Privacy Policy

What happens when you run a test

When you start a test, your device connects directly to Cloudflare's network to run the measurement — this site does not proxy or relay your test traffic through our own servers. As part of providing that network service, Cloudflare receives your IP address, the same way any network operator you connect to necessarily sees the address your device is connecting from. Cloudflare may also receive an aggregated measurement summary (such as throughput and latency figures) that it uses for its own network insights and service operation. Running a full test transfers a meaningful amount of data — typically tens to low hundreds of megabytes — as part of measuring download and upload throughput, so keep that in mind on a metered or capped connection.

What we store locally

Completed results are saved only in your own browser's localStorage — they are never transmitted to, or stored on, our servers. That local history is what powers the history view. You can export it as a CSV file at any time, delete individual results, or clear all saved history from within the app. Because this history lives entirely in your browser, clearing your browser's site data, using a different browser or device, or browsing in a private/incognito window will mean that history is not available.

What we don't collect

• We do not log your full IP address in any analytics or logging system we operate.
• We do not run advertising trackers, ad pixels, or cross-site advertising cookies.
• We never request your device's location, and no location permission prompt is shown.
• There is no account, sign-up, or registration — you can use every part of the site anonymously.
• We do not maintain a server-side database of your individual test results.

Analytics

Where enabled, this site uses Cloudflare Web Analytics, a privacy-conscious, cookie-free analytics product that does not use persistent identifiers or cross-site tracking to build a profile of you. It is only active when explicitly configured for this deployment — if the analytics token is not set, no analytics script loads at all. It reports aggregate traffic patterns (such as page views and general performance), not individually identifying behavior.

Third parties

Cloudflare is the only third party involved in running this site's core functionality — as the network that powers the speed measurement itself, and optionally as the provider of the cookie-free analytics described above. We don't share data with any other third party. You can read Cloudflare's own privacy policy at cloudflare.com/privacypolicy for details on how it handles data on its network.

Your choices

Clearing your saved results from the history page, or clearing your browser's site data more broadly, removes any local record of your past tests. If you use a VPN and want to measure your connection without it, you're free to disable it before testing — nothing on this site requires a VPN either way. You can also decline to run the test at any time; simply visiting the site does not start a measurement or transfer test data on its own.

Changes to this policy and contact

We may update this policy as the site's features change. The legal owner of this site is currently listed as [Owner legal name — placeholder], a placeholder pending confirmation of a verified legal entity. Questions about this policy can be sent to hello@example-placeholder.com, also a placeholder address pending launch. This policy itself is a draft prepared ahead of legal review and is not intended as, and should not be relied on as, legal advice — it must be reviewed and finalized by qualified counsel before this site is treated as production-ready.
