* Service: ipwho.is (by IPWHOIS.io)
* When: once per unique IP address, cached for 24 hours, whenever a logged-in user’s status is recorded.
* Data sent: the visiting user’s IP address, sent as part of the request URL. No other personal data is sent.

* Privacy Policy: https://ipwhois.io/privacy

Public IP lookup (local/development environments only)

Country flag icons
* Service: flagcdn.com
