Privacy Policy
Short version: the server sends your public IP to ipwho.is, and stores nothing in your browser.
Short version
To show a location, this site's server sends your public IP address to the geolocation service ipwho.is. The page itself sets no cookie, stores nothing in your browser, and the lookup result is kept only in server memory for up to one hour.
What is sent, and by whom
- Your public IP. It is already visible to every server you visit, including this one. The browser does not type it or send it as a parameter: the server reads it from the connection.
- Your IPv4 address. On dual-stack networks the browser asks api.ipify.org, with v4.ident.me as a fallback, which IPv4 address it is using. That service sees the request and the address; the result is sent to this site only for the lookup and is not stored in the browser.
- The request to ipwho.is. The server sends the address in the URL path and asks for a fixed list of fields. No cookie, account, email address or browser identifier is included.
- A fixed user agent. The upstream request identifies the tool as toolesia-ip/1.0, not as your browser.
- No other data. The page does not read your location, camera, clipboard, device model or browsing history. The copy button writes the displayed address to the clipboard only when you click it.
What is stored
The application keeps a short-lived memory cache of lookup results, keyed by address, with a one-hour expiry and a fixed size limit. The cache exists so a reload does not spend another upstream request. It is not written to the site database, and it disappears when the service restarts.
The browser stores nothing: no local storage, no session storage, no cookie. The page does use the browser's normal HTTP cache for its own stylesheet and script, which contain no personal data.
Server logs
Like any website, the server records the request for the page: URL, time, IP address and user agent. Those logs are used to serve pages, diagnose errors and count aggregate traffic. They are not joined to the lookup result, and the tool does not write a separate record of who looked up which address.
The third party
ipwho.is receives the public IP and returns the location and network fields. Its own privacy policy governs what it retains. The request is made over HTTPS. The page does not load any script, font, image or tracker from ipwho.is; only the server talks to it, and only for the address being displayed.
If you do not want your address sent to a third-party database, use a VPN or a different network, or skip this tool. The rest of the site does not depend on it.
Why this trade exists
A geolocation database is large and changes constantly. Shipping it to the browser would be slower and would still require an update mechanism. The alternative is a server-side request to a specialist, which is what this page does. The trade is disclosed here rather than hidden behind a generic "we value your privacy" sentence.
Children
Nothing is collected beyond the IP address that any web request carries. The tool is a network diagnostic, not a service directed at children.
