WhatsMyIPAddress.eu - Privacy-First IP Detection

Our Privacy-First Commitment

WhatsMyIPAddress.eu is built with privacy as the foundation. We believe your IP address and browsing habits are private information that should remain yours alone.

What We Do NOT Collect

• We do not log IP addresses - Your IP is detected, displayed, and immediately forgotten
• We do not use cookies - No tracking cookies, session cookies, or any cookies whatsoever
• We do not use analytics - No Google Analytics, no visitor tracking, no behavioral analysis
• We do not store personal data - No databases, no user accounts, no data retention
• We do not use external CDNs - All code is self-hosted to prevent data leakage
• We do not share data - There's no data to share because we don't collect any

How Our Service Works

1. Your browser makes a request to our EU-based servers
2. Our server detects your IP address from HTTP headers
3. The IP address is immediately displayed to you
4. No data is logged, stored, or transmitted anywhere else
5. The IP address exists only in your browser's memory

EU Infrastructure & Data Residency

Our service is hosted entirely within the European Union on Scaleway's infrastructure in France. This ensures:

• Full GDPR compliance by design
• EU data residency for any temporary processing
• Protection under European privacy laws
• No data transfers to third countries

Technical Implementation

Our privacy-first approach is implemented through:

• No-logging architecture - Application code has no logging of IP addresses
• Minimal infrastructure logs - Server access logs are minimized and automatically deleted
• In-memory processing - IP detection happens entirely in server memory
• No external dependencies - All JavaScript and CSS are self-hosted inline
• Security headers - Comprehensive security headers prevent data leakage

Your Rights Under GDPR

Since we don't collect or store any personal data, most GDPR rights are not applicable. However:

• Right to be informed - This privacy policy explains our practices
• Right to object - Simply don't use our service if you object to IP detection
• Data portability - Not applicable as we store no data
• Right to deletion - Not applicable as we store no data

Changes to This Policy

Any changes to this privacy policy will be posted on this page. The current version is effective as of December 2024. Given our no-data approach, changes will be minimal and primarily for clarity.
