IP Lookup & Privacy: What You Can (and Can’t) Infer
IP shows general location and network hints, but not your identity.
An IP lookup should teach—not scare. Show the user’s public IP (from server vars), a rough idea of what IP means, and common misconceptions. Without third-party APIs, you can’t reliably geolocate in a single-file app, and that’s okay: be honest about limits. Provide tips: use a VPN for privacy, prefer HTTPS, and avoid reusing weak Wi-Fi passwords.
Make sure your Privacy Policy explains clearly what you log (or don’t). Trust is a growth feature.
