How to properly handle privacy on a website using api's.

Hey,

So I’m working on a website for a company. It is meant as a bit of an ad for the browser they are making which is anti-detect. The website shows potential ways other websites can use information from the browser to track you.

In order to make that work I use ipinfo and iphub as they are commonly used to get the ip adres based on the IP adres.

I recently moved from google analytics to a self-hosted umami solution in order to make the website more private. But the API’s are a little difficult for me. I don’t know what they do with the IP adresses I send their way. How do I address that appropriately?

Thank you!

(I’m not gonna put the link here because it promotes proprietary software which is seemingly against the rules)

I don't have any advice to give but I want to thank you for considering this angle while building the website.

Thank you! I’m pretty new to web development, so it’s very hard to figure it all out (:
