Fillorin ("we", "our", or "us") operates the Speed Test
Android application. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it,
and how it is used.
By using Pulse, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
1. What Data We Collect
Pulse is a privacy-first app. No account is required, and we do not collect
any personal information such as your name, email address, or phone number.
The only data involved when you run a speed test is:
-
Your IP address: When Pulse starts, it uses your device's public IP address
to request an approximate geographic location (city/region level) from a third-party service
(ipapi.co). This is used only to find the nearest test servers — it is not stored by us.
-
Speed test traffic: During a test, your device downloads and uploads data
to/from test servers. This is standard network traffic and contains no personal information.
No test results are sent to Fillorin's servers.
All results stay on your device. Pulse stores nothing in the cloud and
maintains no user database.
2. How the Speed Test Works
When you run a test, Pulse:
- Fetches a list of public test servers from the LibreSpeed server registry.
- Uses your approximate IP location to rank nearby servers by latency and distance.
- Transfers data to/from the chosen server to measure download speed, upload speed, and ping.
- Displays the result on your screen.
None of these steps involve sending your results or personal data to Fillorin. The test
traffic goes directly between your device and the chosen test server.
3. Third-Party Services
Pulse connects to the following external services to function:
-
ipapi.co — provides approximate geographic coordinates from your public IP
address, used only for nearest-server ranking. Your IP is shared with ipapi.co during this
lookup.

-
LibreSpeed (librespeed.org) — an open-source server registry used to
discover available test servers. Pulse fetches the public server list from this registry.
LibreSpeed ↗
-
Cloudflare Speed (speed.cloudflare.com) — used as a fallback test
endpoint when no other server is available. Standard network traffic only.

-
LibreSpeed community servers — independent servers listed in the LibreSpeed
registry operated by third parties. Test traffic is exchanged directly with whichever server
is selected. Fillorin does not operate these servers and is not responsible for their
individual privacy practices.
We do not use advertising networks, analytics SDKs, or data brokers. We never sell your
data.
4. Data Retention
Fillorin does not store any data from Pulse users on our servers. Test results are displayed
on your device and not transmitted elsewhere. If you uninstall the app, no data from you
remains anywhere in our systems — because none was ever collected.
5. Children's Privacy
Pulse is a general-purpose utility suitable for all audiences. We do not knowingly collect
personal information from anyone, including children. Since no account or personal data is
required to use the app, there is no special risk to younger users.
6. Permissions
Pulse requires the following Android permission:
-
INTERNET — required to connect to test servers and perform speed tests.
No other permissions (location, contacts, storage, etc.) are requested.
7. Policy Updates
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the
"Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the app after changes
constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
