Privacy Policy

Who We Are And How To Contact Us

This website, screentester.co ("Screen Tester", "we", "us" or "our"), offers free online screen tests and tools. We are the controller of the personal information described in this policy.

• Email: info@screentester.co
• Postal address: 12100 Wilshire Blvd #900, Los Angeles, CA 90025, United States
• Contact form: screentester.co/contact (choose Privacy request)

This policy applies to screentester.co and its pages, tools and contact form. It does not cover other websites you reach through links on our pages.

Information We Collect

We collect as little personal information as we can. Most of our site works without us knowing who you are.

Information You Give Us

When you use our contact form or email us, we receive the details you choose to send:

• Your name and email address
• The topic, device type and page link you select or enter
• The content of your message
• If you leave the option ticked, technical details about your browser and screen: browser name and version, screen resolution, pixel ratio, window size, language and the page you sent the form from

Information Collected Automatically

Like almost every website, our hosting servers record basic technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, the pages requested, the referring page and the date and time. These server logs are used to keep the site running, secure and free from abuse. We also use local storage and cookies as described in the Cookies section below.

Information We Do Not Collect

• Your screen test results, marked pixels, zone ratings and downloaded reports
• Camera or microphone images or sound from our webcam and microphone tests
• The keys you press or clicks you make in our keyboard, mouse and gamepad tests
• Payment details, government ID numbers or account passwords, as we have no accounts or payments

How Our Screen Tests Handle Your Data

Our tests run entirely in your browser on your own device. The patterns, measurements and reports are created locally and are not sent to our servers.

• Screen and color tests read basic display details, such as resolution, pixel ratio and refresh rate, only to draw the test correctly on your screen.
• Webcam and microphone tests ask for permission through your browser. The video and sound are shown on your device only and are never recorded or uploaded by us. You can withdraw permission at any time in your browser settings.
• Reports and images you download, such as a dead pixel report or a PNG, are generated on your device and saved directly to it.
• Copy buttons place text on your own clipboard only.

If you choose to send us a report, for example with a bug report, it is handled like any other message sent through the contact form.

How We Use Your Information

We use personal information only for the purposes below. Where data protection laws such as the GDPR apply, the table shows the legal basis we rely on.

We do not use your information for automated decision-making or profiling, and we do not send marketing emails unless you clearly ask us to.

Cookies And Local Storage

Cookies and local storage are small pieces of information saved by your browser. We keep their use to a minimum.

You can block or delete cookies and local storage in your browser settings. If you do, the site still works, but settings such as dark mode will not be remembered. For full details, see our Cookie Policy.

Third-Party Services

We use a small number of trusted services to run the site. They process information only to provide their service.

If we add an analytics or advertising service, we will list it here and in our Cookie Policy, and ask for consent where the law requires it.

How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

We share personal information only in these limited cases:

• Service providers listed above, who process it on our behalf to deliver messages, host the site or serve fonts
• Legal reasons, when we are required to by law, court order or a valid request from a public authority, or to protect our rights, users or the public
• Business changes, if Screen Tester is merged, sold or reorganized, in which case this policy will continue to protect your information

How Long We Keep Information

You can ask us to delete a message sooner at any time. We may keep information longer only where the law requires it.

How We Protect Information

• The whole site is served over HTTPS, so information is encrypted between your browser and our servers.
• Only the people who answer messages can see your contact details.
• We work only with service providers that protect information appropriately.
• Because tests run on your device, the most detailed information about your screen never leaves it.

No method of sending or storing information online is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we take reasonable steps to protect what we hold.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the following rights over your personal information. We offer them to all users, wherever they are.

To use any of these rights, email info@screentester.co or use the contact form and choose Privacy request. We may ask you to confirm the email address you used, so we only release information to the right person. We aim to respond within 30 days, and we will not treat you differently for using your rights.

California Privacy Rights

If you live in California, the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, may give you additional rights.

• Categories we collect: identifiers, such as name, email address and IP address, and internet activity, such as pages viewed and browser details, from the sources described above.
• Purposes: replying to you, running and securing the site, and improving our tools.
• No sale or sharing: we have not sold or shared personal information in the past 12 months, and we do not knowingly sell or share the information of anyone under 16.
• Your rights: to know, access, correct and delete your information, to opt out of any sale or sharing, and not to be discriminated against for using these rights.
• Global Privacy Control: because we do not sell or share personal information, there is nothing to opt out of. If that changes, we will treat a Global Privacy Control signal as a valid opt-out request.

You or an authorized agent can make a request using the contact details in this policy.

Users In The EEA, UK And Switzerland

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, the GDPR or UK GDPR gives you the rights listed above, and our legal bases are shown in the How We Use Your Information table.

• International transfers: Screen Tester is based in the United States, and our service providers may process information in other countries. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as the European Commission Standard Contractual Clauses.
• Complaints: you have the right to complain to your local data protection authority, or in the UK to the Information Commissioner Office. We would appreciate the chance to resolve your concern first, so please contact us.

Children's Privacy

Screen Tester is a general audience website and is not directed at children under 13, or under 16 in the EEA and UK. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Links To Other Websites

Our pages link to other websites, such as manufacturer support pages, Trustpilot and social networks. We are not responsible for their privacy practices, so please read their privacy policies before sharing information with them.

Changes To This Policy

We may update this policy when our site, our services or the law changes. We will change the Last updated date at the top of this page, and for important changes we will add a clear notice on the site. Please check this page from time to time.
