Who we are

This policy covers vpnspeeddata.com. For anything about your data, email hello@vpnspeeddata.com.

What we collect

  • Server logs. Like most websites, our web server records requests, including IP address, browser type, the page requested and the time. We use these to keep the site running and secure.
  • Analytics. We use Google Analytics to understand which pages are used and where visitors come from. It records information such as pages viewed, approximate location, device type and how you reached the site. It also records when an affiliate link is clicked, and where on the page that link was.
  • Emails you send us. If you email us, we receive your address and whatever you write, and use them to reply.

The speed results on this site come from our own test server, not from your device. We don't test your connection or collect your speed results.

Cookies and browser storage

  • Google Analytics cookies (_ga and _ga_*) tell one visitor from another between visits.
  • Theme setting (vsd-theme, stored in your browser) remembers whether you chose light or dark mode. It isn't sent to us.
  • Deal bar setting (vsd-dealbar, stored in your browser for the session) remembers that you dismissed the deal bar. It isn't sent to us.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, and the site will still work. You can also install Google's Analytics opt-out add-on.

Advertising

This site may show ads served by Google AdSense:

  • Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this website or other websites.
  • Google's advertising cookies let it and its partners serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet.
  • You can opt out of personalised advertising in Google's Ads Settings, and opt out of some other vendors' cookies at aboutads.info.

Affiliate links

Some links to VPN providers are affiliate links, and we may earn a commission if you buy through them. Once you follow one, you're on another company's website, under its own privacy policy. That company or its affiliate network may use cookies to record that you came from this site. We don't receive your name or payment details.

Who else handles data

  • Google provides analytics, advertising and web fonts. Loading our fonts from Google sends your IP address to Google.
  • Our hosting provider runs the servers this site is on.
  • Our email provider handles messages sent to us.

We don't sell your personal data. Google may process data outside the UK and EEA, under its own safeguards for international transfers.

Why we use this data

We rely on our legitimate interests in running, securing, measuring and funding this site, and in answering messages you send us.

How long we keep it

We keep server logs only as long as we need them for security and troubleshooting, and emails only as long as we need them to deal with what you wrote about. Google Analytics data is kept according to the retention setting on our account, then deleted.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct or delete your personal data, to object to or restrict how we use it, and to ask for a copy of it. Email us to make a request. If you're unhappy with how we've handled your data, you can complain to your local data protection authority, which in the UK is the Information Commissioner's Office.

Children

This site isn't aimed at children, and we don't knowingly collect their personal data.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we'll update it here and change the date at the top.
