent.
Sharing
We share personal data where needed with hosting, infrastructure, email, support, security, payment, accounting, legal, and professional service providers. We may also share data with customers receiving subscribed intelligence, regulators, courts, law enforcement, or other parties where required by law or needed to protect the service.
We do not sell client contact data.
Retention
We keep personal data for as long as needed for the purpose it was collected. Account, API, and audit records are retained while access is active and for a reasonable security and dispute period after access ends. Legal, tax, and accounting records are kept for the period required by law. Threat-intelligence records are retained while they remain useful for security analysis, quality control, or customer service delivery.
International processing
Some providers may process data outside the UK. Where UK data protection law requires safeguards for those transfers, we use appropriate transfer terms or another lawful transfer mechanism.
Your rights
Depending on the data and context, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to, or receive a copy of your personal data. Where processing is based on consent, you can withdraw consent at any time.
Send requests to contact@domainintelligence.uk. You can also complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office: ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint/.
Automated processing
Domain Intelligence systems may automatically normalise, group, score, filter, and enrich technical indicators. We do not use these docs or API access to make solely automated decisions about people that have legal or similarly significant effects.
Updates
This notice may be updated as services, legal requirements, or operating details change.
