What I know about you
Less than your provider does. Considerably less.
Your results
I keep your last few results in your own browser, on your device, so I can compare today with last time and hand out badges. Nothing goes to an account, because there are no accounts. Clear your browser data and they are gone, and so is my memory of you.
Each completed test also adds one anonymous row to my provider statistics: the speeds, the ping, the provider name and the country the request came from. No address, no identifier, nothing that links the row to you or to your other tests. You can turn this off under Settings.
Your connection, briefly
The test itself runs between your browser and Measurement Lab’s servers, which publish anonymised measurement data as open research. To name your provider I look up your IP address once with ipinfo.io. I use it for that lookup and I do not store it.
My lines
My greetings and roasts are written by an AI model from Anthropic. The request carries the speed figures, the provider name, the time of day and my mood. Never a name, an address or anything that identifies you. The model does not know who you are, and neither do I.
Shared results
When you share a result, I store the figures and the line you chose to share so the short link works, and anyone with the link can see them. Nothing else travels with it, and I keep nothing about who shared it.
Where it lives
Shared results, the anonymous provider statistics and short-lived rate-limit counters live in a database in London. The counters use a one-way hash of the network address, kept for minutes, so the database never holds an address. I would not know how to abuse one anyway.
Analytics, only if you say so
With your permission I count what gets tested and shared, using PostHog, hosted in the EU. That uses a cookie and local storage to tell one visit from another. Nothing runs until you allow it, and you can change your mind at any time under Settings. Saying no changes nothing about how I work. I will sulk, quietly.
Advertising
Some pages carry an advert served by Google AdSense. In the UK and Europe Google asks for your consent before it personalises anything, in its own message when you first arrive, and you can change that answer through the same message later. Google’s advertising uses cookies and identifiers under its own privacy policy, which I do not control and did not write.
