Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how Speed in China ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit speedinchinaplugin.com (the "Website") or use the Speed in China WordPress plugin (the "Plugin"). Together, these are referred to as the "Service." For the Plugin, the EULA and Refund Policy also apply.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information You Provide

When you contact support, sign up for updates, or use the Plugin, we may collect:

• Name and email address
• Support correspondence
• Site URL and plugin usage (only with opt-in telemetry; see Section 5)

1.2 Information Collected Automatically

When you visit our Website, we may automatically collect:

• IP address, browser type, operating system, and referring URL
• Pages viewed and usage data
• Cookie data (see Section 4 below)

1.3 Plugin Data

The Speed in China plugin itself collects the following data to provide its features:

• Your site URL — sent to the Globalping API (api.globalping.io) to perform speed tests from mainland China servers
• Speed test results — stored locally in your WordPress database (never transmitted to us)
• Google Fonts data — when localization is enabled, the plugin downloads font files from Google's servers and stores them locally on your server. No font data is sent to us.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use collected information to operate and improve the Service, respond to support requests, send relevant updates (with your consent), and comply with legal obligations.

3. Data Retention

We retain information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy or as required by law. Speed test results stored in your WordPress database are under your control and can be deleted at any time.

4. Cookies

Our Website may use cookies and similar technologies for essential functionality, analytics, and preferences. You can control cookies through your browser settings.

5. Third-Party Services

The Service uses the following third-party services, each governed by their own privacy policies:

Service	Purpose	Data Shared
Globalping (globalping.io)	Speed testing infrastructure — servers in mainland China perform HTTP requests to your site	Your site URL (publicly accessible)
Freemius (freemius.com)	Plugin licensing, checkout, subscription management, and opt-in telemetry	Email, site URL, license key (with consent for telemetry: plugin version, PHP version, WP version)
Google Analytics	Website traffic analysis (Website only)	Standard analytics data (IP, browser, pages viewed)

Freemius telemetry is opt-in only — it is never enabled without your explicit consent. You can opt in or out at any time from your WordPress dashboard.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or port your personal data, or to object to or restrict processing. Contact us to exercise these rights.

7. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction.

8. Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the latest revision. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance.
