Privacy Policy

Who is responsible for this site

IPRevealed is the public-facing name of the operator of this website. The operator determines how information submitted through the site is processed. Privacy enquiries and requests concerning personal information may be sent to privacy@iprevealed.com.

Scope of this policy

This policy applies to:

• iprevealed.com
• Enquiries submitted through the Contact form
• Infrastructure and security processing carried out to operate the site
• Future diagnostic functionality, once explicitly enabled

Links on this site may lead to third-party websites. Those websites operate under their own privacy policies, which IPRevealed does not control.

Information currently processed

Information submitted through Contact

• Name, which is optional
• Email address
• Selected topic
• Subject
• Message

Technical request information

• IP address
• Request time
• Requested URL
• Response status
• Browser or user-agent information, where recorded at the infrastructure level
• Security and rate-limiting metadata, described further under Contact form processing

Administrative information

Authenticated WordPress administrators use standard login and security cookies necessary to manage the site. Ordinary visitors browsing the site anonymously do not receive administrator cookies.

Why information is processed

• To deliver the website to visitors
• To respond to enquiries submitted through the Contact form
• To investigate technical feedback
• To handle privacy or security-related requests
• To prevent spam and abuse of the Contact form
• To maintain the security and availability of the site
• To meet legal obligations, where applicable

IPRevealed does not currently send marketing communications of any kind, and this policy will be updated if that changes.

Legal grounds

Depending on the specific processing activity and the visitor’s jurisdiction, IPRevealed relies on one or more of the following grounds:

• Processing necessary to respond to a visitor’s request, such as replying to a Contact submission
• Legitimate interests in operating, securing and maintaining the website
• Compliance with a legal obligation, where one applies
• Consent, only where consent is genuinely and separately requested

Standard server logging, described later in this policy, is not based on consent. It is a necessary part of operating the website and instead relies on legitimate interest and, where applicable, legal obligation. The specific legal basis that applies to any given processing activity may depend on the visitor’s jurisdiction.

Contact form processing

This section describes the Contact form as it is actually implemented.

Server logs and security

Like virtually all websites, iprevealed.com runs on hosting and caching infrastructure that automatically records standard technical request information. IPRevealed does not claim that zero logging occurs. These records may include the visitor’s IP address, request timestamp, requested URL, response status and, where captured at the infrastructure level, browser user-agent information.

These logs may be used for:

• Security
• Abuse prevention
• Error diagnosis
• Service availability

The site also uses a caching layer (LiteSpeed Cache) to serve pages efficiently; this may create its own short-lived operational records as a normal part of server operation. These logs are retained by the hosting provider according to its operational, security and backup schedules, and removed or overwritten in accordance with those schedules.

Cookies and similar technologies

As verified when this policy was last updated, browsing iprevealed.com anonymously does not set any cookies.

• If a WordPress administrator logs in to manage the site, WordPress sets standard login and session cookies necessary for that authenticated session. Ordinary visitors do not receive these.
• Comments are not currently used or displayed anywhere on the site. If comments are enabled in the future, WordPress’s standard behavior would apply: a cookie would only be set if a commenter chooses to have their name and email remembered for future comments.
• No analytics, advertising, or consent-management cookies are currently installed or active.

This section must be updated before analytics, advertising, consent-management or personalization technologies are enabled.

Diagnostic information

At the date of this policy, the full public connection diagnostic described elsewhere on the site is not enabled.

Ordinary server infrastructure still receives the visitor’s public IP address as a normal, unavoidable part of any web request, regardless of whether a dedicated diagnostic feature is active.

Before a real diagnostic feature is launched, this policy must be updated to document:

• The signals processed
• Any APIs and data providers involved
• Retention
• Storage
• Sharing
• Any automated classifications performed
• Controls available to visitors

Sharing and service providers

IPRevealed does not sell personal information. Depending on the processing activity, information may be shared with the following categories of recipients:

• Hosting infrastructure necessary to operate the website
• Email delivery infrastructure used to transmit Contact form notifications
• Security and operational service providers involved in running the site
• Professional advisers, where necessary
• Public authorities, where legally required

This policy does not claim that information is never shared under any circumstance. Sharing is limited to the categories above, for the purposes described in this policy.

International processing

No conclusion about international-transfer safeguards is made until the relevant locations and arrangements have been verified.

Retention

The table below sets out, for each category of information described in this policy, how long it is kept.

Privacy rights

Depending on the law that applies to you, you may have rights that can include:

• Access
• Correction
• Erasure
• Restriction
• Objection
• Portability, where applicable
• Withdrawal of consent, where processing relies on consent
• The right to lodge a complaint with a competent supervisory authority

The specific supervisory authority you may contact, and the process for exercising these rights, depends on the law that applies to you. To exercise any of these rights, use the privacy contact details in the final section of this policy.

Security

IPRevealed applies a number of reasonable technical safeguards, including:

• HTTPS encryption for all traffic
• Restricted, credential-protected administrative access
• Security response headers, including protections against content-type sniffing and clickjacking
• Restriction of anonymous access to certain WordPress API endpoints
• Restriction of legacy remote-publishing access
• Server-side input validation on the Contact form
• Rate limiting on the Contact form to reduce automated abuse
• Regular backups and software updates

No website can guarantee absolute security. This policy intentionally does not describe the site’s specific internal defensive configuration.

Children’s information

IPRevealed is a general technical information service and is not designed to intentionally collect personal information from children. Visitors should not submit unnecessary personal or sensitive information through the Contact form.

Changes to this policy

This policy may change as the site evolves, including when:

• Diagnostics launch
• Analytics or advertising is introduced
• Service providers change
• Legal requirements change
• New products, accounts or features are introduced

When this policy changes, IPRevealed commits to updating the “Last updated” date shown at the top of this page.
