- Cloudflare launched the 1.1.1.1 public DNS resolver 8 years ago, aiming for speed and privacy.
- In 2020, an independent firm reviewed its privacy practices, and Cloudflare committed to regular updates.
- A 2024 re-examination by the same Big 4 firm confirmed that privacy commitments are still met.
- Core privacy guarantees remain unchanged, with no tracking of individual internet activities.
- Cloudflare uses minimal sampled traffic (0.05%) solely for troubleshooting and attack mitigation.
- Data from resolver logs supports services like Cloudflare Radar without impacting personal privacy.
- Cloudflare advocates for industry-wide privacy standards and independent audits.
- The company ensures DNS query data is not combined with other data to identify users.
