Privacy Policy for Speed Test - WiFi SpeedTest

Last updated: July 17, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how the "Speed Test - WiFi SpeedTest" browser extension ("the Extension," "we," "us," or "our") handles information when you install and use it. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices.

1. Overview

The Extension allows you to measure your internet connection's download speed, upload speed, ping, and jitter directly from your browser toolbar. The Extension is designed to function with minimal data collection.

2. Information We Collect

The Extension may process the following information solely to perform its core function:

• Network performance data: download speed, upload speed, ping/latency, and jitter measurements generated during a speed test you initiate.
• Approximate network/location information: your general connection region (e.g., country or city level, derived from IP address) may be used to select the nearest test server for accurate results.
• Technical information: browser type and version, operating system, and extension version, used for compatibility and troubleshooting.

We do not collect your name, email address, precise location, browsing history, passwords, payment information, or the content of the websites you visit.

3. How We Use Information

• To run the speed test and display accurate results to you.
• To select the optimal test server based on your general region.
• To maintain, troubleshoot, and improve the Extension's performance and reliability.
• To detect and prevent abuse or technical errors.

4. Data Storage

Speed test results are stored locally in your browser's local storage so you can view your test history. This local history is not transmitted to our servers unless you explicitly choose to share or export it. You can clear this history at any time by removing the Extension or clearing your browser's site/extension data.

5. Third-Party Services

To perform speed measurements, the Extension connects to third-party network testing infrastructure/servers over the internet. These providers may receive your IP address and connection metadata as a technical necessity of running a network speed test, in the same way any website or app measuring your connection would. We do not sell or share this information for advertising purposes.

6. Permissions

The Extension may request the following browser permissions, used only as described:

• host permissions - to connect to speed test servers required to measure your connection.

The Extension does not request access to your browsing history, tabs content, or other websites' data beyond what is required for its core functionality.

7. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your information to third parties. We do not use collected data for advertising, profiling, or creditworthiness purposes. Information may only be disclosed if required by law or to protect our legal rights.

8. Data Retention

Locally stored test history remains on your device until you delete it or uninstall the Extension. We do not retain a copy of your personal test history on our servers.

9. Children's Privacy

The Extension is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

10. Your Choices

• You can clear your local test history at any time via the Extension settings or by clearing browser storage.
• You can uninstall the Extension at any time through your browser's extension manager, which removes all locally stored data.

11. Security

We use reasonable technical measures to protect the limited data processed by the Extension. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the Extension's functionality or legal requirements. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised. Continued use of the Extension after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
