What changed, in plain language

How reviews are made

The earlier snapshot of this page had no text, so the entire privacy policy shows up as new rather than as an edit. The policy itself is short and consumer-friendly: freeip.me says it saves no personally identifiable information, uses Google Analytics for aggregate traffic stats only, and disclaims responsibility for sites it links to. The one thing worth noting is that a third party (Google) is involved in the analytics, and the "Cookie Declaration" section is an empty heading with nothing under it.

Changes that may affect you

Google gets a look at your visits through AnalyticsMINOR
DATA SHARING

Even though freeip.me says it keeps only aggregate numbers, running Google Analytics means Google receives data about your visit and handles it under Google's rules, not freeip.me's. The policy does not explain what Google does with it — it just links you to Google's own documents. This is a common and clearly disclosed setup, so the impact is minor, but it does mean a third party is in the picture.

“For further information, refer to the Google Analytics policies:”

What you can do — If you would rather not be counted, use a browser that blocks trackers or install Google's Analytics opt-out add-on.

Cookie section is a heading with no contentMINOR
OTHER

The policy promises a cookie declaration but leaves it blank. That means you cannot tell from this document which cookies the site places, what they do, or how long they stick around — even though Google Analytics normally sets cookies.

“### Cookie Declaration”

What you can do — Ask freeip.me at the contact address in the policy for the cookie list, or check your browser's cookie settings for the site yourself.

Changelog

  1. + ADDEDFull privacy policy text now captured (previous snapshot was empty)

    The prior version we have on file contained no text, so every line here registers as added. This is most likely a capture issue rather than freeip.me rewriting its policy from scratch. Treat the items below as a description of what the policy says today, not as newly imposed terms.

    This privacy policy provides you with general information on how freeip.me collects and uses information.

  2. + ADDEDfreeip.me says it collects no personally identifiable information

    The policy states it keeps only aggregate numbers — how many people visit, where they came from, how long they stay, and what they click. It says it does not store anything that identifies you personally.

    freeip.me does not save **any** personally identifiable information. All data is aggregate data with the sole purpose of measuring traffic to the website (including traffic sources), how long a user visits the site, and interactions taken while visiting.

  3. + ADDEDGoogle Analytics is used for site measurement

    The site uses Google Analytics, which means Google is involved in measuring your visit. The policy points you to Google's own terms and privacy policy for the details instead of explaining them itself.

    For further information, refer to the Google Analytics policies:

  4. + ADDEDNo responsibility for outside websites

    If you click a link that takes you off freeip.me, the site says it is not responsible for what that other website does with any information you give it. It suggests checking that site's own privacy policy.

    freeip.me is in no way responsible for the protection and privacy of any information a user may provide when visiting outside sites.

  5. + ADDEDOne contact point listed for data questions

    An email address (shown through a scrambled link) is given as the controller of all data processed through the site. That is the address to use for privacy questions.

    All data processed through this site is controlled by freeip.me

  6. + ADDED"Cookie Declaration" section is empty

    The policy ends with a heading for a cookie declaration, but nothing is written under it. So there is no actual list of what cookies the site sets or how long they last.
