Privacy policy

Last updated: November 14, 2026

Who is responsible

The controller for the processing described here is IPNetKit, the publisher of ipnetkit.com. You can reach us at contact (at) ipnetkit.com. Publisher and hosting details are in the legal notice.

Your IP address and tool inputs

To show your IP address, approximate location and provider, our pages read the connection details our hosting provider (Cloudflare) attaches to each request. These details are used only to build the page or answer you see and are not stored by us.

Addresses or domain names you type into the IP lookup or DNS lookup are sent from your browser to public registry and DNS services (RDAP servers of the regional internet registries, Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 resolver and, if that is unreachable, Google Public DNS) only to answer that query. The "What is my IP" page also asks the same resolvers for the hostname of your own address. To show both your IPv4 and IPv6 address, it also asks ipify (api.ipify.org and api6.ipify.org) for the address of the other IP version; ipify only sees your IP address. The port checker connects only to the IP address of your own connection. The speed test transfers test data that is discarded immediately. The "What is my browser" page runs entirely in your browser.

Legal basis: our legitimate interest in providing the tool you asked for and keeping the site secure (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)).

Map

The map on the "What is my IP" page is loaded from OpenStreetMap, which receives your IP address to deliver the map images (see the OpenStreetMap Foundation privacy policy). Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland see the map only after clicking "Show map".

Contact form

When you use the contact form, we receive your name (optional), email address and message by email and use them only to answer you. We delete them when they are no longer needed for that, at the latest 12 months after the conversation ends. The form is protected by Cloudflare Turnstile, which checks technical signals from your browser to tell people from bots (see Turnstile privacy addendum). Legal basis: our legitimate interest in answering you and preventing abuse (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)).

Hosting and logs

The site is served by Cloudflare, Inc., which processes connection data (such as IP addresses) on our behalf to deliver and protect the service, as described in Cloudflare's privacy policy. We do not run our own access logs or analytics.

Advertising and cookies

IPNetKit sets no cookies of its own. We show ads served by Google AdSense; Google and its partners may use cookies or similar identifiers to serve and measure ads, including ads based on your visits to this and other websites. Learn more in How Google uses information from sites that use its services.

European Economic Area, United Kingdom and Switzerland: a consent message certified by Google (IAB Transparency & Consent Framework) asks for your choice before advertising cookies or personalised ads are used. You can change your choice at any time through the privacy settings link shown by that message. Legal basis: your consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)).
United States: residents of California and other states with consumer privacy laws can opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information for targeted advertising through the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link our consent tool shows in those states.
Everywhere: you can turn off personalised ads in Google Ads Settings or, for many vendors, at aboutads.info and youronlinechoices.eu.

The IP lookup keeps a copy of the public registry directory in your browser's session storage to answer faster; it contains no personal data and disappears when you close the tab.

Do Not Track

There is no common standard for browser "Do Not Track" signals, so the site does not change its behaviour when it receives one. IPNetKit itself does not track you across websites; advertising follows the choices you make in the tools above.

International transfers

Cloudflare and Google are based in the United States. Transfers of personal data from the EEA, UK and Switzerland to them rely on the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (and its UK and Swiss extensions) and on standard contractual clauses.

Retention

We do not keep personal data from the tools. Data processed by Cloudflare, Google or OpenStreetMap is kept according to their own policies linked above.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct or delete your personal data, to restrict or object to its processing, to data portability, and to withdraw consent at any time without affecting earlier processing (GDPR and UK GDPR); to know, delete and opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, without discrimination (CCPA/CPRA and similar US state laws); and the equivalent rights under Brazil's LGPD. Because we do not keep personal data from the tools, there is normally nothing for us to retrieve, but we will answer every request sent to contact (at) ipnetkit.com within 30 days.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection authority, such as the authority in your EU country, the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) or Brazil's ANPD.

Children

The site is not directed to children under 13 (under 16 in the EEA) and we do not knowingly collect their data.

Changes

We will update this page if our practices change; the date above shows the latest version.
