Privacy Policy
Effective date: May 2, 2025 · keytest.info
Overview
KeyTest (keytest.info) is a free, browser-based tool that lets you test your keyboard, mouse, and microphone directly in your web browser — no account and no download required.
This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected when you visit keytest.info, how it is used, and what choices you have. By using this website, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
Advertising & Cookies (Summary)
KeyTest displays advertisements served by Google AdSense, a third-party advertising network operated by Google LLC. To deliver these ads, Google and its partners may place cookies (including the DoubleClick DART cookie) on your device and use information about your visits to keytest.info and other sites to show you personalised advertising.
Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info. For full details on how Google uses information from sites that use its services, see Google's "How Google uses information" page.
The detailed sections below explain exactly which cookies are used, what data is collected, and how to manage or opt out of each one.
Information We Collect
KeyTest does not ask you to create an account or submit personal information. All keyboard, mouse, microphone, and typing features run entirely in your browser — your keystrokes, clicks, audio, and cursor movements are processed locally on your device and are never sent to our servers.
However, like most websites, our hosting server automatically records standard log data when you visit:
- IP address
- Browser type and version
- Pages visited and time of visit
- Referring website
This data is used only for server administration and security. It is not linked to your identity.
In addition, third-party services described below (Google Analytics, Google AdSense) may collect data about your visit through cookies and similar technologies. Please read their sections carefully.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. KeyTest uses both first-party and third-party cookies:
First-party (functional) cookies and storage:
kt-theme— stores your light/dark mode preference in localStorage.sidebar:state— remembers whether the sidebar is open or closed.
These contain no personal data and are never shared with anyone.
Third-party cookies:
Google Analytics and Google AdSense place their own cookies on your device (see the sections below). You can opt out of these or manage them through your browser settings or the options described in each section.
Google Analytics
KeyTest uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information about how visitors use the site, such as pages visited, time spent on the site, and general location (country/region level). This information is used to understand traffic patterns and improve the website.
Google Analytics does not receive your name, email address, or any directly identifying information. The data collected is aggregated and anonymous at the individual level.
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by:
- Installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on
- Enabling "Do Not Track" in your browser settings
- Adjusting your Google ad settings at adssettings.google.com
For more information on how Google handles Analytics data, visit Google's Privacy Policy.
Google AdSense and Advertising
KeyTest uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google AdSense uses cookies — including the DoubleClick DART cookie — to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and other sites on the internet. This is known as interest-based or personalised advertising.
The DoubleClick DART cookie allows Google to serve ads to you based on your visit to keytest.info and other websites. Google uses this cookie to improve ad relevance for you.
You can opt out of personalised advertising from Google by visiting Google's Ads Settings or by visiting aboutads.info. You can also opt out through the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.
Note that opting out does not prevent ads from appearing — it means the ads you see will not be personalised based on your interests.
For more information, see Google's Advertising Privacy Policy.
Google Fonts
This site loads fonts from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com). When your browser requests a font, Google receives your IP address as part of the standard HTTP request. Google Fonts does not use font requests to track or identify individual users. See Google Fonts Privacy FAQ for details.
Microphone Access
The Mic Tester feature requests permission to access your microphone, but only if you explicitly click "Enable Microphone." Your browser will show a permission prompt first. Audio is processed entirely within your browser using the Web Audio API — it is never streamed to or stored on any server. Any recording you make stays in your browser's memory until you leave the page.
Third-Party Privacy Policies
This Privacy Policy applies only to keytest.info. Links to external websites and third-party services (such as Google) are governed by their own privacy policies. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content or privacy practices of any third-party sites.
We encourage you to review the privacy policy of every website you visit.

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act, California consumers have the right to:
- Request that a business disclose the personal data it has collected about them.
- Request that a business delete any personal data collected about them.
- Request that a business not sell their personal data.
KeyTest does not directly collect or sell personal data. However, our advertising partner (Google AdSense) may use cookies that fall under the definition of "sharing" personal information under California law. To exercise your rights, you may opt out of personalised advertising as described in the Google AdSense section above, or contact us at the address below.
GDPR Rights (EEA and UK Users)
If you are located in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

- Right to erasure — request deletion of your data.
- Right to restrict processing — request that processing be limited.
- Right to data portability — request a transfer of your data.

Because KeyTest does not directly collect personal data, most of these rights relate to data held by Google through Analytics and AdSense.

Children's Privacy
KeyTest does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. The website has no forms or accounts through which a child could submit personal data. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information, please contact us and we will take immediate steps to address it.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, particularly as we add or change services. We will update the effective date at the top of this page whenever changes are made. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of the site after a policy update constitutes acceptance of the new terms.
