Privacy Policy

Last Updated: December 2, 2025

At IP Lookup, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our service.

1. Information We Collect

Automatically Collected Information

When you use IP Lookup, we automatically process certain information to provide our service:

  • IP Address: Your public IP address is processed to provide lookup functionality
  • Geolocation Data: Approximate location information derived from your IP address through Cloudflare's infrastructure
  • Network Information: Technical details such as ASN, datacenter location, timezone, and coordinates
  • User Agent: Browser and device information from your HTTP headers

Information We Do Not Collect

We are committed to minimal data collection:

  • We do not store your IP address or any lookup requests
  • We do not use cookies or tracking pixels
  • We do not collect personal identification information
  • We do not create user profiles or track behavior across sessions
  • We do not use analytics or third-party tracking services

2. How We Use Information

The information we process is used solely to:

  • Display your current IP address and associated information
  • Respond to API requests with geolocation data
  • Provide the core functionality of our service

All information is processed in real-time and is not retained after the response is delivered.

3. Data Storage and Retention

We do not store any user data. All requests are processed instantly at the edge through Cloudflare Workers and no information is logged or retained. Once your request is processed and the response is delivered, all associated data is immediately discarded.

4. Third-Party Services

Cloudflare

Our service is built on and powered by Cloudflare's infrastructure. When you access IP Lookup:

  • Your request passes through Cloudflare's network
  • Cloudflare provides the geolocation data derived from your IP address
  • Cloudflare may process data in accordance with their own privacy policy
  • We recommend reviewing Cloudflare's Privacy Policy at https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/

No Other Third Parties

We do not use any other third-party services, analytics providers, advertising networks, or external APIs that would have access to your data.

5. Data Sharing and Disclosure

Since we do not store any data, we have nothing to share or disclose. We do not:

  • Sell, rent, or trade user information
  • Share data with third parties for marketing purposes
  • Provide data to advertisers or analytics companies
  • Transfer data to any external parties except as required by law

6. Security

We implement security measures to protect the service:

  • All connections use HTTPS encryption
  • Our service runs on Cloudflare's secure infrastructure with DDoS protection
  • No data storage means no data breach risk
  • Regular security updates and monitoring

However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Your Rights and Choices

Since we do not collect or store personal data:

  • There is no data to access, correct, or delete
  • There are no accounts to manage
  • You can stop using the service at any time
  • No consent is required for data processing beyond standard HTTP communication

8. Children's Privacy

Our service does not knowingly collect any information from children under 13. The service is designed to be privacy-friendly for all users, including minors. Since we do not collect or store any personal information, there is no risk of collecting data from children.

9. International Data Transfers

Our service operates globally through Cloudflare's edge network. When you use IP Lookup, your request is processed at the nearest Cloudflare datacenter to your location. No data is transferred or stored internationally since no data is retained.

10. Do Not Track Signals

Since we do not track users or collect behavioral data, Do Not Track signals are inherently respected. Our service does not change behavior based on DNT settings because we don't track users in the first place.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.

Material changes to this Privacy Policy will be prominently announced on our website at least 30 days before taking effect.

12. Legal Basis for Processing

Our legal basis for processing information is:

  • Legitimate Interest: Processing is necessary to provide the service you are requesting
  • Contractual Necessity: Processing is required to fulfill our terms of service

13. California Privacy Rights

If you are a California resident, you have specific rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). However, since we do not collect, store, or sell personal information, these rights are inherently protected:

  • We do not sell personal information
  • There is no personal information to access or delete
  • We do not discriminate based on privacy rights

14. European Privacy Rights

If you are in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Since we do not store personal data:

  • There is no data to access, rectify, or erase
  • There is no data processing to restrict or object to
  • There is no data to port
  • Processing occurs solely to provide the immediate service

15. Contact Information

If you have any questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy or our practices, please contact us through our website.

16. Transparency Commitment

We believe in complete transparency about data handling. This privacy policy reflects our genuine commitment to:

  • Process only the minimum data necessary
  • Never store or log user information
  • Maintain a privacy-first approach to service design
  • Be honest about our data practices

If our data practices ever change, this policy will be updated to reflect those changes clearly and prominently.
