Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 2026
HardwareTestingPro ("we," "us," "this site") operates hardwaretestingpro.com. This page explains what information is and isn't collected when you use our free browser-based hardware testing tools, and how advertising on this site works.
The Short Version
Every diagnostic tool on this site - keyboard testers, mouse testers, microphone testers, and everything else - runs entirely inside your own browser using standard web technology. Keystrokes, mouse movement, microphone audio, camera video, and similar test input are read directly by JavaScript running on your device and are never transmitted to our servers, logged, or stored. Closing the browser tab clears everything a tool was working with.
Information We Do Not Collect
We do not require account creation, and we do not ask for your name, email address, or any personal identifier to use any tool on this site. We do not record keystrokes, audio, video, or device sensor data from any testing tool. We do not sell personal data, because in the normal course of using our tools, we simply don't collect any to begin with.
Information That May Be Collected Automatically
Like most websites, our web server and hosting provider may automatically log standard technical information when you visit - such as your IP address, browser type, referring page, and timestamp - for basic security and server administration purposes. This is common server log data, not something we actively query, sell, or build profiles from.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
This site may use cookies and similar technologies for two purposes: remembering basic site preferences, and serving advertising through third-party ad networks such as Google AdSense. Some tools also make use of your browser's local storage (localStorage/sessionStorage) purely to support that specific tool's functionality on your own device - for example, remembering a setting you changed on a tool page. This data stays on your device and is not transmitted to us.
Advertising and Third-Party Vendors
We may display advertisements served by third-party advertising companies, including Google. Google and its partners may use cookies (including the DoubleClick DART cookie) to serve ads based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings, or by visiting www.aboutads.info to opt out of third-party vendor use of cookies for personalized advertising, where such tools are available in your region.
Third-party ad vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. This use of cookies enables Google and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet. We do not have direct control over the specific cookies third-party advertising networks place, and this policy does not cover their practices - please review Google's own advertising privacy policy for more detail.
Analytics
We may use standard web analytics services to understand aggregate, anonymized traffic patterns - for example, which pages are visited most often - to help improve the site. Analytics data is used in aggregate and is not linked back to any individual identity from our tools.
Third-Party Links
Some pages on this site link to external resources for further reading. We aren't responsible for the privacy practices or content of external websites; we encourage you to review the privacy policy of any third-party site you visit.
Children's Privacy
This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Since our tools don't collect personal information from any user in the normal course of testing hardware, this is consistent with how the site operates for all visitors.
Your Choices
You can control cookies through your browser's own settings, including blocking or deleting them. Doing so may affect how ads are personalized but will not affect the core functionality of any testing tool on this site, since those run independently of cookies.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy occasionally to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised "last updated" date.
