ABOUT TRACEMYIP.ORG

TraceMyIP.org is an advanced and private server-side website visitor IP
tracking, surveillance, website statistics and analytics service application. It
delivers unique features that are not commonly available on website IP address
data acquisition platforms. It is built on a proprietary SaaS software
technology developed from the ground up by a computer software development
facility originally based in Massachusetts, USA.

The implementation has been featured on news networks for its innovative
technology.







The service has been in operation since 2008. It's designed to assist web
publishers to learn about IP Tracking, online security, their personal and
business websites' operational status, website visitors, and outcome of the
efforts that establish their presence on the Internet.

The platform provides extensive information about website visitors, their likes,
and favorite content that is being monitored. It does this without revealing an
actual visitor's personal identity or breaching the privacy associated with a
personal identity.





TraceMyIP.org is a spam-free service. The users receive no spam messages via
email from the service and each account's information remains strictly
confidential. The only email messages delivered to the end-users are instant and
scheduled visitor email alerts and account-related reporting and billing alerts.
All of these are entirely controlled by the users of the service.

TraceMyIP.org is utilized Internationally and is appreciated for its simplicity
and superior application tools. The capabilities allow detecting visitor hits
activity on individual site pages and embedded web elements. The online IP
tracking software is capable of reliably differentiating web bots, spiders, and
referrer spam data from other traffic sources that relate to the IP statistics
capturing. Visitor location tracking, mapping, and browsing history of each
individual visitor based on an IP address or a computer ID is another
distinctive feature of the service. All web visitor traffic is captured in IPv4
format while translating IPv6 addresses via tunneling from IPv6 to IPv4 format.

The website visitor tracking service provided by TraceMyIP.org is compatible
with all major operating systems and their native browser apps that are
currently available on the market. These include, and not limited to Windows,
iOS (iPhone / iPad OS) and Android systems. To track website visitors through an
entire domain name or subdomain, a website designer/webmaster would only need to
install a single HTML or JavaScript-based gadget code in the header, or footer
of a website, social network, or blog. The system supports fully secure tracking
via HTTPS/SSL protocol which is now the default protocol for all secure content
delivery.

TraceMyIP.org can also be used with CMS and blog implementations that cannot
utilize JavaScript tracking and only allow for a simple HTML visitor tracking
code. As a result, unlike most popular website statistics software packages, the
system supports a significantly wider range of website publishing platforms by
utilizing different methods of tracking not available on most IP analytics
software.

HOW DOES TRACEMYIP COMPARE TO OTHER WEBSITE STATISTICS SYSTEMS SUCH AS GOOGLE
ANALYTICS, WEBALIZER STATS, STATCOUNTER & AWSTATS FOR EXAMPLE?

TraceMyIP.org is a unique platform with some features not available in other web
visitor tracker systems. Particularly, it allows you to conduct long-term
surveillance of individual visitors and observe their IP address changes in real
time. Instead of tracking by IP address, you can track by a computer ID.
TraceMyIP.org also provides you the tools to control the delivery of the website
content, protect contact forms, links, and other documents on a geo-location
level, control file, and document downloads, and schedule specific pages to be
shown at specific times or to specific visitors. The tools that are available to
you will help protect website content and prevent secure content from being
served to a narrowly defined audience. Scheduled and instant email alerts allow
for conducting long-term surveillance of specific individuals. Never miss a
visit and get email notifications delivered on an hourly, daily, weekly, and
monthly basis.



MY WEBSITE SERVES CONTENT TO EUROPEAN UNION MEMBER STATES AND IS SUBJECT TO THE
EU GDPR REGULATION. WHAT CAN I DO TO ACHIEVE BETTER COMPLIANCE THAT REQUIRES ME
TO GET EACH VISITOR'S CONSENT BEFORE COLLECTING FULL STATISTICS?

TraceMyIP.org provides one of the most complete sets of tools to achieve full EU
General Data Protection Regulation compliance. The EU GDPR tools allow
webmasters to configure how the system tracks the visitors depending on their
GEO location. The Cookieless Tracking mode allows webmasters to get website
visitor information without utilizing tracking cookies on all devices, including
iOS, Android, and Windows tablets, phones, laptops, and desktop computers.
Although the Cookieless Tracking solution makes it easier to achieve the goal,
you may still need to give your website visitors an option to opt out of being
tracked. Please refer to EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) directive.



Currently, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) affects the
following European Union member states:
Austria, Belgium, British Virgin Islands, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia,
Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy,
Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania,
Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom and websites that target their
content or do business with individuals that reside in European Union. The
required cookie law solution would be to discontinue using cookies that are
stored in the visitor's browser.



DOES TRACEMYIP AFFECT THE BANDWIDTH USAGE WITH MY WEBSITE HOSTING PROVIDER (BOTH
IPV4 AND IPV6)?

Just like a "green car" vehicle technology approved by the US Environmental
Protection Agency, TraceMyIP.org does not substantially increase the bandwidth
usage of your website hosting provider services since the actual website
statistics analysis software and computer data storage is hosted on
TraceMyIP.org dedicated servers. The entire website traffic analysis and hosting
of visitor ip address tracker gadgets is performed by the CPU power grid
installed on TraceMyIP.org dedicated server computer infrastructure.
Furthermore, by utilizing TraceMyIP.org and disabling your own server-side
website's dedicated server statistics software such as the Webalizer or cpanel's
AWStats statistics software, it is feasible to save bandwidth and CPU processing
resources, thus speeding up the website speed.



WOULD TRACEMYIP.ORG CODE TRIGGER ANTI-SPAM AND ANTIVIRUS SECURITY OR PRIVACY
ALERTS ON MY WEBSITE VISITORS' COMPUTERS?

TraceMyIP.org is strictly a website visitor IP checker and tracker software that
does not utilize any malicious code base that may trigger online security or
privacy alerts anti-spam or antivirus software. Anti-spam and antivirus software
looks for certain viruses or malicious digital coding signatures and patterns
and intercepts them before they're downloaded onto the end-user's computer hard
drive or placed in the dedicated space range of the random access memory.
TraceMyIP.org does not contain such code patterns; therefore the anti-spam and
antivirus security alerts are not triggered.



WHAT IS AN IP ADDRESS?

An IP is an abbreviation of Internet Protocol. IP serves a role of a digital
computer identification number that is assigned by a network it's connected to.
Without an IP address, networking and IP tracking would not be possible.
Currently, there are 2 formats of IP addresses - ipv4 and ipv6. IPv6 is the
latest implementation to expand the availability of an IP address assignment
range.



WHY DOES A COMPUTER IP ADDRESS CHANGE FROM TIME TO TIME AND WHAT IS MY IP
ADDRESS TYPE?

Every time people establish a new connection with their broadband Internet
Service Provider's (ISP) account either using a wired home/business connection
or a wireless connection, the ISP's network assigns an individual Internet
Protocol to them. This is necessary for a computer to connect to the web so that
other web servers could provide the data exchange facilities.

There are two types of IP address assignment - static IP and dynamic IP. Most
broadband service providers use dynamic IP address allocation and offer a static
Internet Protocol allocation at an additional fee. Static IP assignment is often
required for device tracking devices such as those used in IP address
surveillance and those that require a permanent network address.




HOW IS IPV4 DIFFERENT FROM IPV6?

The IPv6 address format is the successor to IPv4 which is the initial IP address
format standard. The main difference with IPv6 address is its availability. It
also contains additional features, such as simplified IP address assignment,
network renumbering, and IP announcements for the router nodes. While the 32bit
IPv4 address pool is virtually exhausted and allowed somewhere around 4.3
billion addresses to be assigned, IPv6 is 128bits and can produce 3.4W1038
unique IP addresses.

Currently, most web servers are not configured to handle IPv6 connections,
meaning an IPv6 client cannot connect to an IPv4 server. Thus, an implementation
called IPv4-6 tunneling is created mostly on an ISP level to allow an IPv6
client to connect to an IPv4 host. Many devices such as tablets, laptops,
phones, and desktop PCs need their software updated to support the new IPv6 IP
address format.



WHAT ABOUT USERS' PRIVACY WHEN IT COMES TO USING THE INTERNET?

When people connect to their ISP's network using a desktop computer, mobile
satellite phone or mobile cellular phone, or an Internet appliance, their IP's
physical location is associated with an account owner's information is digitally
stored on a dedicated server used to issue the service bills, making it possible
for legal authorities to easily trace an Internet user's physical location.
Furthermore, even without having a legal warrant to request an owner's account
address information from an ISP, using tools like TraceMyIP.org, virtually
anyone can approximate their IP's physical location. TraceMyIP.org website
analytics and visitor's computer tracking functionality does just that but
without providing the name or an exact street address of an Internet user, which
would breach privacy laws.



WHO CAN SEE AND TRACK MY IP ADDRESS?

When you send emails, post on web forums, use instant messengers, or access any
online accounts - your computer's IP is logged by the network receiving
communication requests. This is an essential step that cannot be avoided and
contributes to various technical, security, and privacy aspects. Both IPv4 and
IPv6 address formats are similar in their implementation and thus are captured
by the web servers' statistical software in the same way.



WHICH DIGITAL COMPUTER DEVICES UTILIZE AN IP ADDRESS AND CAN BE DETECTED BY
TRACEMYIP.ORG?

Any digital computer device that has the capability to connect to the World Wide
Web whether it's using a wireless wifi connection, LAN network, Bluetooth, 3G,
4G, or 5G implementations is reliably detected by TraceMyIP, LLC. Examples of IP
devices include mobile cellular phones such as

 * iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPhone, iPad, and iPad Pro tablet revisions, iPad tablet
   and iPhone clones
 * Motorola Moto Q, Nexus One Android, Samsung Tab & Galaxy, Blackberry, Nokia
 * Amazon's Kindle Fire, and Kindle Fire HD tablets
 * HTC phones and tablets
 * Verizon LG mobile cellular internet phones
 * Google Nexus phones and tablets, Sprint Internet phones, AT&T smartphones,
   Nokia smart phones
 * Latest Palm-One Treo mobile phones, T-Mobile smartphones, Samsung and Sony
   smartphones and tablets
 * Digital WiFi appliances, laptops with wireless wifi and Bluetooth
   connectivity
 * All desktop computers that run Windows, Mac, Linux, or other desktop
   operating systems.



TraceMyIP.org IP website tracking feature allows tracking mobile cell phones,
tablets, and desktop type of computer devices and delivers captured data via an
easy-to-understand application interface and instant visitor email
notifications.

However, mobile devices that utilize IP address identification are not limited
to phones, tablets, and laptop applications. As previously mentioned, smart
appliances are the new era of Internet-connected devices that have embedded
end-user web navigation interfaces allowing users to access the web. From
ordinary cars that utilize GPS voice guidance to automated train GPS systems
feedback devices to Airplane GPS autopilot navigation. Whether connected via
proprietary protocols or internal networks - all of them are identified by a
unique Internet Protocol address. As the network deployment emerges, all devices
- from personal computers to autopilot GPS navigation systems eventually become
a part of the same global network.



The latest developments in home automation devices and software, also add
another vast array of digital computer devices to those that utilize IP
addresses, thus each time they're connected to the WAN network, identify
themselves on the wired or wireless network.



WHAT CAN BE DONE TO PROTECT MY ONLINE IDENTITY AND WHAT IS MY IP'S SECURITY AND
PRIVACY?

One option is to connect your wired or wireless Internet devices to a local
network or a hotel, airplane, and any mobile hotspot network that is not your
local home network. When you connect to any public network in a hotel, for
example, your IP will appear as that as assigned by a hotel wifi access router.
This can be an effective measure of extra security precaution. However, a
precaution should be taken anytime you connect to public networks. Every time
you travel anywhere in the world, take family, personal or business vacations,
you will most likely have to connect using publicly available networks such as
those available in resorts, hotels, cruise ships, airplanes or restaurants.
Whenever you use public networks, always keep in mind that the networks may be
monitored with packet capture software, that logs all of the outbound
information on that particular LAN network. Another security risk factor to
consider is being connected to the same LAN network as other computers. If your
computer has any type of file sharing or transfer capabilities enabled, you'll
be revealing the information on your computer with all other people connected to
the same network in hotels, resorts, cruise ships, airplanes, and restaurants.

Another credit that should be given to the VPN proxy server option is that
allows you to hide an IP address by using a virtual private secure proxy server.
This helps to conceal your private IP information to a certain extent, however,
if not carefully selected, it may do more harm than good.



WHAT IS A PROXY SERVER?

A Proxy server is a network service that utilizes a dedicated computer on a
remote network allowing internet users such as yourself to make indirect
connections to other computers/websites using its network connection. All of
your web browsing activity is transferred to a remote server first. When using a
proxy server, the recipient of your communications will see an IP address of the
proxy server and not yours. There are plenty of hosted proxy server
implementations on the world wide web that offer free online user accounts to
hide your online identity. This, however, is not always safe and a bullet-proof
method.



IS THERE A RISK IN USING A PROXY SERVER?

(!) Definitely. Using anonymous proxy servers from unknown and not reputable
providers to hide your Internet protocol address while using phones, tablets,
and computers may present a more serious threat that can eventually contribute
to the digital information leak and all risks associated with it. Since the
digital data from those wireless and wired devices have to pass through a
third-party proxy server, any information you transmit through that server can
be intercepted and indexed, including any messages you may have sent including
but not limited to your account login and password information that you may
utilize for any online services.

In an attempt to search a better privacy on the Internet, many individuals
utilize methods like proxy servers, not realizing that the danger of privacy
breach is greater while using proxy services that claim to be secure.
Furthermore, to trace and check on people's illegal activity, some government
agencies set up free open proxy servers to monitor the activity of those people
who are most likely to have something to hide. The risks are most often related
to those proxy services that offer completely free services and are unknown in
origin.



Never access any of your digitally stored financial account information,
including online credit card banking systems, initiate the transfer of funds,
pay your bills or mortgages online or register any online banking accounts that
contain secure information while using a free proxy server using your phone,
tablet, laptop or a desktop computer. As a matter of fact, most of the
electronic identity theft cases targeted at financial sectors and being
investigated worldwide are the direct result of digital information theft via
the utilization of so-called free proxy servers that offer free online user
accounts



IF SOMEONE HAS MY PRIVATE IP INFORMATION, WHAT TYPE OF SECURITY RISK DOES IT
PRESENT?

First of all, every single Internet user has an IP number, therefore the chance
of you becoming a victim of a malicious attack is minimized by the overwhelming
pool of IP addresses available to those who exercise this type of activity.
Second of all, to protect your privacy, Internet Service Providers do not
release any digitally stored legal or financial bank information to anyone but
legal authorities. Therefore your private information connected to your ISP
provider generally remains very secure.

There is still a chance though that you may become a target of an Internet
hacker attack. An IP address attack spoofs your local Internet connection by
trying to forge your computer's IP via software vulnerabilities. If you have
your phone, tablet, laptop or desktop computer connected directly to a
high-speed DSL or high-speed Cable Modem without a router or a firewall, a
hacker may be able to access the private data on your computer, especially if
you use network file sharing or transfer enabled. In this situation, it would
not be a bad idea to get good firewall software along with antivirus software
commonly used by most people such as Antivir or Avast!, or a hardware router
with a built-in digital firewall. Some high-speed DSL, Cable, and Dish Internet
service providers supply this type of security software at no cost to the people
who use their services.

There is also the definite advantage of having a true hardware firewall built-in
into a router or DSL, Cable, or Dish modem. While a software firewall is good
and gives you full data transfer control, it may be susceptible to viruses,
misconfiguration, and crashes, while a hardware firewall does what it claims to
do and always runs in the background. While a hardware firewall is generally
more stable, allowing only outgoing traffic, it generally gives you somewhat
limited control of your inbound traffic. However, it provides you with the best
possible protection for all of the computers on your local network from
dangerous inbound traffic. All high-speed Internet service providers, including
but not limited to DSL, Cable, and Dish networks are susceptible to end-user
