Privacy policy
This policy applies to UKSpeedTest.co.uk (“Pulse”). We are committed to handling your data in a transparent, lawful way.
Who we are
Pulse is operated by SearchSwitchSave.com. The speed test runs in your browser and is aimed at UK consumers and small businesses.
What we process and why
- IP address: Used briefly to show you your network details and to run the test. We do not store it in the application. Our hosting provider may keep standard server logs for security and reliability.
- Speed test: The test runs entirely in your browser. We do not receive or store your speed results or precise location on our servers.
- Approximate location: To show you an approximate location (e.g. city or region), the page may request information from a third-party service based on your IP address. That service may process your IP; we do not store it or any precise coordinates.
- Analytics: If you have accepted cookies/analytics, we may use a third-party analytics provider to understand how the site is used (e.g. page views). That may involve processing of identifiers. We do not use analytics to store speed test results or to identify you personally.
Lawful basis
Where we or our partners process personal data, we rely on consent (e.g. for non-essential analytics) or legitimate interests (e.g. security, improving the service), as applicable under UK GDPR.
Retention
We do not retain your speed test data or IP address on our systems. Any analytics data is subject to our analytics provider’s retention policy; we do not keep it longer than necessary for the stated purposes.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law you have rights including: access, rectification, erasure, restriction, and objection. To exercise them, contact us using the details on SearchSwitchSave.com. You also have the right to complain to the ICO (ico.org.uk).
