Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

At Speed Index, your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you register for or use our URL indexing service at speedindex.pro.

By using Speed Index, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

2. Information We Collect

We collect the following information when you register or use our services:

• Account information — email address, name, and securely hashed password
• Usage data — URLs submitted for indexing, submission timestamps, credits used, and API response data
• Payment information — payment method, transaction reference, and proof screenshots. We do not store credit card, debit card, or payment credentials on our servers
• Technical data — IP address (for rate limiting and abuse prevention), session data, and browser information

3. How We Use Your Information

Information collected is used exclusively to:

• Provide and operate the URL indexing service
• Manage your account, credits, and payment requests
• Send transactional emails (verification, password reset, payment confirmation)
• Prevent abuse, fraud, and unauthorised access
• Improve platform performance and user experience
• Send product updates and newsletters — only if you have subscribed

4. URL & Content Data

URLs submitted for indexing are processed automatically and forwarded to Google's official Indexing API on your behalf. We do not analyse, modify, sell, or share your submitted URLs or website content with any third party beyond what is necessary to deliver the service.

5. Payments

Payment processing is handled manually via bank transfer or cryptocurrency. We do not store credit card, debit card, or payment credentials on our servers. Payment proof screenshots are stored securely and used solely for verification purposes.

6. Cookies

We use session cookies solely for authentication — to keep you securely logged in during your session. We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or third-party analytics cookies. No cookie consent banner is required as we use only essential functional cookies.

You may disable cookies in your browser settings, though this will prevent you from staying logged in.

7. Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal data to third parties. We share information only in the following limited circumstances:

• Google Indexing API — submitted URLs are sent to Google as part of the core service
• Email delivery — your email address is used via our SMTP provider to send transactional messages
• Legal requirements — when required by law or to protect our legal rights

8. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data, including:

• HTTPS/TLS encryption for all data in transit
• Bcrypt password hashing — your password is never stored in plain text
• CSRF token protection on all forms
• Rate limiting on all public-facing endpoints
• Prepared SQL statements to prevent injection attacks

9. Data Retention

We retain your account data and submission history for as long as your account remains active. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us. Submission logs may be retained for up to 90 days after account deletion for security and abuse-prevention purposes.

10. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of your account and data
• Unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us.

11. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to third-party platforms (such as Google). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to review their respective privacy policies.

12. Policy Updates

This policy may be updated at any time. We will notify registered users of significant changes by email. Continued use of Speed Index after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
