Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how SpeedCheck.DEV (“we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, and safeguards information when you use our website and speed test (the “Service”). By using the Service, you agree to the practices described here.

Information We Collect

We are designed to collect as little personal information as possible. We do not require you to create an account.

• Test data: When you run a speed test, we process measurements such as download speed, upload speed, ping, and jitter, along with the test server used and a timestamp.
• Technical data: Your IP address and approximate location may be processed to select a nearby test server and display your location. Where we retain test records, the IP address is stored only in a hashed (non-reversible) form and is never kept in plain text.
• Device & usage data: Standard information such as browser type, device type, and pages visited, collected through cookies and analytics.

How We Use Information

• To run speed tests and display your results.
• To select an appropriate test server for your connection.
• To operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Service, including preventing abuse and rate-limiting excessive usage.
• To produce aggregate, anonymized statistics and analytics.
• To display advertising that helps keep the Service free.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to remember your preferences (such as your cookie-consent choice), to measure traffic, and to support advertising. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings; disabling some cookies may affect how the Service works.

Advertising and Google AdSense

We use third-party advertising, including Google AdSense, to help fund the Service. These providers may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to our website or other websites.
• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the internet.
• You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info.

For more information about how Google uses data, please review Google's privacy & terms.

Consent (EEA, UK, and Other Regions)

If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or a similar jurisdiction, we ask for your consent before using non-essential cookies, including those used for personalized advertising. You can change your choice at any time by clearing your browser's storage for this site, which will prompt the consent banner again.

Analytics

We may use privacy-conscious analytics tools to understand how the Service is used in aggregate. This data is not used to personally identify you.

Data Retention

We retain anonymized test results and aggregate statistics for as long as they are useful for operating and improving the Service. Because we hash IP addresses and do not require accounts, retained records are not designed to identify you personally.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data, or to object to certain processing. To make a request, contact us via our contact page.

Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Third-Party Links

Our site may link to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to review their policies.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date.
