How do you know my IP?

Your browser makes a request to the GeoQ API; the API sees the public IP your traffic comes from and returns details about it. Nothing is stored beyond short-lived, truncated logs — see our privacy policy.

Why does it say I'm on a VPN / datacenter?

If you use a VPN, corporate proxy or cloud connection, your public IP belongs to that network rather than your home ISP. The signals describe the network, not you personally.

Is my IP personal data?

Yes — we treat IP addresses as personal data (PII) and process them accordingly. See our privacy policy.

What you're seeing

The lookup above auto-runs against your own connection via the GeoQ API. The ip field is the public address your traffic appears to come from. The signals describe that network — so if you're on a VPN, a work proxy or a cloud VM, you'll see those flags even though you're a perfectly ordinary human.

IP addresses are personal data. GeoQ keeps only short-lived, truncated/hashed logs and runs stateless lookups — details in our privacy policy.
