Information used to provide the service
Your public IP address reaches our hosting and delivery infrastructure when you visit. Lookup tools process the IP address, domain name or port you submit. Search values can appear in page URLs, browser history and server or delivery-provider logs. Do not submit confidential information.
IP and blacklist lookups
The home page may send your detected public IP address to ipwho.is to retrieve approximate location and network details when no usable cached result is available. Manual IP lookups send the address you enter. Blacklist Check sends the searched IPv4 address to BlacklistMaster when a fresh result is needed.
DNS and registration lookups
DNS tools use the server DNS resolver. DNS Propagation compares Google and Cloudflare resolver responses. WHOIS and RDAP query registration services selected using IANA bootstrap data. The relevant resolver or registry receives the query needed to provide its result. Port Checker attempts a TCP connection to the requested address and port from our server.
Usage limits and monitoring
Rate limits use identifiers derived from visitor IP addresses. Hashing is a protective measure, not a guarantee of anonymity. Tool activity reports contain aggregate request, success, failure and cache counts. Administrator Telegram notifications report service usage and errors. They are not visitor subscriptions.
Cookies and local browser information
The theme preference is stored in your browser using local storage. Administrator sign-in uses a session cookie. Browser Info reads browser-reported device, display and language details locally; its page view is counted, but the displayed details are not submitted by that tool. Hosting and security services may process request metadata or set cookies for their services.
Caching and retention
Results are cached to reduce repeated requests and provider usage. Current freshness windows include 48 hours for IP metadata, 24 hours for blacklist results and 10 minutes for Website to IP. These windows determine reuse, not automatic deletion deadlines. Expired files may remain until replaced or removed. Tool summaries retain up to 30 recorded days; blacklist usage retains up to 12 recorded months. Hosting logs and backups have separate retention settings.
Providers and international processing
The site uses hosting infrastructure, Cloudflare delivery and security, and the lookup services described above. Providers may process data in countries other than your own under their policies. Following an external link takes you to a service with its own privacy practices.
Your choices and requests
You can clear the theme preference through browser storage settings and choose which values to submit. For questions about information relating to you, use our Contact page. Depending on the law that applies, you may have rights to access, correct, erase or restrict personal data, object to processing, and complain to a relevant data protection authority.
Contact messages
The contact form sends your name, reply email and message to the site administrator through Resend. Resend and the receiving email provider process the message for delivery and storage. The form uses a temporary session cookie to protect submissions and IP-derived identifiers to limit spam. Messages are handled in mailboxes and mail-system logs; the form does not create a separate message archive in the website database. Correspondence is used to respond to your request and address related service issues.
Changes to this policy
We will update this page when our services or data practices change. Analytics has not been added as part of this release. The policy will be reviewed before planned analytics integration.
