IvyForms currently connects to the ipwho.is API to detect a visitor’s country and automatically set the appropriate phone number country code.

When data is sent:
Only when a form containing a phone number field is loaded and used.

What data is sent:

• A standard IP address lookup request is sent to ipwho.is.
• No personally identifiable information (PII) is shared, but the visitor’s IP address is part of the request.

This feature helps provide a smoother user experience by auto-selecting the correct country code for phone inputs.

Service details:

• Provider: ipwhois.io
