Privacy
ipdex shows you your own network fingerprint, then forgets it. Nothing about your visit is stored.
What we process — transiently
When you load a page, ipdex reads your IP address, network (ASN), approximate location, and browser and device signals, and displays them back to you. These values live only in memory for the duration of the request and are never written to any database, log, or cookie.
Your browser fingerprint score is computed entirely in your browser and is never transmitted to us.
What we never do — the Red Line
No persistent visitor identifier. No cross-session matching. No behavioural capture (typing, cursor, scroll). ipdex is a mirror, not a tracker — it uses the same techniques as trackers for the opposite purpose, and then it forgets.
The one exception
When the DNS-leak tool is enabled, it briefly holds a resolver’s IP address in temporary storage, keyed only by a random token, for at most 60 seconds — then it is gone. This is the single, bounded exception to zero storage. The leak-test service currently ships disabled.
Cookies and local storage
The only thing ipdex stores on your device is your theme preference (light or dark). There are no tracking cookies and no analytics cookies.
Measurement
ipdex measures aggregate traffic — which pages are viewed, and roughly from where — using Cloudflare Web Analytics. It is cookieless: it sets no cookie, writes nothing to your device, and assigns no identifier. It does not fingerprint your browser, does not track you across sessions or sites, and collects no personal data; only aggregate counts are recorded. The Red Line is unchanged.
Advertising (future)
ipdex carries no advertising today, and therefore sets no advertising cookies and shows no consent banner. If advertising is added later, Google AdSense may set advertising cookies; visitors in the EEA and UK will be asked for consent (via Google Consent Mode v2) before any such cookie is set. Google’s advertising policies describe how that data is used.
Data sources and contact
The published encyclopedia is built from open data — IPinfo Lite, PeeringDB, and DB-IP among others (see the Sources page). ipdex.io is operated by DevFlow FZE.
