This Privacy Policy explains how IPv4Scanner ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you use ipv4scanner.com and its tools (IP Location Finder, WHOIS lookup, Internet Speed Test, and related network utilities). By using this website, you agree to the practices described below.
IP address and network data. Our core tools work with IP addresses. When you visit the site, or when you submit an IP address or domain for lookup, that IP address and related technical data (such as approximate geolocation, ISP, and browser user-agent) are processed to return results to you.
Information you provide. If you contact us through a form on the site, we collect the details you submit (such as your name, email address, and message) so we can respond.
Usage and log data. Like most websites, our servers may automatically record standard log information such as IP address, browser type, pages visited, and timestamps for security and diagnostic purposes.
We use the information above to provide and operate the site's lookup tools, to respond to enquiries you send us, to maintain security and prevent abuse, and to understand and improve how the site is used.
To deliver results, some tools send the IP address or domain you query to trusted third-party data providers — including our IP geolocation provider and our WHOIS data provider — who process that data to return the lookup results. These providers handle data under their own privacy policies. We do not sell your personal information.
The site uses a small number of cookies. Some are essential: a theme preference, and the security token that protects forms. We also use Google Analytics to understand which pages and tools are used, which sets its own cookies.
When advertising is enabled, ads are served by Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info/choices. In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, personalised ads are shown only with your consent, collected through Google's consent message. More detail on how Google uses information from sites that use its services is at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings.
If you comment on a blog post, we store the name and message you submit, and your email address if you give one (it is never published). Comments are reviewed before they appear. To limit abuse, comments and like/dislike votes are linked to a salted one-way hash of your IP address rather than the address itself.
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to provide the service, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Server logs are kept for a limited period and then deleted or anonymised.
Depending on where you live (for example, under the EU/UK GDPR or the CCPA), you may have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, or to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below.
This site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
