Cloudflare reaffirms DNS privacy commitments

Cloudflare has reaffirmed its commitment to user privacy for its 1.1.1.1 public DNS resolver through a recent independent examination. The audit, conducted by a Big 4 accounting firm, confirms that Cloudflare's systems meet its stated privacy guarantees, ensuring user data is not sold, shared, or used for advertising. Source IP addresses are anonymized and deleted within 25 hours. While a small percentage of network packets are used for troubleshooting and attack mitigation, this does not impact personal data. Cloudflare aims to set an industry standard for privacy by undergoing such rigorous, independent reviews.
