The plugin downloads the public DNS bootstrap file containing TLD-to-RDAP-server mappings<\/li>\n<li><strong>When data is sent<\/strong>: During TLD list updates (manual or automatic) and when validating domain extensions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>RDAP Servers (Various Domain Registries)<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>What the service is<\/strong>: Various RDAP servers operated by domain registries and registrars worldwide (e.g., Verisign for .com\/.net, PIR for .org, etc.)<\/li>\n<li><strong>What it is used for<\/strong>: Querying domain registration information and availability status using the RDAP protocol<\/li>\n<li><strong>What data is sent<\/strong>: Only the domain name being queried (e.g., \"example.com\"). No personal or sensitive information is transmitted<\/li>\n<li><strong>When data is sent<\/strong>: When users perform domain availability searches through the plugin interface<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><strong>Important Notes<\/strong>: \n- Domain queries are cached locally to improve performance and reduce external service requests\n- No personal, private, or sensitive data is transmitted to these services\n- Only domain names and TLD information are sent for legitimate domain availability checking\n- All communications use secure HTTPS connections\n- The plugin respects rate limiting and best practices for RDAP queries\n- If external services are unavailable, the plugin uses cached TLD data and provides appropriate error messages<\/p>\n\n<h3>Support<\/h3>\n\n<p>For technical support, feature requests, or bug reports:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Support Portal<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linknacional.com.br\/suporte\/\">Link Nacional Support<\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong>GitHub<\/strong>: Report issues on our <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/LinkNacional\/owh-domain-whois-rdap\">GitHub repository<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><strong>Transform your website into a professional domain checking service with OWH Domain WHOIS RDAP today!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<!--section=installation-->\n<h3>1.
