Privacy
This site has no accounts and sets no cookies, and it runs no analytics or advertising. Here is what still passes through it.
When you open a page
Your browser asks our server for the page, and the request arrives with your IP address, as every request on the internet does. The server needs it to send the page back. The DownOrSlow software keeps no record of the visit: it writes no log of addresses or pages and has no store of visitors.
Where the network in front of our server reports the country you are in, a service page uses it only to choose which probes your own test is compared with. It is not kept.
When you time a service yourself
The button on a service page first times your connection to this site, then sends three small requests from your browser to each host it times for that service, without cookies. The provider sees your IP address, as it does whenever you use the service. The results stay on the page in your browser and are not sent to us.
When you write to us
We use your message and your email address to answer you, and for nothing else.
