Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 7, 2026

1. Overview

IPAddress.to ("the Service") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data.

2. Information We Collect

Automatically Collected

  • IP Address: Your IP address is collected when you use the Service, as it is essential to the core functionality (showing you your own IP information). It is also used for rate limiting and abuse prevention.
  • Request Data: Standard server logs may record request timestamps, URLs accessed, HTTP headers (including User-Agent and Referer), and response codes.

Not Collected

  • We do not require account registration or collect personal information such as names, email addresses, or phone numbers.
  • We do not use tracking cookies for advertising purposes.

3. How We Use Your Information

  • Service Delivery: To provide IP lookup, geolocation, DNS, WHOIS, and other network tool results
  • Rate Limiting: To enforce fair usage and prevent abuse of the API and web interface
  • Security: To detect and prevent malicious activity, DDoS attacks, and unauthorized access
  • Analytics: To understand aggregate usage patterns and improve the Service

4. Cookies and Local Storage

The Service uses minimal client-side storage:

  • Theme Preference: Your light/dark mode preference is stored in localStorage
  • Search History: Recent DNS lookups are stored in localStorage for convenience. This data never leaves your browser.

We do not use third-party tracking cookies or advertising pixels.

5. Third-Party Services

The Service relies on third-party data sources to provide results:

  • IP geolocation databases for location data
  • Public DNS resolvers (Google, Cloudflare, Quad9, etc.) for DNS propagation checks
  • WHOIS registries for domain and IP registration data

When you perform a lookup, your query (IP address, domain name, or hostname) may be sent to these third-party services. Their respective privacy policies apply to that data.

6. Data Retention

Server logs are retained for a limited period for operational and security purposes. We do not maintain long-term databases of individual user activity.

7. Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may disclose information only if required by law or to protect the rights, safety, or property of the Service and its users.

8. Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the data we process. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

  • Request access to data we hold about you
  • Request deletion of your data
  • Object to processing of your data
  • Lodge a complaint with a data protection authority

10. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Continued use of the Service constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
