Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how WhatIsMyIP.live ("we", "our", or "us") handles information when you use our website, IP lookup tool, resource directory, and educational blog. We write this page in plain language because privacy is one of the core topics our readers come here to understand.

Information We Collect

When you visit our IP lookup tool, your browser contacts a third-party geolocation provider so your public IP address, approximate location, ISP, and related network details can be displayed back to you. The result is shown in your browser for your own use. We do not ask you to create an account, and we do not operate a user profile database for IP lookups.

Like most websites, our hosting and security systems may receive standard technical request information such as a timestamp, browser type, requested URL, and IP address. We use this information only to keep the website available, investigate abuse, and troubleshoot technical problems. We do not sell IP lookup results or build personal dossiers from them.

Cookies and Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand which pages are useful, how visitors move through the site, and which guides need improvement. Analytics may set cookies or use similar technologies to measure visits and engagement. We review this data in aggregate; for example, we may see that a guide about IPv6 is popular, not that a named person read it.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. You can also use browser privacy tools, content blockers, or Google's own analytics opt-out options if you do not want analytics cookies stored on your device.

Advertising

We may use Google AdSense to display advertisements on content pages. Google and its partners may use cookies or similar technologies to show ads, measure ad performance, and prevent fraud. Advertising helps keep the IP lookup tool and guides free to use.

We do not place ads inside contact forms, legal text, or intentionally empty pages. We also do not allow advertisers to decide what our guides say. You can learn more about how Google uses data from sites and apps that use its services at Google's partner-sites policy.

Third-Party Services

To detect your IP address and geolocation we rely on public APIs such as ipapi.co and ipify.org. Blog articles and resource pages may link to external tools such as DNS checkers, privacy tests, security scanners, and official standards documentation. These services have their own privacy policies, terms, and logging practices, which we encourage you to review before entering sensitive information.

Contact Form

Our contact form opens your default email client to send a message to manotoshsarkar1994@gmail.com. The information you submit is used solely to respond to your inquiry, investigate corrections, handle privacy questions, or review resource suggestions. Please do not send passwords, private keys, full screenshots containing personal data, or sensitive account information.

Data Retention

Email messages are retained only as long as needed to respond, document a correction request, or handle a legitimate legal or security issue. Aggregated analytics reports may be retained longer because they do not identify a person directly and help us decide which articles to update.

Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date above will reflect the most recent revision.
