Privacy Policy

How ClickTests.net collects, uses, and protects your information — including our use of Google AdSense.

Effective: March 1, 2026  |  Last updated: March 16, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to ClickTests.net. We operate a collection of 50+ free browser-based input performance testing tools available at clicktests.net. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information about you when you visit our website.

By using ClickTests.net, you consent to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree with any part of this policy, please discontinue use of the site. This policy applies to all pages and tools on clicktests.net and does not cover third-party websites linked from our pages.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

We only collect personal information you actively provide. This occurs when you submit a message via our contact form or by emailing us directly at contact.clicktests@gmail.com, at which point we collect your name, email address, and the content of your message. This information is used solely to respond to your enquiry.

2.2 Automatically Collected Data

When you visit our website, standard server and analytics infrastructure may automatically collect the following technical data:

This data is collected in aggregate form to help us understand usage patterns and improve the site. It is not linked to any individual identity.

2.3 Advertising Data (Google AdSense)

ClickTests.net displays advertisements served by Google AdSense. Google and its advertising partners use cookies — including the DART cookie — to serve ads to visitors based on their prior visits to our site and other websites on the internet. This allows Google to show relevant, personalised advertisements.

The use of DART cookies by Google enables Google and its partners to display ads based on your browsing history across sites that participate in the Google Display Network. ClickTests.net does not have access to or control over the cookies used by Google or any other third-party advertiser.

2.4 Test Scores and Local Storage

All test computations happen inside your browser. If you enable Score History via the Settings panel, your scores are saved to your browser's localStorage only — they are never transmitted to our servers or associated with your identity.

3. Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed in your browser that help websites recognise returning visitors and personalise content. ClickTests.net uses the following categories of cookies:

You can manage or disable cookies at any time through your browser settings. For full details of every cookie we set, including name, provider, purpose, and duration, see our Cookie Policy.

4. Google AdSense and Third-Party Advertising

ClickTests.net participates in the Google AdSense advertising programme. Google is one of our third-party advertising vendors and uses cookies to serve ads on our site based on your prior visits to our website or other websites across the internet.

Our advertising partners may use cookies, JavaScript, or web beacons in their advertisements and links that appear on ClickTests.net. These technologies are used to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns and to serve personalised advertisements. ClickTests.net has no access to or control over these third-party technologies.

4.1 Advertising Partners

Each of our advertising partners operates under its own privacy policy. You may consult the following links for full information on how our partners handle user data:

4.2 Opting Out of Personalised Advertising

You have several options to control personalised advertising:

Please note that opting out of personalised advertising does not mean you will stop seeing ads — it means the ads you see will be less relevant to your interests.

5. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services to operate ClickTests.net. Each is governed by its own privacy documentation:

We do not use Facebook Pixel, affiliate tracking scripts, or any other third-party marketing technology beyond those listed above.

6. How We Use Your Information

We use information collected on ClickTests.net for the following purposes only:

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for their own marketing purposes. We do not use your data for automated decision-making or profiling beyond what is necessary to display advertisements via Google AdSense.

7. Data Storage and Retention

Contact form submissions are retained only as long as needed to resolve your enquiry and are then deleted. We do not maintain a permanent database of contact messages.

Anonymised analytics data is retained in Google Analytics for up to 14 months before automatic deletion, in line with GA4 defaults.

Advertising-related data (DART cookies and associated ad performance metrics) is managed by Google under their own retention schedules. ClickTests.net does not independently store advertising data.

All data is held on servers secured with HTTPS encryption. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, but we apply current best practices to minimise risk.

8. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

To exercise any of these rights, contact us through our Contact page or email contact.clicktests@gmail.com. We will respond within 30 days. Identity verification may be required before processing a request.

9. GDPR — Legal Basis for Processing

For users in the European Economic Area (EEA) or United Kingdom, our legal bases for processing personal data are:

10. CCPA — California Residents

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) grants you the following rights:

To submit a CCPA request, contact us via our Contact page or email contact.clicktests@gmail.com. We will respond within 45 days.

11. Children's Privacy

ClickTests.net is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in jurisdictions where a higher threshold applies). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. Google AdSense is configured on our site to serve non-personalised ads to users in jurisdictions where targeted advertising directed at minors is restricted.

If you believe a child has submitted personal data through our contact form, please contact us immediately. We will take prompt steps to delete such information.

12. International Data Transfers

ClickTests.net is operated within the European Union. Third-party services we use — including Google AdSense and Google Analytics — may process data in the United States and other countries. Where such international transfers occur, they are carried out under appropriate safeguards including Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) as approved by the European Commission.

13. Do Not Track

Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal to websites. ClickTests.net does not currently alter its data collection practices in response to DNT signals, as no universally accepted standard for DNT response has been established. You can restrict data collection more directly by declining analytics and advertising cookies via our consent banner.

14. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically as our tools evolve or applicable laws change. Material changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of ClickTests.net after a change is posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy. We encourage you to review this page regularly.

15. Contact Us

If you have questions, concerns, or requests about this Privacy Policy or your personal data — including requests relating to Google AdSense data — please contact us via our Contact page or email us directly at contact.clicktests@gmail.com. We aim to respond to all privacy enquiries within 30 days.
