Effective Date: 25 May 2026  |  Last Updated: 25 May 2026

SoundTest ("we", "us", or "our") operates the website at onlinesoundtest.pages.dev. This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected when you visit our site, how it is used, and your rights regarding that information.

1. Information We Collect

We do not collect any personal information directly. We do not have login accounts, contact forms that store data, or any mechanism to identify you personally. However, the third-party services embedded on this site collect certain data automatically:

  • Usage data — pages visited, time on page, referral source, and interactions (collected by Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity)
  • Device and browser data — browser type, operating system, screen resolution, and language settings
  • Approximate location — country or region level, derived from your IP address by third-party services
  • Session recordings and heatmaps — anonymised click, scroll, and navigation behaviour (collected by Microsoft Clarity)
  • Ad interaction data — whether you viewed or clicked an advertisement (collected by Google AdSense)

Audio data: All audio processing on this site happens locally in your browser using the Web Audio API. No microphone audio or audio test results are ever sent to our servers or any third party.

2. How We Use Information

The data collected through third-party services is used to:

  • Understand how visitors use our tools so we can improve them
  • Identify technical issues and browser compatibility problems
  • Measure the reach and performance of our content
  • Serve relevant advertisements that help fund the free operation of this site

We do not sell, rent, or trade any personal data to third parties beyond what is described in this policy.

4. Cookies

This site does not set any first-party cookies. The third-party services described above set their own cookies for the purposes listed. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings. Blocking cookies may affect the ability of third-party services to function but will not affect your use of any audio testing tool on this site.

5. Your Rights

Depending on where you are located, you may have the following rights regarding your data:

  • Right to know — what data is collected about you and how it is used
  • Right to opt out — of interest-based advertising and analytics tracking
  • Right to access or deletion — requests for data held by third-party services must be made directly to those services

For EU/EEA residents (GDPR) and California residents (CCPA), you may exercise your rights by contacting the relevant third-party service directly, or by using the opt-out tools linked in Section 3.

6. External Links

Our site may contain links to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.

7. Children's Privacy

This site is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has provided information through a third-party service on this site, please contact that service directly.
