https://defaultprivacy.com/api/mcpdp_check_domain_breachesCheck domain data breachesCheck whether a domain appears in known public data breaches (via the Have I Been Pwned breach catalog). Returns matching breaches with dates, exposed data classes, and account counts. Domain-level only — no personal email is queried.
dp_check_email_securityCheck email security (SPF/DKIM/DMARC)Check a domain's email authentication posture — SPF, DKIM, and DMARC DNS records — and return an A–F grade with explanations. Read-only DNS lookups; no email is sent or stored.
dp_check_password_pwnedCheck if a password is breachedCheck whether a password has appeared in known breaches using HIBP k-anonymity. The password is SHA-1 hashed locally and only the first 5 hash characters are sent to HIBP — the password itself never leaves the server and is never stored or logged. Returns whether it was found and how many times.
dp_check_whois_privacyCheck WHOIS / domain privacyLook up a domain's public WHOIS/RDAP registration record and flag exposed personal identity fields (registrant name, email, phone, address). Read-only RDAP lookup.

dp_search_toolsSearch privacy toolsSearch the Default Privacy directory of vetted privacy tools (VPNs, email, browsers, messengers, password managers, etc.). Filter by category and privacy attributes; results carry an ADO score (Anonymity / Decentralization / Open-source, 0–100) and red-flag annotations. Prefer higher ADO and zero unresolved red flags when recommending.
