According to the announcement on the 1.1.1.1 website
Who is behind 1.1.1.1
1.1.1.1 is a partnership between Cloudflare and APNIC.
APNIC is a Regional Internet Registery (RIR) responsible for handing out IPs in the Asia Pacific region. It is one of five RIRs that manage IP allocation globally, the other four being: ARIN (North America), RIPE (Europe/Middle East), AFRINIC (Africa), and LATNIC (South America).
The announcement also states in regard to privacy that
Cloudflare will never log your IP address (the way other companies identify you). And we’re not just saying that. We’ve retained KPMG to audit our systems annually to ensure that we’re doing what we say.
Frankly, we don’t want to know what you do on the Internet—it’s none of our business—and we’ve taken the technical steps to ensure we can’t.
Cloudflare’s 1.1.1.1 DNS services claims response time of 14.8ms
as compared to Cisco’s Open DNS response time 20.6ms and
Google’s Public DNS response time of 34.7ms
