CleanBrowsing is a DNS filtering service for families and organisations. It provides family-safe browsing, content filtering by category and protection against web-based malware and phishing. Schools, Wi-Fi providers, municipalities, retailers and businesses are named as target groups, and the service supports acceptable-use policies for a network. Filtering runs as an online DNS service, so no software is needed on each device, and retention of DNS query logs can be configured, from no logging to detailed log retention.
CleanBrowsing, Inc. is a US company, and its privacy policy describes it as a U.S.-based, global company. Providers headquartered in the United States can be subject to US legal demands, which is the main sovereignty concern for European organisations. The privacy policy states that data is primarily stored in the United States and the European Economic Area, and that processing aligns with GDPR principles. It does not name a data processing agreement or standard contractual clauses, and it refers to the EU-US and Swiss-US Privacy Shield frameworks, so organisations should check the current transfer terms before use.
