Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 8, 2025

Welcome to Gamepad-Tester.net ("we," "our," or "us"). This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use the website https://gamepad-tester.net ("Site"). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to the practices described below.

1. Core Principle: 100% Client-Side Testing

All gamepad-testing functionality runs entirely inside your own web browser.

  • No gamepad data - buttons, axes, device IDs, or drift metrics - ever leaves your device.
  • We do not transmit, store, or otherwise process any raw or derived gamepad inputs on our servers.

2. Information We Do Not Collect

  • No personal identifiers (name, email, address, phone number)
  • No gamepad or controller data (brand, model, button presses, joystick positions, vibration data)
  • No behavioral profiling based on your testing results

3. Information We May Collect Automatically

To keep the Site secure and reliable, our server may automatically log limited, non-identifying technical data, such as:

  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system
  • Referring page
  • IP address and timestamp (in standard web-server logs)

These logs are used solely for troubleshooting, aggregate statistics, and abuse prevention. They are retained for the shortest period reasonably necessary and are never linked to any gamepad data.

4. Cookies & Local Storage

  • Essential cookies / local-storage items may be set to remember simple preferences (e.g., dark mode)
  • No tracking or cross-site cookies are used

5. Third-Party Services

The Site is hosted on industry-standard infrastructure. These providers may process the minimal technical data mentioned above to deliver the website, subject to their own privacy policies. They do not process any gamepad data because none is sent.

6. Data Security

We implement HTTPS encryption, firewall rules, and principle-of-least-privilege access controls. Because gamepad inputs never leave your browser, the attack surface for sensitive data is effectively eliminated.

7. Children's Privacy

The Site is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal data, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted here with a new "Last updated" date. Continued use of the Site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.

9. Contact Us

If you have questions, concerns, or requests, please contact us.
