Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 2025

This privacy policy describes how myip.foo ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you use our IP lookup service.

TL;DR: We don't log your IP address permanently. We use anonymous analytics (Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity) with your consent. Cloudflare processes your IP for geolocation but doesn't store it. You can opt out anytime.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information You Provide

We do not require you to create an account or provide personal information to use myip.foo.

1.2 Automatically Collected Information

When you visit myip.foo, we automatically collect:

IP Address (temporary): Your public IP address is processed in real-time to display geolocation data. We do NOT log or store your IP address.
Geolocation Data: Country, city, ISP, and timezone are derived from your IP via Cloudflare's infrastructure. This data is shown to you but NOT stored.
Browser Information: Browser type, operating system, and device type (detected client-side).
Usage Data (with consent): If you accept analytics cookies, we collect anonymous usage statistics via Google Analytics 4 and Microsoft Clarity (page views, clicks, session duration).

2. How We Use Your Information

We use collected information for:

Service Delivery: Displaying your IP address and geolocation data.
Analytics (with consent): Understanding how users interact with our service to improve performance and user experience.
Security: Preventing abuse and ensuring service availability (via Cloudflare).

3. Third-Party Services

3.1 Cloudflare (Infrastructure)

myip.foo is hosted on Cloudflare Workers. Cloudflare processes your IP address to provide geolocation data and CDN services. Cloudflare's privacy policy: cloudflare.com/privacypolicy

3.2 Google Analytics 4 (Analytics - Optional)

With your consent, we use Google Analytics 4 to collect anonymous usage statistics. GA4 uses cookies to track sessions. You can opt out via our cookie banner or browser settings. Google's privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy

3.3 Microsoft Clarity (Analytics - Optional)

With your consent, we use Microsoft Clarity to understand user behavior (heatmaps, session recordings). Clarity does NOT record personally identifiable information. Microsoft's privacy policy: privacy.microsoft.com/privacystatement

3.4 Google AdSense (Advertising - Optional)

With your consent, we use Google AdSense to display advertisements. AdSense may:

3.5 Google STUN Servers (WebRTC - Technical)

For dual-stack IP detection, we use Google STUN servers (stun.l.google.com) via WebRTC. This is a standard protocol for NAT traversal and does NOT log your IP permanently.

4. Cookies and Tracking

5. Data Retention

IP Address: NOT stored (processed in real-time only).

Cookie Preferences: Stored locally in your browser until you clear localStorage.
