Where you are
An IP is your virtual address. Every device connected to the internet has an IP address attributed to it, which reveals its IP geolocation. Someone who looks up your IP address can see your location down to the street level. IP addresses help data to find its destination and reach the intended online recipient.
Your ISP
Public IP is an IP address attributed to you by your internet service provider (ISP). So, your IP also shows what your ISP is.
Who you are
An IP locator does not provide personally identifiable information such as name, email, phone number, exact home address, etc. But ISPs can still trace the owner of an IP. They can also share this data with anyone if they have a warrant.
