1. Introduction and Scope

Welcome to MyIP.Tool (accessible at https://bishopmikelowry.com). We are dedicated to providing fast, reliable, and privacy-respecting IP address lookup, network diagnostics, and educational materials. This Privacy Policy governs your use of our website and explains our transparent practices regarding data collection, processing, and disclosure.

2. IP Address Processing & Technical Operation

To deliver our core service—displaying your current public IP address, ISP, and approximate geolocation—our system must receive and handle your IP address. By design of the Internet Protocol suite, whenever your browser communicates with any web server, your public IP address is inherently transmitted as the source address.

Our Zero-Logging Guarantee: We do not store, record, or track your IP address in any persistent database. IP detection occurs in real-time in your browser session and is immediately discarded when you leave the page.

For enhanced geolocation and network information (such as city, country, autonomous system, and timezone), our client-side software interfaces with specialized third-party routing resolvers including:

  • ipwho.is: Provides live geolocation data, organization lookup, and ISP verification under strict HTTPS transport.
  • ipify.org: Provides public IPv4 and IPv6 dual-stack resolution.
  • First-Party Fallback Resolver (/ip.php): Secure server-side validation script hosted directly on our LiteSpeed platform for connection integrity.

3. Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertising

This website may display advertisements served by Google AdSense and third-party advertising partners to support ongoing hosting and development costs. Google and its partner advertising networks adhere to strict advertising standards:

  • Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies (including the DoubleClick / DART cookie) to serve advertisements based on your visit to this website and other websites across the Internet.
  • Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting the Google Ads Settings page.
  • Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.
  • Third-party ad servers or ad networks use technology in their respective advertisements and links that appear on our website, sent directly to your browser. They automatically receive your IP address when this occurs.

4. Cookies and Web Beacons

MyIP.Tool itself does not set proprietary tracking cookies or marketing beacons. Any cookies deployed during your visit originate from essential technical functionality (such as load balancing or session integrity) or certified advertising networks (Google AdSense) as detailed above. You can choose to disable cookies through your individual browser options or via browser privacy extensions.

5. Standard Web Server Log Files

Like almost all web servers worldwide, our hosting environment (Hostinger LiteSpeed Enterprise) maintains standard technical server access logs. These files record non-identifying technical metadata including Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser user-agent, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date/time stamps, referring/exit pages, and click counts. These logs are maintained purely for DDoS mitigation, threat detection, and server health monitoring, and are purged routinely within 30 days.

6. GDPR & CCPA/CPRA Privacy Rights

Whether you reside in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, California, or worldwide, you hold rights over your personal data under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA):

  • Right to Know & Access: You have the right to request confirmation of whether personal data is processed.
  • Right to Deletion: You have the right to request deletion of personal information. Because we maintain no user databases, accounts, or persistent IP logs, we hold zero user dossiers.
  • Right to Opt-Out of Sale: We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for monetary consideration.

7. Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

Our website is directed to the general public, network engineers, and students. We do not knowingly collect or solicit any personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. If you believe your child has submitted personal data to our site, please contact us immediately, and we will promptly remove such records from server logs.
