MyIPShow is a one-person site, built and run by me, Pavel Ahmed, in Kushtia, Bangladesh. People reasonably ask whether a site that shows your IP address is safe to use, so this page answers that in plain language. It is a summary of the Privacy Policy and the Cookie Policy, which remain the full and binding versions.
The Short Answer
MyIPShow needs no account, does not sell personal data and does not keep a database of what you look up. To return a result, it does pass what you type to the services that can answer it, and it runs Google Analytics and Google AdSense only after you accept the cookie notice.
Safe here does not mean invisible. Any website you visit can see your IP address, and the third parties listed below see the requests they handle. What follows is exactly who sees what.
On this page
What Data Does MyIPShow Collect?
Two kinds of information reach the site, and neither needs an account.
• Information you choose to send. If you use the Contact page, I receive the name, email address and message you enter. The short message box in the footer sends only the message text, with no name or email, so I cannot reply to it. Both forms are delivered by FormSubmit, a third-party form service.
• Information every website receives. When a page loads, the services that deliver it, including Google (which hosts the site on Blogger) and Cloudflare (which serves and protects the domain), receive your IP address, your browser's user agent string, the referring URL and request timestamps. They also derive an approximate location from your IP address.
What Does MyIPShow Not Collect or Store?
• No accounts. I never ask for a name, an email address or a password to use any tool.
• No database of your lookups. The address, domain or URL you enter is used to produce that one result. I do not keep a record of it, and it is not linked to your identity or used to build a profile of you.
• No sale of personal data. Personal information is not sold, rented or traded, and MyIPShow does not sell or share it as defined under the CCPA/CPRA.
• No server-side speed test results. The Internet Speed Test shows your result in your browser and does not store it on a server.
• No server copy of your recent checks. Your recent checks on the tool pages, your saved guides and your recent site searches live in your own browser's local storage and are never sent to me. Your light or dark theme choice is also kept in a small first-party cookie, which your browser sends along with page requests, but it holds nothing except the word light or dark.
One detail worth knowing: the result for an address you look up is held in Cloudflare's edge cache for a few hours, so that repeating the same lookup is instant. That stored copy is the answer about the address and contains nothing about who asked for it. Your own connection's details are never cached.
Where Does What You Type Into a Tool Go?
To return a result, most tools have to send your input to a service that can answer it. This table lists each tool and where that input goes.
| Tool | Where your input goes | Kept by MyIPShow? |
|---|---|---|
| IP Check, IP Lookup, Proxy Check, VPN Check | The address goes to Cloudflare Radar (network details, queried through MyIPShow's own Cloudflare account) and to ipwho.is (city, region, timezone and coordinates). |
No |
| Your own IP on the home page | Read from Cloudflare's data about your request by a Cloudflare Worker that I run. No outside service is involved, and the answer is never cached. | No |
| DNS Lookup | The domain you type goes to Google Public DNS (dns.google) over an encrypted connection. The All types option sends eight queries instead of one. |
No |
| Robots.txt Analyzer | The file is fetched from the site you name. If that site refuses a direct read, the request is retried once through the AllOrigins relay (api.allorigins.win), which then sees the address. A file you paste in yourself is read in your browser and sent nowhere. |
No |
| Ping Tool | Timing requests go from your browser straight to the host you typed, which sees your IP as on any visit. Google's public DNS (dns.google) also sees the name you typed. |
No |
| Internet Speed Test | Data is transferred between your browser and MyIPShow's own test server (speed.myipshow.com). If it cannot be reached, the page tries the same server's backup address on Cloudflare Workers, and then Cloudflare's public endpoint (speed.cloudflare.com). Whichever answers sees your IP and the transfer. Your network's name and approximate location come from MyIPShow's own lookup service (ip.myipshow.com). |
No result is stored |
| User Agent Check | Reads the user agent your own browser reports. No external request at all. | No |
Which Cookies and Ads Run, and When?
A cookie notice appears on your first visit, and nothing non-essential is set until you choose. The site is free and is funded by Google AdSense advertising.
• Always active (essential): Cloudflare's __cf_bm bot-protection cookie, which lasts 30 minutes; your theme choice, kept in your browser's local storage and in a first-party cookie called myipshow-theme that lasts one year; and your cookie choice, kept in local storage.
• Essential, only when you use the feature: recent checks on the tool pages, saved guides, recent site searches and a closed install banner are remembered in your browser's local storage. A page opened with ?embed in its address also keeps a flag for the visit in session storage. None of these are written until you do the thing that triggers them.
• Only after Accept All: Google Analytics cookies (_ga and _gid) that count visits in aggregate, and Google AdSense cookies (IDE and NID) used for advertising.
• After Reject Non-Essential: no Google Analytics or AdSense cookies are stored on your device.
• Changing your mind: the Cookie Settings button in the footer reopens the notice at any time.
The full list, with the exact name and lifetime of every item, is in the Cookie Policy.
Which Third Parties Are Involved?
• Google hosts the site on Blogger, runs Analytics, serves AdSense ads and answers the DNS queries from the DNS Lookup and Ping Tool through dns.google. See the Google Privacy Policy.
• Cloudflare serves and protects the domain, runs the Worker behind the IP tools and the speed test server, and provides Cloudflare Radar. See the Cloudflare Privacy Policy.
• FormSubmit delivers the Contact form and the footer message box. See FormSubmit.
• ipwho.is and AllOrigins answer specific tool requests, as shown in the table above.
Because these providers operate globally, data may be processed in countries other than your own.
What Can MyIPShow Not Promise?
• How third parties handle data. Google, Cloudflare, FormSubmit, ipwho.is and AllOrigins follow their own policies, not mine. I can describe what is sent to them, but I cannot control what they do with it.
• Your IP address stays visible elsewhere. Every website you visit, including the host you type into the Ping Tool, can see your IP address. MyIPShow shows you that address, and it does not hide it.
• Exact locations. An IP location is an estimate drawn from network records, not GPS, so treat city-level results as approximate.
• A fixed policy. If a new tool or service is added, the policies are updated first and the date at the top of each page changes.
How Can You Check This Yourself?
• Watch the network requests. Open your browser's developer tools, switch to the Network tab and run any tool. You will see the exact services your input is sent to, matching the table above.
• Inspect the cookies. In the same developer tools, open Application, then Cookies, before and after choosing Reject Non-Essential. Local Storage sits in the same panel.
• Read the source documents. The Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy are the full versions of everything summarized here.
• Ask me. Use the Contact page or email myipshowofficial@gmail.com.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does MyIPShow store my IP address?
MyIPShow does not keep a database of the addresses or domains you look up, and it does not link lookups to your identity. Like any website, the services that deliver the page, Google and Cloudflare, receive your IP address as part of the request, and Google Analytics data is held by Google under its own retention settings.
Do I need an account to use MyIPShow?
No. Every tool works without a name, an email address or a password.
Does MyIPShow sell my data?
No. MyIPShow does not sell, rent or trade personal information, and it does not sell or share it as those terms are defined under the CCPA/CPRA.
Who else receives what I type into a MyIPShow tool?
It depends on the tool. IP Check, IP Lookup, Proxy Check and VPN Check send the address to Cloudflare Radar and ipwho.is. DNS Lookup sends the domain to Google Public DNS. The Robots.txt Analyzer fetches the site you name and may retry through the AllOrigins relay. The Ping Tool contacts the host you typed and asks Google's public DNS. The Internet Speed Test uses MyIPShow's own test server, with a backup address on Cloudflare Workers, and falls back to Cloudflare's public speed test. The User Agent Check makes no external request.
Does MyIPShow use cookies?
Yes, but non-essential cookies are only set after you accept the cookie notice. Essential items are your theme choice, your cookie choice, small features you use such as saved guides and recent checks, which stay in your browser, and Cloudflare's bot protection cookie. Analytics cookies from Google Analytics and advertising cookies from Google AdSense stay off if you choose Reject Non-Essential.
How do I turn off analytics and advertising cookies?
Choose Reject Non-Essential on the cookie notice, or reopen the notice at any time with the Cookie Settings button in the footer. You can also block or delete cookies for the site in your browser settings.
In Summary
MyIPShow asks for no account, keeps no database of your lookups and does not sell personal data. It shares what you type only with the services needed to answer it, and it sets analytics and advertising cookies only if you accept them. Questions are welcome on the Contact page.
