1. Overview
This Privacy Policy explains what information Spexo ("we," "us," "our") collects when you use spexo.xyz (the "Service"), how we use it, and the choices available to you. By using the Service, you agree to the practices described here.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Test data
To measure your connection, your browser exchanges real data with third-party network infrastructure (see Section 4). This includes technical values such as download speed, upload speed, ping, jitter, an approximate IP-based location, and your internet service provider's name — all of which are necessary to perform the test and are treated as your test data.
2.2 Test history
If you choose to keep test history, completed results are stored so you can review them later. This history is tied to your browser/account session and is not shared with other users.
2.3 Automatically collected information
Like most websites, we may automatically log standard technical information such as browser type, device type, general location (derived from IP address), and pages visited, typically through server logs and analytics tools.
2.4 Cookies and similar technologies
We and our third-party partners (including advertising and analytics providers) may use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies to remember preferences, measure site usage, and — where applicable — serve relevant advertising.
3. How We Use Information
- To run the speed test and display your results;
- To maintain your test history for your own reference;
- To understand aggregate usage and improve the Service;
- To detect, prevent, and address technical issues or abuse;
- To display advertising, including through Google AdSense (see Section 5).
4. Third-Party Network Services
To measure real throughput, your browser connects directly to third-party network infrastructure, including Cloudflare's public speed-test endpoints and one or more IP-lookup providers, to move data and determine your approximate network provider and location. These requests are made directly from your browser to those providers, and their own privacy practices govern that exchange. We do not control, and are not responsible for, the data-handling practices of these third-party network operators.
5. Advertising & Google AdSense
We use, or intend to use, Google AdSense to display advertising on this Service. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.
6. Cookie Choices
Optional analytics and Google advertising are consent-gated on Spexo. If you choose the “Only necessary” option in the consent banner, those optional services are not loaded by the site.
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings. Blocking cookies may affect how some parts of the Service function, but the core speed test will continue to work.
7. Data Retention
Test history is retained until you clear it yourself or it is automatically trimmed once a reasonable history limit is reached. Aggregate, non-identifying usage statistics may be retained indefinitely for analytics purposes.
8. Children's Privacy
The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.
9. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you, and to object to certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
11. Contact Us
Questions about this Privacy Policy can be sent to privacy@spexo.net, or via our Contact page.
This page is provided as a general template and does not constitute legal advice. Before publishing, please review it with a qualified professional to ensure it accurately reflects your data practices and complies with applicable law (e.g. GDPR, CCPA) in the regions where your users are located.
12. Speed-Test Data & Browser Controls
- Measurement data: download/upload throughput, latency, jitter, timing and related diagnostic values may be generated during a test.
- Network context: IP-based provider or approximate location information may be requested when needed to identify your ISP or test context.
- Local history: if test history is enabled, results may be retained in the browser or application storage so you can review previous tests.
- Device/browser information: standard technical information may be visible through normal web requests and server logs.
- Control: you can clear locally stored history and manage browser cookies/storage through your browser settings.
13. Security & Responsible Disclosure
We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards appropriate to the Service, but no internet service can guarantee absolute security. If you believe you have discovered a security issue, please report it through our Contact page rather than attempting to access or alter other users' data.
