Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 22, 2026

1. Overview

GPad Tester ("we", "us", "our") operates gpadtester.org. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data.

TL;DR: We process all gamepad data locally on your device. We do not collect, transmit, or store any controller input data or test results.

2. Information We Do NOT Collect

GPad Tester is designed with privacy as a core principle. We do not collect:

  • Gamepad input data (buttons, sticks, triggers, gyroscope readings)
  • Test results or diagnostic scores
  • Controller model or hardware identifiers
  • Audio or microphone data
  • Personal information through our testing tools

3. Information We May Collect

Like most websites, we may collect limited, anonymized data through standard web technologies:

  • Analytics data: We may use privacy-focused analytics (e.g., Google Analytics) to understand general traffic patterns, page views, and common browser/device types. This data is aggregated and cannot identify individual users.
  • Server logs: Our hosting provider may automatically collect IP addresses, browser type, and request timestamps in server logs for security and performance purposes.
  • Contact form data: If you use our contact form, your name, email, and message are sent via your email client (mailto link) and are not stored on our servers.

4. Local Storage

GPad Tester uses your browser's localStorage to save:

  • Theme preference (dark/light mode)
  • User preferences for testing tools (e.g., deadzone thresholds)

This data stays on your device and is never transmitted to our servers. You can clear it at any time through your browser's settings.

5. Cookies

GPad Tester itself does not set cookies. However, third-party services (e.g., analytics providers) may set their own cookies. You can control cookie behavior through your browser settings.

6. Third-Party Services

We may use the following third-party services:

  • Google Analytics: For anonymized traffic analysis. Google Privacy Policy
  • Hosting provider: For serving website content. Server logs are managed by our hosting provider.

7. Children's Privacy

GPad Tester does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Our testing tools do not require any personal information to use.

8. Data Security

Since we don't collect gamepad data, there's minimal risk of data breaches affecting our users' testing information. Our website is served over HTTPS to ensure secure communication.

9. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights regarding your personal data, including:

  • Right to access your data
  • Right to request deletion of your data
  • Right to opt out of analytics tracking
  • Right to data portability

Since we collect minimal data, most of these rights are automatically satisfied. For any data-related requests, please contact us.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated policy on this page and update the "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
