Privacy Policy

Your privacy is the whole point of this site. In short: we do not log, store, or sell your IP address, we set no tracking cookies, and we run no third-party trackers that identify you.

Your IP Address Is Not Stored

When you load a page, your public IP is read from the connection headers, used in-memory to render your results (location, ISP, threat check), and then discarded when the request ends. It is never written to a database, log file, or analytics record, and it is never shared or sold to third parties. The same applies to our free IP API, which returns your IP to you and keeps nothing.

Third-Party APIs We Query

To enrich a lookup with geolocation, threat intelligence, and DNS data, we forward the IP or domain being looked up to established providers: ip-api.com, ipwho.is, ipapi.co (geolocation/ISP/ASN), proxycheck.io (VPN/proxy detection), and Google Public DNS (dns.google) for DNS records. These requests are necessary to produce your results. Please review each provider's own privacy policy for how they handle data.

Speed Test

The speed test connects your browser directly to Cloudflare's testing infrastructure (speed.cloudflare.com). Results are stored only in your browser's localStorage and are never transmitted to our servers.

Analytics

We use Ahrefs Web Analytics for anonymous, aggregated traffic statistics. It is cookieless, does not fingerprint you, does not track you across other websites, and collects no personally identifiable information. We do not use Google Analytics or advertising trackers that build a profile of you.

Affiliate Disclosure

Some pages link to VPN and privacy products. If you buy through those links, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. In line with FTC guidance, we disclose this clearly wherever such links appear. Commissions never affect our tool results, the data we show you, or how we rank or describe products.
