SwiftNetScanPrivacy Policy
Last updated: March 19, 2026
SwiftNetScan ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use our website at swiftnetscan.com (the "Service"), how we use it, and what rights you have regarding your data.
1. What SwiftNetScan Does
SwiftNetScan is a free, browser-based internet speed testing platform. Our tools measure your connection's download speed, upload speed, latency (ping), and jitter. We also provide educational guides about internet connectivity, troubleshooting, and networking concepts. No software installation is required — all tests run directly in your web browser.
2. Information We Collect
Speed Test Data
When you run a speed test, we process your test results (download speed, upload speed, ping, and jitter) to display them to you in real time. We may store anonymized, aggregated test data to analyze regional internet performance trends and improve our testing methodology. We do not associate individual speed test results with personally identifiable information unless you are logged in with a voluntary account.
Automatically Collected Technical Information
Like most websites, our servers automatically collect certain technical information when you visit, including:
- Browser type and version
- Operating system and device type
- Screen resolution
- Referring URL (the page that linked you to us)
- Pages visited on our site and time spent
- General geographic region (country/city level, derived from IP address)
Your IP address is used transiently during speed tests to route network traffic to the appropriate test servers. We do not permanently store raw IP addresses in our analytics databases.
Contact Information
If you contact us via email or our contact page, we collect the information you voluntarily provide (such as your name, email address, and message content) solely to respond to your inquiry. We do not add you to marketing lists without your explicit consent.

7. Data Sharing
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personally identifiable information to outside parties. We may share anonymized, aggregated data (such as average internet speeds by region or country) with partners, researchers, or the public for informational and research purposes.
We may disclose information if required by law, regulation, or legal process, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others.
8. Data Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the data we collect, including encryption of data in transit (HTTPS) and restricted access to databases. However, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your data.
9. Data Retention
Anonymized, aggregated speed test data may be retained indefinitely for statistical and research purposes. Contact information is retained only as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry, after which it is deleted. Analytics data is retained according to the policies of our analytics providers.
