Privacy Policy
InputLab ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website inputlab.io and provides free online hardware testing tools. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit our website.
1. Information We Collect
Hardware Access: Our testing tools (keyboard, mouse, microphone, webcam) request permission to access your hardware through your web browser's built-in APIs. This access is used solely to perform the test you initiated. All hardware data is processed locally in your browser and is never transmitted to our servers.
Analytics Data: We may use third-party analytics services (such as Google Analytics) to collect anonymized usage data, including pages visited, time spent on pages, browser type, device type, and general geographic region. This data helps us understand how visitors use our site and improve the experience.
Cookies: We may use cookies and similar technologies for analytics purposes and to remember your preferences. You can control cookie settings through your browser. Our site functions without cookies enabled.
Affiliate Links: Our site contains affiliate links to products on Amazon and other retailers. When you click these links, the retailer may collect data according to their own privacy policy. We receive a commission on qualifying purchases but do not receive any personal information about you from these retailers.
2. Information We Do NOT Collect
We want to be clear about what we do not do:
- We do not record your keystrokes, mouse movements, microphone audio, or webcam video.
- We do not store any hardware test data on our servers.
- We do not require account creation or login.
- We do not collect your name, email address, or any personally identifiable information.
- We do not sell, trade, or share any user data with third parties.
3. How Your Hardware Tests Work
All hardware tests run entirely in your web browser using standard Web APIs (Web Audio API, MediaDevices API, Keyboard Events, Mouse Events). When you grant permission to access your microphone or webcam, the data stream stays within your browser tab. No audio or video is transmitted to any server. When you close the tab or revoke permission, access ends immediately.
4. Third-Party Services
Our website may use the following third-party services:
- Google Analytics: For anonymized website usage statistics. Google's privacy policy applies to data they collect.
- Amazon Associates: Our product recommendation links are part of the Amazon Associates affiliate program. Amazon's privacy policy governs any data collected when you visit their site through our links.
- Vercel: Our website is hosted on Vercel. Vercel's privacy policy applies to server-level data such as IP addresses in access logs.
5. Data Security
Since we do not collect or store personal data, there is minimal risk of a data breach affecting your personal information. Our website is served over HTTPS, ensuring that all communication between your browser and our servers is encrypted.
6. Children's Privacy
Our website is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Since our tools require no account creation and collect no personal data, children can use our testing tools safely.
7. Your Rights
Since we do not collect personally identifiable information, there is no personal data for us to provide, modify, or delete. You can revoke hardware permissions (microphone, webcam) at any time through your browser's site settings. You can clear cookies through your browser settings.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
