Public IP Addresses
Fing App's requirement of device public IP addresses are compliant with GDPR.
The Fing App receives the Public IP address from the originating scanning device and enriches it with publicly available information in order to deliver the data back to the user in a readable format in the App. This practice is covered by Section 2 of our Privacy Policy and is performed by an external service called GeoIP.
GeoIP is used by developers worldwide. This service provides the publicly available information of the ISP the user is connected to, but does not provide the location of the user.
Fing uses GeoIP to show the Fing App user information including:
- Their public IP address
- Who and where their Internet Service Provider is
- If their Internet connection is working
None of the above-mentioned information is considered Personally Identifiable Information by existing regulations. A public IP address alone will not enable Fing to identify a user, unless it is combined with specific personal information you explicitly provide to us. For example, when creating a Fing Account (see Article 4 of GDPR).
When you create a Fing Account, we require you to read and accept our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy
