Privacy Policy

Dumpster Hill, LLC ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information in connection with our website and diagnostic services.

Key Principle: We operate a "privacy-first" application that processes diagnostic data in real-time without storing personal information. However, we use Google AdSense for advertising, which may collect limited data such as device identifiers and ad interactions, as detailed in Section 6.

When you use our diagnostic tools, we temporarily process:

• Your IP address (automatically provided by your internet connection)
• Browser and device information (user agent, screen resolution)
• Network information (ISP, geolocation, DNS settings)
• Connection metrics (latency, stability measurements)

This information is processed in real-time to provide diagnostic results and is not stored permanently on our servers.

Note: We use Google AdSense for advertising, which may collect certain data such as device identifiers, ad interaction data, and IP addresses, as described in Section 6.

The Site's core functionality does NOT collect:

• Personal identifying information (name, email, phone number)
• User accounts or login credentials
• Browsing history or tracking cookies (beyond AdSense)
• Detailed usage analytics or behavioral tracking data
• Test results or diagnostic history
• Location data (beyond IP-based geolocation for diagnostics)

The information we temporarily process is used solely to:

• Display your current network information
• Perform diagnostic tests you request
• Provide DNS resolution services
• Detect browser features and capabilities
• Test connection stability and latency

Cloudflare: Our site uses Cloudflare for content delivery, DDoS protection, and DNS resolution services. Cloudflare may process your IP address and connection information according to their privacy policy. Visit cloudflare.com/privacypolicy for more information.

DNS Services: When using our DNS resolution tool, queries are sent to public DNS servers (such as Cloudflare DNS) to retrieve domain information.

Our Site integrates Google AdSense, a third-party service provided by Google, to display advertisements. Google AdSense collects and uses data to provide personalized advertisements based on your interests and activity. Data collected may include:

• Device identifiers (e.g., Advertising ID on Android or IDFA on iOS, if permitted by your device settings)
• IP addresses (used for location targeting and fraud prevention)
• Ad interaction data (e.g., clicks or views)
• Information about your interests and browsing activity across apps and websites

This data is used to serve personalized advertisements and is governed by Google's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. We do not control or have access to the data collected by Google AdSense.

Consent and Control: For users in regions like the EU, we use Google's User Messaging Platform to obtain consent for AdSense's data collection, as required by laws like GDPR. You may opt out of personalized ads via your device settings (e.g., disabling personalized ads on Android or limiting ad tracking on iOS) or by visiting Google's ad settings page.

Regional Compliance: We comply with applicable privacy laws, including GDPR and CCPA, by obtaining necessary consent and relying on Google AdSense's compliance mechanisms for advertising.

No Persistent Storage: We do not store test results, diagnostic data, or user information. All processing happens in real-time, and data is discarded after being displayed to you.

Server Logs: Standard server logs may temporarily contain IP addresses for security and troubleshooting purposes. These logs are automatically rotated and deleted within 7 days.

Our site does not use tracking cookies or persistent local storage beyond what is required by Google AdSense. Any temporary browser storage used is limited to maintaining functionality during your session.

We do not share, sell, rent, or disclose any user-generated diagnostic data to third parties because we do not store such data.

Since diagnostic data is processed in real-time:

• No diagnostic data is transmitted to our servers for storage
• No data is shared with analytics companies (beyond AdSense)
• The Site's core functionality does not use data for advertising purposes; however, Google AdSense may collect limited data for contextual ads as described in Section 6
• No diagnostic data is sold to third parties

Legal Disclosure: We may disclose information if required by law or in response to valid legal requests from authorities.

We implement reasonable security measures including:

• HTTPS encryption for all connections
• Cloudflare DDoS protection
• Regular security updates and monitoring
• Minimal data retention policies

Your data security also depends on your device's security measures. We recommend using device lock screens, PINs, or biometric authentication, and keeping your device's operating system updated.

Since we do not store personal diagnostic data:

• There is no personal diagnostic data to access, modify, or delete
• No opt-out is necessary for diagnostic services as we do not track users
• You can use our services anonymously
• Your browser controls what information is sent to us
• You can control ad personalization through your device settings or Google's ad settings

Our services do not knowingly collect information from children. Since we do not collect or store personal information beyond what AdSense collects, no special parental consent mechanisms are required for our diagnostic services. Parents should supervise their children's device usage according to their own family policies.

Our services are hosted in the United States. By using our site, you consent to the processing of information in the United States. We comply with applicable international privacy laws including GDPR and CCPA through our minimal data collection approach and Google AdSense's compliance mechanisms.

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. When we make changes:

• We will update the "Last Updated" date
• We will provide notice through the Site
• Continued use constitutes acceptance of the updated policy
