I'm guessing, Smaug, but i think the IP address pinpoints your city and maybe the zipcode, which is demographics info that could be sold to advertisers.  There's a website that will show you the info connected with your IP.

And what exactly can one find out about you with your IP addy? 


 


Thanks tansy. If that's the extent of it quiz takers shouldn't be too concerned if their IP addies (most are revolving anyway) are revealed.

Re: those online quizzes......

When I checked mine on a website for that purpose, it listed my city and the latitude/longitude.  Granted I don't know if the lat/long info pinpointed my house or the town itself.

Yea, I tend to void them. Afraid they are looking for something else than what they are asking.😁
