MSubtitles utilizes your IP address to determine the country from which you are connecting to our service. In our load balancers, we only store the first three octets of your IP address, with the last octet being replaced by zero. This modified IP address is what our service uses to identify your country. Once this information is obtained, we anonymize and store it in two different ways:
In the first method, the IP address received from our load balancer is transformed into an MD5 hash, ensuring that the original address cannot be retrieved, although the MD5 hash can be blocked if necessary.
The second method of IP address storage involves replacing the last two octets with zeros, ensuring that it cannot be traced back to you.
It's important to note that we only maintain a record of the country of origin, excluding information about the region, city, or exact coordinates. To simplify, our system stores the information as follows:
