The RTR-NetTest app can be used only after explicit consent to RTR’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Use for the RTR-NetTest. Note that the IP address is transferred, among others also to third countries (thus outside of the EU and the EEA) for which neither an adequacy decision nor appropriate safeguards exist. For further details see item 1.2.1.3.
RTR offers users the opportunity to use the RTR-NetTest. Under 14 years can use the RTR-NetTest with the consent of their legal guardian. RTR’s legal authorisation to offer the RTR-NetTest is enshrined in Art 46 Par 5 and Par 6 and Art 48 Telecommunications Act 2021 as well as Art 5 Par. 1 Regulation (EU) 2015/2120 ("TSM regulation"). To fulfil this duty and ensure users with the greatest possible transparency and information – while respecting their privacy – the RTR-NetTest is based on the open source and open data principle.

The transfer of data to Google, Cloudflare and Microsoft is based on adequacy decisions of the Commission - according to Art 45 General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Regarding Quad9 neither an adequacy decisions nor appropriate safeguards according to Art 46 GDPR exist. A possible risk of such a transfer is that the IP address of the user is transferred to Quad9 and thus conclusions on the executing of the RTR-NetTest may be drawn.
The IP address, the WLAN network ID (SSID) and numerical WLAN ID (BSSID) are stored by RTR for a maximum period of six months. In any case the Client UUID will be deleted with the final termination of the RTR-NetTest.
