6. Sharing Your Data with Third Parties

6.1 No Sale or ISP Licensing

We do not sell, trade, or license your personal data to ISPs, internet service providers, hardware manufacturers, advertisers, or any other third parties. This sets Speedora.Net apart from many mainstream speed testing services, which often share test results with ISPs.

We use a small number of trusted third-party service providers to operate our service. These providers:

Host our servers, including Linnister Cloud's own infrastructure and, where necessary, third-party cloud providers.
Provide analytics services, anonymised only, with IP address anonymisation enabled.

We ensure that all third-party processors are bound by data processing agreements that enforce the same level of data protection.

We may disclose your personal data if required to do so by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request. Where permitted, we will notify you of such requests before disclosure.

7. International Data Transfers

Your personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries other than the country in which you are located. Where we transfer data to countries that are not recognised as providing an adequate level of data protection, we implement appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses together with supplementary technical and organisational measures.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at speedora@linnistercloud.com. We will respond within the timeframes required by applicable law.

If you believe your data protection rights have been violated, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority.

Encryption of data in transit using TLS or SSL.
Restricted access to personal data on a need-to-know basis.
Regular security assessments and vulnerability scans.
