At Pulse Net Check (pulsenetcheck.com), your privacy is a core principle — not an afterthought. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and what we do not do with it.
1. Information We Do Not Collect
We do not:
- Store your IP address on our servers
- Log your geographic location or ISP information
- Save your speed test results
- Create user accounts or profiles
- Sell, rent, or share personal data with third parties for commercial purposes
- Use tracking cookies to follow you across other websites
2. How Our Tools Work
Our IP lookup tool makes client-side requests from your browser to third-party geolocation APIs (such as ipapi.co and ip-api.com). These requests reveal your IP address to those services, which is necessary to return your location data. We do not intercept or store the responses — they are displayed directly in your browser and discarded when you close or refresh the page.
Our speed test connects directly from your browser to Cloudflare's speed test infrastructure (speed.cloudflare.com). We do not see or store your speed results. Cloudflare's own privacy policy governs any data they collect from these connections.
3. Cookies
We use minimal, functional cookies only. We do not use advertising cookies or cross-site tracking cookies of our own. Third-party services embedded on our site (Google AdSense, Leaflet maps, CDN-hosted libraries) may set their own cookies governed by their respective privacy policies.
4. Google AdSense
We display advertisements provided by Google AdSense to help fund the free operation of this service. Google may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ad Settings or by visiting aboutads.info.
5. Third-Party Services
Our site uses the following third-party services:
- ipapi.co — IP geolocation data
- ip-api.com — Fallback IP geolocation
- Cloudflare Speed — Speed test infrastructure
- Leaflet / OpenStreetMap — Interactive map display
- Google AdSense — Advertisement delivery
Each of these services has its own privacy policy and data handling practices. We recommend reviewing them if you have concerns about their data collection.
6. Analytics
We may use privacy-respecting analytics (such as aggregate page view counts) to understand how our tools are being used and to improve the service. This does not involve collecting personally identifiable information.
7. Children's Privacy
Pulse Net Check is not directed at children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect any information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will promptly address the issue.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
