Privacy policy

How IPFlu handles the information involved in showing you your IP address, browser and device details, and in running this site.

Privacy policy

IPFlu (https://ipflu.com/) is a free set of tools that show you your own IP address, approximate location, ISP, browser, device and display information, detected live from your current connection. This policy explains what happens to information about you while you use the site.

IPFlu is run by an individual, not a registered company. For any privacy question, request, or concern, use the contact form — that is the only contact channel for this site.

What the tools themselves process

To show you your own details, the page reads your IP address and asks your browser for information such as user agent, screen size, color depth, and whether JavaScript, cookies or local storage are enabled. This happens either directly in your browser, or via a short-lived lookup to ip.ipflu.com, ipv4.ipflu.com or ipv6.ipflu.com to determine your IP-based details (location, ISP, ASN, hostname, proxy status). These lookups return your result to display it to you; IPFlu does not keep a log of individual lookups tied to who made them.

Analytics

IPFlu uses Google Analytics 4 to understand aggregate traffic (which pages are visited, roughly how many people visit, and from where). Google Analytics sets cookies and processes information such as your IP address, approximate location, device and browser type, and the pages you view. See Google’s Privacy & Terms for how Google handles this data.

Advertising

IPFlu shows ads served through Google AdSense. If you are in the EEA, UK or Switzerland, a consent dialog (provided by Google’s consent management platform) asks for your choices before any non-essential cookies — including advertising and analytics cookies — are set. Google and its advertising partners may use cookies or similar technology to show ads and measure their performance; this can include building an advertising profile based on your activity across sites that use Google’s services. See Google’s How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services and Ads Privacy pages, and the Cookie policy for the specific cookies involved.

You can review or withdraw your advertising/analytics consent at any time using the consent management link shown by the dialog, or by clearing cookies for this site in your browser.

Contact form

If you use the contact form, IPFlu processes the name, email address, and message you provide, solely to respond to your inquiry. This information is not added to a mailing list — IPFlu does not operate one — and is not used for any purpose other than replying to you.

For visitors in the EEA, UK or Switzerland: analytics and advertising cookies are set only with your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you can withdraw at any time. Responding to messages sent through the contact form relies on legitimate interest in handling the inquiry you initiated (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

You have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of personal data IPFlu holds about you (in practice, this is limited to any message you’ve sent via the contact form, since the tools themselves don’t store identifiable logs), to object to processing, and to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority (in Croatia, AZOP).

International transfers

Google processes some of the data described above outside the EEA. Google’s processing is governed by its own data protection terms, including Standard Contractual Clauses where required; see Google’s privacy policy for details.

Children

IPFlu is not directed at children, and no part of the site is designed to collect information from them.
