At gamepadtester.co , we care about your privacy. We believe your data should stay yours, and you should always know what’s happening behind the scenes. This Privacy Policy outlines the type of information we collect (or don’t collect), how we handle it, and what you can expect when using our site.
By using this gamepad tester, you agree to the terms outlined in this Privacy Policy.
1. Controller Input Data
When you test your controller on our site, the inputs (such as button presses, joystick movements, trigger pressure, etc.) are only read locally using your browser’s native Gamepad API. Here’s what that means:
- No controller data is stored, sent, or shared.
- Your inputs are processed in real-time and only in your browser session.
- Once you leave the page or close your browser, all input data is gone.
We do not record, save, or analyze your gameplay inputs in any way.
2. Personal Data
We do not directly collect or require personally identifiable information such as your name, email address, or account details.
However, limited technical information (such as anonymized IP address, device type, browser, and approximate location) may be processed by third-party services like Google Analytics for analytics purposes only.
We do not use this data to personally identify users.
