Data Collection

Geolocation Information

System Monitor collects your public IP address to determine your geolocation. This information is queried via the ip-api.com API.

What is sent:

  • Your public IP address
  • No cookies or identifiers

What is received:

  • Country
  • City
  • ISP (Internet Service Provider)
  • Whether a proxy/VPN is detected

Storage:

  • None. Data is not stored locally or transmitted to any third-party beyond ip-api.com
  • Each query is independent and does not track across sessions

Opting Out

You can disable geolocation lookups entirely:

MONITOR_OFFLINE=1 monitor

In offline mode:

  • No external API calls are made
  • No data about your IP is collected
  • Location displays as "Unknown"
