About WhatsMyIP.now
Free IP address tools and practical privacy guides, with clear data handling, sources, and editorial responsibility.
Our Mission
WhatsMyIP.now was built on a simple idea: every internet user should be able to understand and control their digital footprint. We provide free access to IP address information, privacy exposure checks, and educational guides without selling personal data or using behavioural advertising.
The public IP check and most tools work without an account. A free account is required for a small number of abuse-prone or resource-intensive actions, and for optional features such as saved results. We state those requirements before a user submits data.
What We Offer
A full suite of free IP and privacy tools, plus educational content to help you stay safe online.

Why Trust Us?
Privacy is at the core of everything we build. Here are the principles that guide how we operate:
- Open access where practical. The IP check and most tools work without sign-up; gated tools explain the requirement before use.
- No data selling. We do not sell or share your IP address or usage data with third parties.
- Minimal logging. Server logs are retained for a short period solely for abuse prevention and are not used for profiling.
- HTTPS only. All connections to this site are encrypted via TLS.
- Open about limitations. IP geolocation is approximate. We state this clearly on every relevant page.
- No misleading claims. We do not exaggerate risks to sell VPN subscriptions.
