Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 2026

At GetMyIPAddress (accessible from https://www.getmyipaddress.co.uk), one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document contains detailed types of information that are collected, processed, and recorded by GetMyIPAddress, as well as how we handle, protect, and respect your online data privacy rights.

If you have additional questions or require more information about our Privacy Policy, do not hesitate to contact us via email at [email protected].

1. Information We Process & Technical Telemetry

GetMyIPAddress is designed as a privacy-focused network diagnostic utility. When you load or query our web application, our web servers inspect incoming network packets strictly in real-time to return network diagnostic metrics directly to your screen.

The parameters evaluated during your active web session include:

• Public IP Addresses: Your current Internet Protocol (IPv4 and/or IPv6) assigned to your gateway by your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
• Network Routing Details: Your Autonomous System Number (ASN), ISP name, and approximate coarse location (country, region, and city level derived from public IP lookup databases).
• HTTP Request Headers: Browser user-agent string, device type, operating system version, and system language preferences.

Zero IP Logging Commitment: We process this network telemetry transiently in-memory on our servers. We do not write, log, store, archive, or link your public IP address or geolocation history to any database or profile once your request session is executed.

2. Cookies, Tracking Technologies & Advertising

Like most modern websites, GetMyIPAddress uses essential cookies and similar tracking technologies to ensure optimal performance, enable session management, and support third-party advertising partners.

Google AdSense & DoubleClick DART Cookies

We work with Google AdSense to serve advertisements when you visit our site. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to our website or other websites on the Internet.

• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve targeted ads to our users based on their visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
• Google may use DoubleClick DART cookies or web beacons to analyze traffic trends, aggregate user interaction statistics, and personalize advertising content.
• These third-party ad networks automatically receive your IP address when ad requests take place. Other technologies (such as cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons) may also be used to measure the effectiveness of their advertising campaigns.

3. Controlling & Opting Out of Cookies

You have full control over how cookies are managed on your device. You can choose to disable or selectively turn off our cookies or third-party cookies in your browser settings, or by managing preferences in your internet security software.

4. Third-Party Services, CDNs, & Web Infrastructure

To deliver rapid loading times and protect our platform against distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, GetMyIPAddress utilizes external web infrastructure partners and Content Delivery Networks (CDNs). These infrastructure providers operate as data processors and may evaluate incoming network traffic parameters (such as temporary edge-server request logs containing user-agent strings and requests) solely to detect malicious security threats, optimize routing, and serve static assets efficiently.

5. Data Protection Rights (UK GDPR & EU GDPR)

We want to ensure you are fully aware of all of your data protection rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK Data Protection Law. Every user is entitled to the following rights:

• The Right to Access: You have the right to request copies of your personal data.
• The Right to Rectification: You have the right to request that we correct any information you believe is inaccurate or incomplete.
• The Right to Erasure: You have the right to request that we erase your personal data, under certain conditions.
• The Right to Restrict Processing: You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data.
• The Right to Object: You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data.
• The Right to Data Portability: You have the right to request that we transfer collected data to another organization or directly to you.

Because we do not log or maintain database records linking IP addresses to individual identifiers, we typically do not retain personal identifiable data. However, if you submit a formal request via email, we will respond within 30 days.

6. Children's Privacy Information

Protecting children's privacy online is another priority for us. GetMyIPAddress does not knowingly collect any Personal Identifiable Information from children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in certain European jurisdictions). If you think that your child provided this kind of information on our website, we strongly encourage you to contact us immediately, and we will do our best efforts to promptly remove such information from our records.

7. Links to External Websites

Our Privacy Policy applies solely to GetMyIPAddress. Our site may contain links to external sites (such as social networks or external tools) that are not operated by us. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy and terms of every site you visit, as we have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our legal obligations or system updates. We advise you to review this page periodically for any changes. We will notify users of any modifications by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page with an updated revision date.
