I was debugging something & searched for jquery in the Network tab and stumbled upon an API call to pro.ip-api.com and when I found the response for the API, I was shell shocked to see the detailed being captured.
Here are the things that I found pro.ip-api.com was capturing about my location
{
"as": "My ISP Pvt Ltd",
"city": "My City",
"country": "My Country Name",
"countryCode": "My Country Code",
"isp": "My ISP",
"lat": my.lat,
"lon": my.long,
"org": "Something",
"query": "My.Actual.IP",
"region": "Quite Close Region Code",
"regionName": "Quite Close Region Name",
"status": "success",
"timezone": "Accurate/Timezone",
"zip": "Accurate ZIP"
}
PS - The data UberSuggest captures is very scary. I use UberSuggest for SEO purposes. For the time being, I have blocked this API end point with the following Requestly Rule - https://app.requestly.io/rules/#sharedList/1664432223477-Block-Pro-IP-API
More Importantly, UberSuggest fires this on every page/domain. I assume every analytics tool captures Country & City so that'd have been fine but tracking information till region, ISP & ZIP code is unacceptable.
Should I try contacting Neil Patel and tell him about this before dropping a review on Chrome Store.
