Privacy Policy
Effective Date: January 1, 2026 • Last Revised: March 2026
1. Overview & Commitment to Privacy
gtmetrix.in ("we," "our," or "us," operating via gtmetrix.in) provides web performance diagnostic tooling, Core Web Vitals telemetry, and frontend optimization services. We hold a strict "Zero Unnecessary Data Collection" principle. We do not sell, rent, or monetize personal user data, nor do we deploy third-party advertising tracking pixels across our platform.
2. Information We Process When You Run an Audit
When you utilize our free web speed audit engine, our systems process the following information:
- Publicly Accessible URLs: The website URL you submit is retrieved and inspected by Google Lighthouse and our server-side diagnostic engines. We only analyze publicly accessible web content.
- Network Telemetry & Anonymized Headers: To prevent abuse, enforce fair usage (5 free live audits per IP per day), and mitigate distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attempts, our servers log temporary network telemetry, including client IP addresses and user-agent strings. These logs are purged automatically on a rolling 7-day schedule.
- Public Performance Reports: Completed audit metrics (LCP, INP, CLS, TTFB, screenshots, and resource waterfall analyses) are cached on our servers to eliminate redundant testing overhead.
3. Information You Voluntarily Provide
When you contact our engineering team via our contact form or send an email to seo@gtmetrix.com, you provide your name, email address, website details, and inquiry notes. This information is used strictly to communicate with you regarding your speed audit, answer technical questions, or execute contracted optimization sprints.
4. Cookies & Local Storage
gtmetrix.in operates without intrusive marketing cookies. We do not employ third-party advertising trackers, cross-site profiling scripts, or behavioral data brokers. Any client-side cookies or localStorage items used are strictly technical (for session rate-limiting, dark/light theme persistence, and active device view preferences).
5. Compliance with the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act 2023
For users and entities located in India, we process data in strict accordance with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023. You have the right to request access to any personal correspondence we hold, request rectification, or request complete deletion of cached speed audit reports associated with your proprietary domain.
6. Data Security Measures
All communication between your browser and gtmetrix.in is encrypted using industry-standard TLS 1.3 encryption. We enforce HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), Content Security Policies (CSP), and hardened X-Frame-Options to safeguard user interactions against eavesdropping and man-in-the-middle attacks.
7. Requesting Domain Report Removal
If you are the verified webmaster of a website tested on gtmetrix.in and wish to remove the publicly accessible cached performance report from our index, you may submit a removal request by emailing our designated privacy desk at seo@gtmetrix.com with proof of domain ownership. Requests are honored within 48 business hours.
