Privacy Policy
Effective / Last Updated: October 22, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains what information wetestit.live ("the Site", "we", "us", "our") collects when you use our free browser-based device testing tools, how that information is used, and the choices you have. It is written to reflect exactly what the Site's code does today.

1. Who We Are
wetestit.live is a free set of browser-based hardware/peripheral testing tools. This policy
covers the website at wetestit.live and its subdomains.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Information You Provide Directly
The Site never asks for your name, email address, phone number, or payment details.
The only place you can type something that is sent to us is the optional Feedback button on the home page. If you submit feedback, the text you enter is sent from your browser to a Google Apps Script web app that we operate, which records it in our Google account so we can read it. Nothing else is attached by us (no identifiers, test results, or device data), although, as with any web request, Google receives your IP address and browser information when your browser contacts it. Please don't include personal information in your feedback.
2.2 Information Processed Automatically (Not Stored)
Like virtually all websites, our server and the reverse proxy in front of it necessarily process certain technical information for every request in order to route, operate, and secure the Site, including:
- Your IP address (received via standard proxy headers)
- Browser user-agent string
- The page/resource requested and the time of the request
- Referring page, where sent by your browser
This happens only in the moment, to route the request, keep the Site available, and detect abuse. We do not write this information to a persistent, searchable log, database, or file that we can look up later for a specific visitor, and it is not used to build advertising profiles by us directly.
2.3 Cookies We Set Ourselves
None. The Site does not set any cookies of its own. The only cookies involved are those set by Google AdSense, described in the cookie table below.
2.4 Real-Time, In-Browser Test Data
Some tools open a temporary WebSocket connection to our server for real-time interaction (for example, measuring network latency). Your browser sends a timestamp, the server immediately echoes it back, and your browser calculates the result locally to draw a chart. This data is not written to a database, not logged, and not associated with your IP address or any identifier beyond the life of that single connection.
2.5 On-Device Data That Never Leaves Your Browser
Several tools request access to device APIs purely to display results back to you, in your own browser. None of the following is ever transmitted to, or stored on, our servers:
- Camera or microphone access: where a tool requests it (with your browser's permission prompt), media processing and playback for testing occur locally in your browser/device context. We do not upload, stream, or store this media on our servers.
- Hardware and performance diagnostics: measurement and benchmark-style workloads run locally in your browser/device context. Results are displayed locally and are not sent to our servers.
- Network/IP diagnostics: some tools use your browser's WebRTC APIs to detect IP addresses your network adapters expose to browser-based tools, purely as a diagnostic display. This happens entirely client-side.
- Device/browser information: some tools read publicly available browser/JavaScript properties (e.g. screen resolution, pixel ratio, estimated CPU/RAM, platform string, and WebGL-reported GPU info) and display them to you. This information is not sent to our servers.
- Battery status: where your browser supports the Battery Status API, a tool may read your device's reported battery level/charging state and chart it locally.
- Content you build or save locally: anything you create with an editor-style tool (e.g. a custom layout or configuration) is held in your browser and only leaves your device if you explicitly click "Download"/"Copy," or choose to upload a file you saved earlier.
2.6 Advertising Cookies & Data (Google AdSense)
We show ads through Google AdSense to help cover hosting costs. Google, as a third-party vendor, and its advertising partners may use cookies (including cookies such as the DoubleClick/Google Ads cookie) and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites, and to measure ad performance. This can involve Google receiving your IP address, browser/device information, and interactions with ads. This processing is carried out by Google under its own privacy policy. We do not control ad personalization ourselves; to actually manage or opt out of it, visit Google Ads Settings directly (see also Section 12).
2.7 Other Third-Party Content (CDNs)
A few pages load supporting libraries directly from third-party content delivery networks rather than from our own server:
- Chart.js: served from jsDelivr (used to render charts for some tools)
- Font Awesome: served from cdnjs/Cloudflare (used for icons)
Loading any resource from a third-party server inherently exposes your IP address and browser user-agent to that provider, in the same way it would for any website that links to an external file. We do not control, and are not responsible for, those providers' own data practices, but none of these specific libraries are used by us to track you across sites.
3. Cookies We Use
| Cookie | Set By | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Google/DoubleClick advertising cookies | Google AdSense (third party) | Ad delivery, frequency capping, and (where applicable) ad personalization. | Advertising | Set by Google; see Google's policies |
We do not use any analytics cookies (e.g. Google Analytics) and we do not run any tracking pixels of our own.
4. How We Use Information
- To operate, maintain, and secure the Site (e.g., detecting abusive traffic).
- To read and act on feedback you choose to send us.
- To display advertising through Google AdSense, which helps fund free access to the testing tools.
- To diagnose bugs and performance issues in real time; we do not maintain persistent server logs to review later.
We do not use any information collected to build advertising profiles ourselves, and we do not sell personal information.
5. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)
Where the GDPR/UK GDPR applies, we rely on the following legal bases:
- Legitimate interests: for the momentary processing of technical request data, necessary to keep the Site functional and secure.
- Consent: for non-essential advertising cookies, where required by your location. The Site does not currently display its own cookie-consent banner; see Section 12 for the controls available to manage or opt out of ad personalization.
- Explicit device permission: for camera, microphone, and battery status access, which your browser will only grant after you actively approve a permission prompt.
6. Who We Share Information With
We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information. Limited data is collected by:
- Google (AdSense): to serve advertising, as described above.
- Google (Apps Script): only if you submit feedback, to receive and store the text you send (see Section 2.1).
- Content delivery networks (jsDelivr, cdnjs/Cloudflare): only in the sense that your browser fetches library files directly from them.
- Our hosting/reverse-proxy infrastructure: processes connections purely to deliver the Site to you and to protect it from abuse.
7. Data Retention
We do not maintain persistent server or security logs beyond the momentary processing needed to handle and secure each request (see Section 2.2). We also do not maintain a user database, so there is no account or profile data to retain. Feedback you choose to submit is kept until we have reviewed it and no longer need it. Cookies persist on your device for the durations listed in the cookie table unless you clear them sooner.
8. Data Security
- All traffic is served over HTTPS.
- The Site has no accounts, forms, or endpoints that store or change data on our servers.
No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Camera, Microphone & Other Device Permissions
Any tool that uses your camera or microphone only activates them after your browser asks for, and you grant, permission. Video and audio are handled locally in your browser/device for testing purposes (for example, rendered previews or visual diagnostics). Media used by these tools remains on-device/in-browser and is not uploaded or retained on our servers. You can revoke camera/microphone permission at any time through your browser's site settings, which will immediately stop the relevant tool from functioning.
10. Children's Privacy
Our Site and testing tools are not directed at children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of consent in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can address it.
11. Your Privacy Rights (GDPR / CCPA / CPRA)
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- Know what personal information (if any) we hold about you;
- Request access to, correction of, or deletion of that information;
- Object to or restrict certain processing, including opting out of personalized advertising;
- Not be discriminated against for exercising these rights.
We do not maintain user accounts or profiles, and we do not keep a persistent, per-visitor log of the technical request data described in Section 2.2, so we typically have nothing on file to access, correct, or delete, apart from any feedback text you chose to submit. If you have a privacy question or request (including about advertising cookies), contact us using the details in Section 15. We do not sell personal information for money. We do use third-party advertising (Google AdSense), which may be considered "sharing" of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising under the CPRA; see Section 12 to opt out of personalized advertising at any time.
12. Advertising Choices & Opt-Out
Wherever you're located, you have several ways to control ad personalization directly with Google:
- Google's own controls: Google Ads Settings
- Industry opt-out tools: aboutads.info (US) and Your Online Choices (EU)
- Learn how Google uses data from sites that use its services: How Google Uses Data
- Your browser's own cookie and site-permission settings, which let you block or delete cookies at any time.
13. International Data Transfers
Our hosting/reverse-proxy infrastructure and the third-party CDNs and advertising providers described above may process data on servers located outside of your own country, including in the United States. Where required, such transfers rely on the safeguards those providers make available (for example, Google's standard contractual clauses for AdSense).
14. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the Site or legal requirements. The "Effective / Last Updated" date at the top of this page will always reflect the latest revision.
