Privacy
Last updated August 15, 2026
Short version: the tools work without an account and without knowing who you are. If you make an account we keep your email address, your plan and your last 50 test results, and you can delete all of it from your account page in one click. We have never stored an IP address in a database and do not intend to start.
What runs in your browser and never leaves it
Your floor plans, the coverage simulation results and every heatmap are computed in your own browser and saved in your browser’s local storage. They are not uploaded. Clearing your browser data deletes them, and we cannot recover them, because we never had them.
What we store when you run a speed test
An anonymous summary: download and upload speed, latency, jitter, packet loss, your country and region, and your internet provider’s network number (ASN). No IP address — the address shown on the results screen is read from the request and never written down. These rows have no account attached to them, cannot be linked back to you, and are deleted after 180 days. They are what makes aggregate answers like “typical speeds in Panama” possible.
If you have answered the optional questions about your connection — plan speed, device count, or nearby-network count — those answers travel with the same anonymized summary, alongside a guess at your connection type. They are saved in your browser’s local storage the first time you answer them and sent again with every test after that, the same way the floor plans above are stored, until you clear your browser data.
What we store if you make an account
- Your email address — to sign you in, and for nothing else. No newsletter exists.
- Your plan (free, Ad-Free or Pro) and, if you subscribe, your subscription status, renewal date and the payment provider’s reference number.
- Your last 50 speed tests. Older ones are deleted automatically.
We never see or store card numbers. Payments are handled entirely by the payment provider on their own pages.
What we store when you send feedback
The category you picked, your message, and your email address if you gave us one so we could reply. Kept for up to 180 days — or deleted immediately, along with the rest of your account, if you filed it with the email address of an account you later delete.
Cookies and local storage
One cookie, and only if you sign in: a session cookie that says “this browser is signed in” and nothing else. It is HttpOnly and expires after 30 days. Signing out deletes it on both ends. We use no analytics cookies and no tracking pixels in our email.
A few small values live in your browser and are never sent to us: a cached copy of your plan (so ad slots don’t flash into view for Ad-Free and Pro visitors before disappearing), and two values that pace the occasional “go ad-free” overlay — adInterstitialLast, a timestamp enforcing the two-minute gap between appearances, and adInterstitialCount, a per-tab count enforcing the three-per-session limit. None of it is analytics or tracking, and clearing your browser data clears all of it.
Ads
Free visitors see ads from Google AdSense, which may use cookies to choose them. If you are in the EEA, the UK or Switzerland, Google’s own certified consent tool asks you about that before any personalised ad is served — it is their platform, their consent record, and your choices are managed there. Ad-Free and Pro subscribers see no ads at all, and the ad code is never loaded for them.
Deleting your data
- Account: your account page has a delete button. It removes your email address, your plan, your subscription record and every saved test, immediately and permanently.
- Feedback tickets: deleting your account also deletes any ticket you filed using that account’s email address. A ticket filed anonymously, or under a different address, has no link back to your account for this to find — it expires on its own within 180 days instead.
- Scanner waitlist: the unsubscribe control on the Channel Advisor removes your address from that list. It is a separate list with its own consent.
- Anonymous test data: cannot be deleted on request, because there is nothing in it that identifies you — we would have no way to find “yours”. It ages out at 180 days.
- Operational bookkeeping: a small amount of infrastructure record-keeping not tied to your identity — rate-limit counters and webhook de-duplication records — is unaffected by any of the above and expires automatically within 30 days regardless.
Who else touches your data
Cloudflare hosts the site and its database. An email provider delivers sign-in links. A payment provider processes subscriptions. Google serves ads. That is the complete list — we sell nothing to anyone, and there is no data broker in it.
