Overview & Scope

This Privacy Policy governs the use of the Speed Test Lite mobile application (package identifier com.speedtestlite) developed and published by SK Studio. Our application provides real-time internet speed testing—including Ping (RTT), Reliable DNS Server Round-Trip Time (RTT in milliseconds), Jitter, Download Mbps, Upload Mbps, 1 GB file download time estimation, and broadband category ratings—while maintaining strict user privacy and full compliance with Google Play Developer Program Policies and Google AdMob Publisher Policies.

Section 02

Personal Data & Account Privacy

Speed Test Lite does not require user registration and does not directly collect, store, or sell personal identity information:

  • No Personal Identity or Contact Data: We do not request, collect, or access your name, email address, phone number, address book contacts, photos, media files, or account credentials.
  • No Precise GPS Location: We do not request or use fine or coarse GPS location permissions (ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION or ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION).
  • No Background Tracking: Network tests and diagnostics run strictly while the app is open on your screen.
Section 03 — Updated Ads Privacy Policy

Advertising, Google AdMob SDK & Data Safety Disclosure

To keep Speed Test Lite 100% free of charge for all users, the application uses the official Google Mobile Ads SDK (Google AdMob) to display advertisements within the app.

Ad Formats Used in Speed Test Lite
  • App Open Ads: Displayed when launching or resuming the application. If an ad is unavailable, the app proceeds immediately without blocking access.
  • Interstitial Ads: Displayed at natural transition points (such as clicking the Restart button, capped at a maximum of once every 30 seconds, or periodic intervals). If an ad does not load on a single attempt, the speed test continues immediately.
  • Bottom Banner Ads: Displayed in a dedicated, separated container fixed at the bottom of the screen so it never overlaps speed test controls.

Data Collected & Processed Automatically by Google AdMob:

  • Android Advertising ID (com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID): Used by Google AdMob for ad delivery, frequency capping, invalid traffic detection, and aggregate ad performance measurement.
  • Android Privacy Sandbox AdServices: On supported Android devices, the Google Mobile Ads SDK uses standard AdServices signals to deliver relevant advertisements.
  • Device & Network Signals for Ad Delivery: Google AdMob processes basic device information, screen size, coarse IP-based region, and ad interaction events (ad impressions and clicks) for ad serving and fraud prevention.
  • Encryption & Data Protection: All advertising requests and diagnostics transmitted by the SDK are encrypted in transit using HTTPS/TLS in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy.
Section 04

How Speed Testing, DNS Latency (RTT) & Network Diagnostics Work

  • Bandwidth & Latency Measurement: When you run a speed test, the app performs ephemeral network requests to measure Ping (ms), Jitter (ms), Download speed (Mbps), and Upload speed (Mbps).
  • DNS Server Latency (Ping RTT Test): To display real-time round-trip time (RTT) in milliseconds (ms), the app measures network packet round-trip latency to public DNS servers. No browsing history or personal DNS queries are logged, stored, or collected.
  • On-Device Network Inspection: Connection status (Connected/Offline), active transport (Wi-Fi, 5G, 4G, Ethernet), local IPv4 address, default gateway IP, network interface name, and SIM/network operator name are queried locally from Android system APIs and shown exclusively on your device screen.
  • Offline Detection & Helper Prompt: If your internet connection is turned off, the app detects the offline state locally and provides a shortcut button to open your device's standard Android Wi-Fi / Internet settings panel.
  • App Signing & License Verification: The app verifies its cryptographic build signature at runtime and uses Google Play Licensing (com.android.vending.CHECK_LICENSE) to protect users against tampered or unauthorized APK distributions.
Section 05
