1. Introduction and Scope

This Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) sets forth the practices of (“How Fast Is My Connection,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) concerning the collection, use, and protection of information obtained through the utilization of our website, software, and services (collectively, the “Services”).

By accessing or otherwise using the Services, you hereby affirm that you have read, understand, and unconditionally consent to the terms and conditions stipulated within this Policy. Should you not agree to the terms herein, you must immediately cease all use of the Services.

2. Data Collection and Categorization

We collect information that falls into the following categories:

(a) Service Performance Data: Data generated directly from the execution of the speed test function, which includes, but is not limited to, the metrics of download speed, upload speed, latency (ping), packet delay variation (jitter), and the reported Internet Service Provider (ISP) name. This data is utilized exclusively for performance analysis and statistical aggregation.

(b) Technical and Operational Data: Standard information collected through automated mechanisms such as cookies and similar tracking technologies. This includes, without limitation, device type, browser version, operating system details, and session metadata.

(c) Voluntary User Data: Information voluntarily provided by the user, which may include account creation details (excluding full personal identifiers such as name or physical address) and specific preference or configuration settings.

Non-Collection of Personal Identifiers: We adhere to a strict policy of not collecting specific, direct personal identifiers, such as your full name, physical address, or specific IP address for the purpose of public disclosure or internal sharing.

3. Utilization of Collected Information

The collected information is processed solely for the following legitimate business purposes:

(a) To operate, maintain, and continually enhance the functionality and efficiency of the Services. (b) To accurately render speed test results and generate corresponding analytics for the user. (c) To compile and disseminate anonymous, aggregated statistical reports that contain no personally identifiable data. (d) To ensure the consistent application of user-defined settings and preferences across sessions. (e) To implement security measures intended to prevent and detect instances of fraud, misuse, or unauthorized access to the Services.

Prohibition on Data Sale: We warrant that we shall not sell, lease, rent, or otherwise loan any information, including aggregated or voluntary data, to third parties.

4. The Use of Cookies and Tracking Technologies

(a) Functional Cookies: These are necessary to facilitate essential operations, including maintaining user sessions, storing persistent preferences, and ensuring the delivery of core Service features.

(b) Third-Party Cookies and Advertising: Our Services may incorporate content or advertisements from third-party providers. These providers may deploy their own cookies or tracking mechanisms to deliver advertisements deemed relevant based on your generalized browsing activity.

User Control: Users retain the ability to manage, restrict, or disable cookies through their specific browser settings; however, acknowledgement is hereby given that doing so may impair or preclude the proper functioning of certain aspects of the Services.

5. Protocol for Result Sharing

When a user elects to publicly disseminate test results (e.g., via a generated link or social media post), the shared output shall be strictly limited to the performance metrics (download, upload, ping, jitter, and ISP name) and shall under no circumstances include any information that constitutes a personal identifier.

6. User Rights Regarding Data Access and Retention

Users are accorded the following rights concerning their data:

(a) Exportation: The capability to export a record of their test history directly from the designated history interface. (b) Data Deletion: The unconditional right to permanently delete all associated data by navigating to account settings and executing the “Clear All Data” function. (c) Assistance: Requests for assistance concerning data removal or management may be directed to our designated support channel.

7. Data Security Commitment

We are firmly committed to preserving the confidentiality and security of your data. Our data handling procedures and operational controls are meticulously engineered to mitigate the risk of unauthorized access, accidental disclosure, or malicious modification.
