1. Overview
PCHardwareTest is designed to provide browser-based hardware tests. We aim to collect only the information needed to operate, secure, improve, and monetize the website.
2. Hardware test data
Where browser technology allows, microphone audio, webcam video, keyboard input, pointer activity, and similar test interactions are processed locally in your browser. Raw test recordings, images, or keystrokes are not intentionally uploaded to our servers as part of the basic hardware tests.
3. Permissions
Microphone and camera tests may request permission from your browser. You can deny these permissions, but the corresponding test may not be available.
4. Server logs and security information
Our hosting and security infrastructure may process standard request information such as IP address, timestamps, browser details, requested URLs, and error information for security, abuse prevention, troubleshooting, and service operation.
5. Cookies and similar technologies
PCHardwareTest may use essential cookies or similar storage for site functionality, security, preferences, or authentication where applicable.
If analytics or advertising services are enabled, third-party providers may use cookies or similar technologies subject to their own policies and the consent choices available on this website. Google and other advertising partners may use cookies to personalize or measure advertising where permitted by applicable settings and regulations.
6. Analytics
If Google Analytics or another analytics service is enabled, information about website usage may be processed to understand page views, test usage, errors, and general site performance. Analytics should be configured so that unnecessary personal or sensitive information is not sent.
7. Advertising
PCHardwareTest may use services such as Google AdSense, Adsterra, Monetag, or other advertising providers. These providers may process information according to their own privacy policies, including information related to advertising delivery, measurement, fraud prevention, or personalization where applicable.
8. Contact information
When you contact us, we may receive the information you choose to submit, such as your name, email address, and message. We use that information to respond to your request and operate support communications.
9. Data retention
Retention periods depend on the type of information and the reason it is processed. Security and operational logs may be retained for a limited period appropriate to their purpose. Contact messages may be retained as needed to handle support and business records.
10. Third-party services
Third-party services used by the website may have separate privacy practices. This may include hosting, analytics, advertising, consent management, fraud prevention, and security providers.
11. Your choices
You can control browser permissions for supported hardware access. Where a consent interface is provided, you can manage optional analytics or advertising choices according to the options presented.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when the website, services, or legal requirements change. The latest version will be published on this page with an updated date.
