Privacy Policy
BulkIPLab is committed to protecting your privacy and operating with complete transparency. We understand that security professionals and researchers need assurance that their threat intelligence activities remain confidential. This Privacy Policy explains exactly how we handle your data, what we collect, and what we absolutely do not do.
Core Privacy Principles
- Zero Data Retention: We do not store your IP addresses, file hashes, analysis queries, or results on our servers
- No User Profiling: We do not create user profiles, track your identity, or build behavioral profiles
- No Cross-Site Tracking: We do not track your activity across other websites or services
- No Data Sales: We categorically do not sell, trade, or share your data with third parties
- Minimal Storage: The only data stored locally on your device is your theme preference
Data Collection
BulkIPLab processes only the inputs you directly provide in the IP lookup and hash lookup forms. Specifically:
- What We See: IP addresses and file hashes you paste into our forms, temporarily held during analysis
- What We Don't Collect: Your name, email, location, device ID, or any personally identifiable information
- Processing Only: Your indicators are analyzed and results displayed. Nothing is saved to databases or servers
Third-Party Services
BulkIPLab uses external services that operate under their own privacy policies:
- VirusTotal: We query VirusTotal's API for threat intelligence data. VirusTotal's privacy policy governs their data handling
- Google AdSense: Advertisements on BulkIPLab are served by Google AdSense. Google may collect anonymized usage data for ad targeting per their privacy policy
- Vercel: Our hosting provider, Vercel, may collect server logs and analytics. Review Vercel's privacy policy for details
- Google Analytics: We may use analytics to understand site usage patterns, but this is anonymized and never linked to personal data
Local Storage & Cookies
BulkIPLab uses minimal local storage:
- Theme Preference: We store your light/dark mode choice in browser local storage for convenience
- No Tracking Cookies: BulkIPLab itself does not set tracking cookies. We only use essential cookies for session management if required
