Privacy Policy
Effective Date: May 21, 2025
This Privacy Policy describes how CheckMyNat.com (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you visit and use our website at www.CheckMyNat.com
Information We Collect
We collect certain technical information when you visit our website to help us improve our services, particularly our NAT (Network Address Translation) detection capabilities. The types of information we collect include:
- IP Address: Your Internet Protocol (IP) address. This is used to identify your general geographic location (country) and to assist in determining your NAT type.
- NAT Type Information: Data related to your network’s NAT configuration. This information is derived from technical interactions between your device and our server.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- Service Improvement: Your IP address and NAT type information are crucial for us to accurately detect and classify different NAT types. This helps us refine and enhance the accuracy and reliability of our NAT detection service.
- Aggregated and Anonymized Statistics: We use collected data, including IP addresses and NAT type information, to generate anonymized and aggregated statistics. This means that we process the data in a way that it can no longer be used to identify you personally. For example, we might generate reports on the prevalence of different NAT types by country or region. These anonymized statistics may be published on our website or shared with third parties.
- Website Analytics: We may use aggregated, non-identifiable data for general website analytics, such as understanding traffic patterns and popular features.
How We Share Your Information
We are committed to protecting your privacy. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.
- Anonymized Data: We may share anonymized and aggregated statistics with third parties for research, reporting, or marketing purposes. As this data is fully anonymized, it does not contain any information that could be used to identify you.
Data Retention
We retain raw IP addresses and NAT type information only for as long as necessary to perform the processing purposes outlined above, after which they are either deleted or permanently anonymized. Anonymized and aggregated statistical data may be retained indefinitely as it cannot be linked back to individual users.
Data Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information we collect from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, please be aware that no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the “Effective Date” at the top. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
