What this site does with your data
When you open the page, your browser asks our server what it can see about your connection: your IP address, approximate location, network provider and connection type. It comes straight back to you and isn’t stored or logged. To show both your IPv4 and IPv6 address, your browser also asks ipify.org, a free public service, which sees your IP address the same way any website does. The VPN leak test asks a public STUN server (Google’s) for your address, as video-calling sites do. Nothing on this page is saved anywhere except in your own browser.
Analytics
We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count visits. It does not use cookies, does not track you across sites and does not collect personal data. It records things like the page viewed, the referring site, the country and the type of browser.
Advertising
This site shows ads from Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies to show ads based on your previous visits to this and other websites. You will be asked for consent before any personalised advertising cookies are set, and you can change your choice at any time from the privacy link Google shows on the page.
You can manage personalised ads in Google’s ad settings and read how Google uses data from partner sites.
Affiliate links
Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you buy through one we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate links are labelled where they appear.
Your rights
Under UK GDPR you can ask what data is held about you and ask for it to be deleted. As this site holds no personal data itself, requests about advertising data should go to Google. For anything else, email [email protected].
