Update: I have removed wallet explorer. com because it got exposed as an anti-privacy blockexplorer: https://www.coindesk.com/business/2021/09/21/leaked-slides-show-how-chainalysis-flags-crypto-suspects-for-cops/

Coindesk has researched about it and concluded:

Wallet Explorer is operated by Chainalysis, a research company for Blockchain data and is recording people's IP addresses including inserted cryptocurrency adresses. By doing so, Chainalysis can collect data, which IP belongs to which cryptocurrency address, which is bad for privacy. Coindesk has also claimed, specific datasets were forwarded to law enforcement.

It is generally recommended to insert own addresses at Blockexplorers only via VPN.
