This Privacy Policy ("Policy") explains the information collection, use, and sharing practices of IP Tracker ("we," "us," and "our") with respect to your use of the IP Tracker browser extension and our related services ("Services").
Before you use or submit any information through or in connection with the Services, please carefully review this Privacy Policy. By installing or using any part of the Services, you understand that your information will be collected, used, and disclosed as outlined in this Privacy Policy.
If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, please do not use the Services.
IP Tracker has designed this Policy to be consistent with the following principles:
IP Tracker does not require an account, sign-in, or registration. We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, mailing addresses, payment information, or demographic data through the extension. The only information you actively provide is the IP address or domain you choose to look up.
When you perform a lookup, the extension sends the address or domain you entered (or that you selected via the right-click menu) to our Cloudflare Worker backend. That value is the only thing transmitted from the extension to our servers.
We do not automatically collect or transmit:
To enforce our free-tier daily lookup limit (25 lookups per user
per day), each install generates a random UUID and stores it
locally using chrome.storage.local on your device.
This identifier:
You can reset this identifier by clearing the extension's storage in Chrome settings or by uninstalling and reinstalling the extension.
The IP Tracker browser extension does not use cookies, tracking pixels, web beacons, clear GIFs, or any other tracking technologies. Our marketing website (iptracker.work) may use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which is cookieless and reports only aggregated, anonymous traffic counts. No cross-site or cross-session identifiers are set.
We do not collect information about you from public sources, social media platforms, data brokers, or marketing firms.
We use the information we collect from you only to:
We do not use your information for advertising, marketing emails, profiling, machine learning training, or sale to third parties. We do not maintain user profiles.
Our backend queries the following services to assemble lookup results. Each receives only the specific value (address or domain) you looked up — never your anonymous identifier or any other information about you:
Our backend runs on Cloudflare Workers. Cloudflare may process technical metadata (request timing, IP addresses for DDoS protection) under its own privacy policy.
We may disclose information if required to do so by law or on a good-faith belief that disclosure is reasonably necessary to: (a) comply with legal process; (b) enforce our terms of service; (c) respond to your support requests; or (d) protect the rights, property, or personal safety of IP Tracker, our users, or the public. Because we retain almost no information, there is very little we could disclose even if compelled.
If IP Tracker is acquired by or merged with another entity, your information (limited as described above) may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will provide notice via the Chrome Web Store listing before any such transfer takes effect.
We may share aggregate or de-identified information that cannot be reasonably used to identify you — for example, total daily lookup counts across all users — for analytics or operational purposes.
To the extent the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), UK GDPR, or similar laws apply, our legal grounds for processing information are:
The IP Tracker browser extension does not use any analytics services (no Google Analytics, no Mixpanel, no Segment, no equivalent). The marketing website at iptracker.work may use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which is cookieless, aggregated, and does not track individual users across sessions.
We do not send marketing emails because we do not collect email addresses. There is nothing to unsubscribe from.
Individuals in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and other jurisdictions with similar laws have rights (subject to applicable exceptions and limitations) to:
To exercise these rights, please email us at [email protected]. Because we do not associate your anonymous identifier with any directly identifying information, we may not be able to locate records specific to you — but we will respond promptly to all good-faith requests.
Cloudflare Workers process requests on a global edge network, which means your lookup may be served by a Cloudflare data center outside your country of residence. Cloudflare maintains appropriate safeguards for international data transfers (Standard Contractual Clauses, etc.). Third-party intelligence services listed above each maintain their own international transfer practices, described in their respective privacy policies.
We have implemented technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of your information. Specifically:
However, no internet transmission or electronic storage system can be completely secure, so we cannot guarantee that every unauthorized access attempt will fail.
The Services are intended for users over the age of 18 and are not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 (as defined by the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) or from children under the age of 16 (as defined by GDPR). If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected such information, we will take reasonable steps to delete it as soon as practicable.
We do not log or store the lookups you perform. Each request is processed and discarded.
The daily lookup counter (your anonymous identifier paired with a count for the current day) is stored briefly in Cloudflare KV and expires automatically at midnight UTC. Nothing about a previous day is kept.
The Services may contain links to third-party websites, such as the "View full report" link to Censys, and links to the privacy policies of upstream intelligence services. If you choose to visit those sites, your interaction with them is governed by their own privacy policies, not this one. We encourage you to review the privacy practices of any third-party site you visit.
We will continue to evaluate this Privacy Policy as the extension evolves, and we may make changes accordingly. We will post any changes here and revise the "Last Updated" date above. Material changes will be noted in the Chrome Web Store listing release notes for the affected version.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or our privacy practices, please contact us at [email protected].
