Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 7, 2026

Who this privacy policy covers

This privacy policy explains what happens to data when you visit GamepadTest.pro. It covers the website only. We collect as little as we can: there are no accounts, no sign-up forms and no comments.

Controller tests run on your device

Every test on this site (gamepad tester, stick drift, deadzone, vibration, polling rate and the controller model pages) runs entirely in your browser with JavaScript through the Gamepad API. Button presses, stick positions, trigger values, timings and the controller ID string are processed in the page and are never sent to us or anyone else. They disappear when you reload or close the page. We do not store test results.

What we collect

We do not ask for your name or contact details. If you email us, we receive your email address and message and use them only to reply.

Email

Messages to our contact address are forwarded by Cloudflare Email Routing to a Gmail inbox, so Cloudflare and Google process them on our behalf. We do not add your address to any mailing list.

Fonts

Pages load their fonts from Google Fonts. Your browser requests them from Google's servers, which receive your IP address and browser details. See the Google Privacy Policy.

Hosting logs

The site is hosted on Cloudflare. Cloudflare processes standard request data (such as IP address, browser and pages requested) to serve the site and protect it from abuse. See the Cloudflare Privacy Policy.

Analytics

We use Microsoft Clarity to understand how visitors use the site: pages viewed, clicks, scrolling and the device and country they come from. Clarity uses cookies and can record anonymous replays of a visit. We use this only to find pages that are confusing or broken. See the Microsoft Privacy Statement.

Cookies

GamepadTest.pro itself does not set cookies. Third-party services named above may set their own. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; the tests work without them.

What we do not do

We do not build profiles of visitors, we do not use browser fingerprinting, and we do not try to identify you across other sites ourselves. The Gamepad API only lets the page read controllers while it is open, and only after you press a button; the page has no access to other devices or to anything outside the page. We never ask for payment details, because nothing on the site is for sale.

Who we share data with

Only the service providers named in this policy, and only for the purpose described. We do not sell or rent personal data, and we do not share it for anyone else's marketing. These providers may process data outside your country, under their own safeguards for international transfers.

How long we keep data

Emails are kept for as long as needed to handle your request and then deleted within 12 months. Hosting logs are kept by Cloudflare for a short period for security. Test data is never kept, because it never leaves your browser.

Your rights and choices

You can ask us what data we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, or object to how it is used, by emailing us. We reply within 30 days. You may also complain to your local data protection authority.

Security

The site is served over HTTPS only. If we learn of a breach affecting personal data, we will inform affected people and authorities as the law requires.

Children

The site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data.
