📋 Overview

MyDeviceScan ("we", "us", or "our") operates the website at mydevicescan.com, including its internet speed test and IP lookup tools. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use our services, how we use it, and your rights regarding that data.

📦 Information We Collect

Automatically Collected Data

When you visit MyDeviceScan, our servers and third-party services may automatically record:

• Your IP address and approximate geographic location (country, city)
• Browser type, version, and operating system
• Pages visited and time spent on the site

Speed Test Data

When you run a speed test, the measured results (download speed, upload speed, ping, jitter) may be stored temporarily to display your test history. This data is stored locally in your browser's localStorage and is not sent to our servers.
