Privacy Policy

packet.guru is built with a “Privacy First” philosophy. We minimize data collection and do not sell personal information.

1. Information We Process

Diagnostic Data

When you use our tools (such as ping or traceroute), we process:

  • Your IP address
  • Target hostnames or addresses

This information is used only to perform the requested operation.

Analytics

We use a self-hosted instance of Umami Analytics:

  • No cookies
  • IP addresses anonymized before storage
  • Used only for aggregated usage statistics

Logs

Server logs are:

  • Retained for up to 14 days
  • Automatically redacted to mask IP addresses
  • Used solely for security monitoring and abuse prevention

2. How We Use Data

We use processed data to:

  • Operate and secure the Service
  • Prevent abuse
  • Maintain performance and reliability
  • Produce anonymized statistics

3. Third-Party Infrastructure Providers

We rely on a limited number of infrastructure providers:

  • Cloudflare — CDN and DDoS protection
  • CARTO / OpenStreetMap — geolocation map rendering

These providers may process technical metadata required to deliver the Service.

4. Data Location

Data may be processed in multiple jurisdictions depending on where infrastructure providers operate.

5. Children’s Privacy

The Service is not intended for children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors.

6. Your Rights

We respect applicable data-protection laws, including GDPR, CCPA, and other applicable local data protection laws.

Because we do not maintain user accounts or persistent personal profiles, we may not be able to identify or retrieve specific data associated with an individual request.

Information about how to contact us regarding privacy is available on the website.

7. International Use

By accessing the Service, you understand that your information may be processed in jurisdictions different from your own.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Continued use of the Service after changes are published constitutes acceptance of the revised version.
