Privacy Policy

Depending on how you use the site, we may collect:

• Technical data such as IP address, browser and device details, referrer, timestamps, and similar request metadata.
• Usage and interaction data measured through Google Analytics, Vercel Analytics, and event tracking used to understand how tools and pages are used.
• For the page view and online-user counters, our server turns your IP address and browser type into a one-way hashed key. The hash uses a random value that changes every day and is held only in server memory, so the key cannot be turned back into your IP or linked across days. The key is kept for one minute, so a reload is not counted twice, or for about ten minutes for the online count. The raw IP is not stored, and the counters save nothing in your browser.
• Lookup inputs you submit, such as IP addresses, domain names, hostnames, ASN values, MAC prefixes, or similar query data needed to return results.
• Contact form data including name, email address, subject, message, optional screenshot attachment, and anti-spam captcha data.

We do not require account registration to use the public site and do not maintain a member profile system for normal browsing.

Many pages on IP Trackers work by taking the value you enter and querying public internet records or upstream data providers.

• Queries may pass through our server-side API routes and, when needed, to external DNS, WHOIS, blacklist, routing, proxy, geolocation, or similar providers.
• Returned results often reflect public or partner-supplied network data rather than data from a private user account.
• To avoid repeating identical upstream requests, our servers keep recent lookup results in memory for about five minutes. Lookup results are not saved to a database or tied to a user profile.
• Please do not submit passwords, payment information, or other secrets in lookup fields or support messages.

We use information to operate and improve the site, including to:

• Render pages and return lookup results.
• Detect abuse, apply rate limits, troubleshoot failures, and maintain service security.
• Measure traffic, understand which tools are useful, and improve navigation and content quality.
• Serve and measure advertising, including Google AdSense when enabled in production.
• Respond to support requests, bug reports, and legal or policy inquiries.

We and our service providers may use cookies, web beacons, local storage, IP addresses, and similar identifiers to operate the site, measure performance, and support advertising.

• Google Analytics and Vercel Analytics store analytics cookies and identifiers only after you allow analytics. If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, nothing is stored until you opt in. Elsewhere, analytics is on by default and you can switch it off at any time using the Cookie settings link in the footer.
• Where you have not allowed analytics, measurement still runs in a cookieless mode: aggregate events are counted without setting a cookie, writing an identifier, or recognizing you across visits. Dynamic IP-result paths are redacted from page-view and engagement event paths, and query strings are removed from analytics page URLs.
• If you allow analytics and arrive through a tagged campaign, we may keep its UTM source, medium, campaign, content, and term in session storage until you close the browser tab. This helps us measure which campaigns lead to outbound affiliate clicks. We discard campaign values that do not match our restricted label format.
• Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies (including the DoubleClick DART cookie) to serve ads on IP Trackers based on your prior visits to this site and other sites on the internet. Google AdSense and its partners may also use web beacons and IP addresses to serve and measure ads on eligible pages.
• Third-party advertising partners in the Google ad network may also set and read their own cookies to personalize and measure ads, subject to their own privacy policies.
• Some commercial pages contain affiliate links. If you click one, the destination merchant or affiliate partner may receive referral information. Our CTA view and click measurements may include the provider, page, link placement, sanitized page path, location and title, a sanitized referrer, and the campaign labels described above. In Google-managed consent mode, these business events may be sent as cookieless pings while analytics storage remains denied. Same-site referrer paths may be retained, while external referrers are reduced to their origin. Supported affiliate links also receive sanitized page and placement labels plus a new random click ID so an approved sale can be reconciled with its outbound click. The random ID does not contain account, contact, IP, or diagnostic-tool input data.
• If you allow analytics, we load AnyTrack to measure which pages and placements lead to affiliate sales. It stores a first-party cookie named _atcid holding a random click identifier, adds that identifier to supported affiliate links so an approved sale can be matched back to the click that produced it, and reports confirmed sales to our advertising accounts. It does not load, and sets nothing, until analytics is allowed.
• The Google Ads tag measures which of our Google ads lead to visits and partner sales. It follows the same analytics choice: in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland it stores no advertising cookies until you opt in, and it is never used there for ad personalization. Elsewhere it runs by default, and switching analytics off in Cookie settings stops its cookies too.

You can learn more about Google's data practices here: How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings, or opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting aboutads.info / NAI.

Users in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland may also be asked for consent before cookies or local storage are used for advertising, analytics, or ad personalization where required by law. If you reject personalized ads, Google may still serve non-personalized ads that use limited data for frequency capping, aggregated reporting, and fraud prevention.

You can manage cookies through your browser settings and, where a consent banner is shown, through the choices offered on that banner. Blocking some cookies may affect analytics, ad delivery, or site functionality.

IP Trackers works with Newor Media, an advertising management company, to sell ad space on the site. When Newor Media ads run on a page, Newor Media and the advertising partners listed in our ads.txt file may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses, and similar identifiers to serve, measure, and personalize ads, as described in the section above.

For details on how Newor Media handles data, see its privacy policy.

Depending on the page or feature used, data may be processed by:

• Google AdSense and Newor Media for ad serving and related measurement, on pages where ads run.
• Google Analytics for traffic and event measurement.
• Google Ads for measuring our own ad campaigns.
• AnyTrack for affiliate click and sale attribution.
• Railway for hosting and Cloudflare for network delivery and security, both of which keep standard request logs, plus Vercel Analytics where it is enabled.
• hCaptcha for contact form spam prevention.
• Resend for contact form email delivery.
• OpenSpeedTest for the optional internet speed test. Its widget loads only after you choose to start it and may receive your IP or proxy IP, ISP, browser, device type, operating system, referrer, and test measurements under its privacy policy.
• External lookup and data providers used to resolve DNS, WHOIS, proxy, blacklist, IP intelligence, routing, or similar requests.

These providers may process information in countries other than your own under their own privacy notices and contractual terms.

• Contact submissions may be kept as long as needed to reply, investigate issues, maintain records, or comply with legal obligations.
• Operational logs, analytics records, and anti-abuse data may be retained for security, debugging, and measurement purposes. Request logs at our hosting and network providers include IP addresses and requested paths, which can include an IP address or domain you looked up.
• We use reasonable safeguards, but no website, transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed 100% secure.
• If you want to ask about access, correction, or deletion of personal data you submitted directly to us, contact us at uzun.tudor@ip-trackers.com or use the contact page.
• EEA, UK, and Swiss users may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or objection where those rights apply. You may also opt out of personalized ads through Google's Ads Settings or the cookie choices available in your browser or on this site.
• California users may request access, deletion, correction, and opt-out rights under the CCPA/CPRA where applicable. We do not sell personal information for money. Some advertising or analytics cookies may be considered "sharing" under California law, and you can opt out by using the ad and cookie controls described in this policy or by contacting us.
• This site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children through the public site.

We may update this policy from time to time. The latest version is the one posted on this page.
