This policy explains what happens to your information when you use ScreenTestHQ. The short version: the diagnostic tools themselves don't collect or store anything about you, and the only place you're asked to hand over any personal detail is the contact form, which you're never required to use.
Screen, camera, and microphone tests
Every screen test on this site (white screen, dead pixel, color contrast, and similar tools) runs entirely as code in your browser. No image of your screen is captured or transmitted anywhere.
Tools that request camera or microphone access, like the Webcam Test and Microphone Test, process that feed live in your browser tab to power the preview and level meter. That video or audio is never recorded, saved, or sent to a server. It stops the moment you tap Stop, close the tab, or switch to another tab.
Analytics
ScreenTestHQ uses Google Analytics to understand aggregate traffic, such as which tools get used and roughly how visitors arrive at the site. This data is collected in aggregate and isn't used to build a profile tied to you individually.
Advertising
This site may display advertising, including through Google AdSense, to help cover hosting and development costs. Advertising partners may use cookies or similar technology to serve ads and measure their performance. You can review or adjust ad personalization through Google's Ad Settings.
Cookies
Cookies on this site, where present, are limited to analytics and advertising purposes described above. The diagnostic tools themselves don't require cookies to function.
Contact form
If you use the contact form, the name, email address, and message you submit are sent through a third-party form processing service (Web3Forms) directly to my inbox, so I can reply to you. That information isn't added to a mailing list or used for anything beyond responding to your message.
Children's privacy
ScreenTestHQ isn't directed at children under 13, and the site doesn't knowingly collect personal information from them.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the update will be posted on this page with a revised date at the top. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the revised policy.
Questions
If anything here is unclear, reach out through the contact page and I'll answer directly.
