IP Information Methodology

How public IP is determined

Your browser cannot determine its own public IP address locally. The tool makes an HTTP request to api.ipify.org, a minimal third-party API that returns only your IP address as JSON.

What the provider receives

• Your public IP address (necessary to return it to you).
• The fact that a request was made (standard HTTP logging).

The provider returns a simple JSON object with a single ip field and nothing else. No geolocation, no ISP, no user agent.

Browser metadata — local

Browser, OS, platform, language, timezone, screen resolution, viewport, CPU cores and touch capability are detected locally via the navigator and window.screen APIs. This metadata never leaves your browser.

Data persistence

YEAH! does not persist your IP address for product analytics. The IP is displayed to you and discarded. If operational logs from the hosting platform inevitably contain IP data, that is governed by the platform provider's policies, not YEAH!.
