Our Commitment to Your Privacy
At PublicIpFinder, we prioritize your data sovereignty above all else. This Privacy Policy explains how our diagnostic tools operate and why your privacy is inherently protected by our architecture.
๐ Zero Data Collection
Our tools function entirely within your local browser session. We do not operate backend servers that collect, store, or process your network diagnostics data. Every test you runโwhether it's checking your IP address, testing network speed, or analyzing privacy settingsโhappens exclusively on your device.
๐ Third-Party API Usage
For IP geolocation data, we utilize the ipapi.co service. When you use the Public IP Information feature, your IP address is sent to ipapi.co to retrieve location data. This is a direct browser-to-API request; we do not act as an intermediary. Please refer to ipapi.co's privacy policy for their data handling practices.
๐ซ No Tracking or Analytics
We do not use cookies, analytics platforms (like Google Analytics), or any tracking scripts. We have no visibility into your browsing behavior, which pages you visit within our tool, or how frequently you use our services. Your usage is completely anonymous to us.
๐พ Local Storage Usage
Our application may use browser localStorage exclusively to remember your theme preference (light or dark mode). This data never leaves your device and can be cleared at any time through your browser settings. No personal or diagnostic data is stored locally.
๐ Security Best Practices
All diagnostic tests are performed using client-side JavaScript. We encourage HTTPS-only connections to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks. While the diagnostic data is processed in your browser, ensure you're accessing our tool from the legitimate source to avoid compromised versions.
๐ง Contact Form Data
If you submit information through our contact form, that data is processed solely for the purpose of responding to your inquiry. We do not share, sell, or use your contact information for marketing purposes. Contact submissions are handled securely and deleted after resolution of your inquiry.
๐ International Users
Since all processing happens in your browser, there are no cross-border data transfers to worry about. Your diagnostic data remains in your jurisdiction. Our static website can be accessed globally without any region-specific data collection or processing.
๐ Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or for legal compliance. The "Last Updated" date at the top indicates when the most recent changes were made. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
โ
Your Rights
Since we don't collect personal data, there's no data to access, modify, or delete. You maintain complete control over any diagnostic information generated during your session. You can clear your browser cache and localStorage at any time to remove all traces of our application.
๐ Questions About Privacy
If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or concerns about how your data is handled, please contact us through our Contact page. We're committed to transparency and will respond to all privacy-related inquiries promptly.
๐ก Bottom Line
Your privacy is not a featureโit's our foundation. We built PublicIpFinder to give you network diagnostics without sacrificing your privacy. What happens in your browser, stays in your browser.
