1. Core Principles: Zero IP Retention
At WhatIsMyIP Wiki, we operate under an uncompromising privacy doctrine: We do not record, store, sell, or profile your IP address. Our IP detection and connection diagnostic utilities execute completely client-side via asynchronous queries inside your local web browser.
2. Server Log Policies (Apache Static Hosting)
Our web servers are hosted as a static deployment behind Cloudflare Pages / Apache. We deliberately disable standard combined web access logging for individual user IP lookups:
- Retention Period: 0 seconds for IP lookups. We maintain zero database instances.
- No User Profiling: We never aggregate visitor IPs for commercial retargeting or behavioral ad bidding.
- CDN Edge Telemetry: Cloudflare edge routing complies with strict privacy metrics where client telemetry is discarded or anonymized according to standard RFC compliance.
3. Third-Party Diagnostic Endpoints
When you execute the IP detection tools on our site, your browser queries public discovery APIs directly (such as ipapi.co or cloudflare.com/cdn-cgi/trace) to verify public gateway details. These requests transit between your browser and those respective public endpoints without passing through our own servers.
4. Cookies & Local Storage
We do not deploy intrusive third-party cross-site advertising cookies. We exclusively use browser localStorage for saving non-sensitive UI preferences (such as your chosen display language en / zh). You may clear your browser data at any time without degrading functionality.
5. Commercial Transparency & Affiliate Links
Some product review pages include outbound affiliate links. Clicking an affiliate link navigates you to external third-party merchant sites governed by their own independent privacy terms. We do not transmit any personal identifiers or search logs to these merchants.
