Privacy notice
Version v3 · effective July 22, 2026
This notice explains how IPSpy.net, operated by Tristan McGowan, handles information when you use the site's utility tools and the #CleverGirl AI chat. In this notice, we, us, and our mean IPSpy.net and its operator.
Privacy at a glance
- We do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
- We do not use marketing analytics or advertising cookies.
- Password, Encoding, DateTime, CIDR, SHA-2, URL, JSON, and UUID inputs are processed locally in your browser. IP Lookup clearly identifies its existing outside services.
- Clipboard writes happen only when you choose a visible Copy action. IPSpy.net never reads your clipboard.
- #CleverGirl messages are used to provide your session, not to train the characters or add material to the Book 1 reference collection.
- Do not submit passwords, private records, payment information, contact details, or other sensitive personal information.
Information we handle
Site and utility tools
- Connection information: hosting and security providers receive ordinary request data such as your IP address, browser or device information, requested page, referrer allowed by your browser, and request time.
- IP lookup and map information: on home-page load, your browser asks Cloudflare trace for the public IP address visible to that service. Only after you choose the separate approximate-location action does your browser ask IPSpy.net's same-origin Cloudflare Worker to return Cloudflare's approximate network metadata for that request. The Worker accepts no IP address to search and does not contact another location provider. Both IP lookup requests refuse redirects. OpenStreetMap tiles load only when the response includes usable approximate coordinates; tile requests can reveal the approximate area being viewed.
- Browser-local utility information: Password, Encoding, DateTime, CIDR, SHA-2, URL, JSON, and UUID inputs and results remain in current-page memory and are not sent to a utility provider. Encoding keeps at most 10 bounded, Unicode-scalar-safe previews of recent transformations only while that page remains open; it does not retain complete prior values in history.
- Local file hashing: when you select a file for SHA-2 hashing, the browser reads up to 25 MiB into memory to calculate the checksum. IPSpy.net does not upload, persist, or log the file, its contents, or its name.
- Clipboard and preferences: a utility writes a result to the clipboard only after you activate its Copy control. The site does not read the clipboard. The theme control stores your display preference on your device.
#CleverGirl AI chat
- Session content: your chosen handle, messages, generated replies, report choices, and timestamps.
- Session and safety information: an essential session cookie, request identifiers and status, rate and usage limits, active policy versions, and limited security or error information.
- Bot-detection information: Cloudflare Turnstile processes browser and interaction signals before a new session is created.
How we use information
We use information only as reasonably necessary to:
- deliver the site, utility results, maps, and the AI chat;
- create, secure, resume, and clear an isolated chat session;
- find relevant approved Book 1 context and generate a response to your message;
- enforce age, safety, abuse, rate, and cost limits;
- investigate errors, protect the service, and prevent misuse;
- review a reported AI reply using the limited report record described below; and
- respond to privacy requests and comply with applicable law.
Where data-protection law requires a legal basis, we rely as applicable on providing the service you requested, our legitimate interests in operating and securing it, consent when requested, and compliance with legal obligations.
Service providers and disclosures
Cloudflare provides site delivery, security, bot detection, short-lived chat storage, approved Book 1 search, and AI processing. Chat inputs and outputs are processed to provide the chat. Our configuration disables storage of raw AI request and response payloads in the AI request log and disables AI response caching.
Cloudflare trace provides public-IP discovery on home-page load. IPSpy.net's Cloudflare Worker returns Cloudflare-provided approximate network metadata only after you request it, and OpenStreetMap provides map tiles only when usable approximate coordinates are returned. These providers receive the request and connection information needed to provide their service and apply their own privacy practices.
LinkedIn receives information only if you follow the external profile link or contact the operator there.
We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to valid legal process, protect people or the service, investigate misuse, or complete a business reorganization or transfer subject to appropriate safeguards.
AI and your messages
Your chat messages and recent messages from the same session are sent to Cloudflare-hosted AI services so the fictional crew can answer. Relevant excerpts from an approved Book 1 reference collection may also be supplied to the AI.
We do not use visitor messages to train or fine-tune AI models, train the characters, automatically improve future replies, or add material to the Book 1 reference collection. Cloudflare states that it does not use Workers AI customer content to train AI models or improve Cloudflare or third-party services without explicit consent.
Cookies and browser storage
IPSpy.net uses an essential, secure chat-session cookie so the service can recognize your private session. Cloudflare may use essential security cookies or tokens for Turnstile and abuse protection. We do not use advertising cookies.
You can remove current-page encoding history from the encoding tool, change or clear the saved theme, clear site data in your browser, or use Clear session in #CleverGirl. On a site visit, IPSpy.net also removes only the old encoding_history browser-storage entry created by an earlier version of the tool.
How long information is kept
- Browser-local utility inputs and results remain only in current-page memory until you clear them, navigate away, or reload. Encoding history is limited to 10 bounded, Unicode-scalar-safe current-page previews rather than complete prior values. Theme preferences remain on your device until you or your browser removes them.
- Completed chat data expires after 7 days without a completed exchange and no later than 30 days after the session begins.
- Choosing Clear session ends access, removes the active session and transcript, clears the session cookie, and removes the transcript from the page.
- Deleted database records may remain temporarily available in restricted provider recovery systems for up to 30 days before aging out.
- If you report an AI reply, the selected reason and a short, filtered excerpt of that AI reply may be kept separately for up to 30 days. Your handle and message are excluded by default.
- Limited security, quota, cost, and error records are kept only as long as reasonably necessary to operate and protect the service or meet legal obligations. They are designed not to include chat text, handles, cookies, raw IP addresses, or AI prompts and replies.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards designed to limit collection, restrict access, protect information in transit, isolate chat sessions, and delete active chat data on schedule. No internet service or security measure is completely secure, so please avoid sending sensitive information.
Your choices and privacy rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or an explanation of information we hold; object to or limit certain processing; withdraw consent; or appeal a privacy-request decision. You will not be discriminated against for exercising a privacy right.
Use the tool and chat clearing controls first. For another privacy request, privately contact the operator through the linked LinkedIn profile. Do not include secrets or sensitive records in a public post. We may ask for limited information needed to understand and verify the request. Because the service has no user accounts and intentionally avoids identity collection, we may be unable to find or verify information that cannot be safely connected to you.
Children
IPSpy.net and #CleverGirl are not directed to children under 13, and the chat requires visitors to confirm they are at least 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a child under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us so we can review and delete it where required.
International processing
IPSpy.net and its providers may process information in the United States and other countries where they operate. Privacy protections and government-access rules may differ from those in your country.
Changes to this notice
We may update this notice as the service, providers, or legal requirements change. The effective date and version at the top identify the current notice. Material changes will be presented prominently when appropriate.
