This page explains how frameratetest.net handles any information that flows through the site, what gets collected, what does not, and what choices you have. The whole document is written to be read, not skipped. If anything here is unclear, the inbox is open.
Using frameratetest.net, including the FPS test, refresh rate test, mouse DPI analyzer, polling rate tester, keyboard tester, gamepad tester, spacebar clicker, and the rest of the tools on the site, means you accept what is described in this policy. If something here does not sit right with you, the only fair option is to not use the site.
frameratetest.net is built to be privacy-first. The tools are client-side, which is a fancy way of saying every test runs inside your own browser and the results never get transmitted to or stored on any server. Your test results, mouse movements, keyboard input, frame rate readings, click counts, and every other measurement the tools produce stay on your device.
There are still a few limited categories of information that may get collected when you visit. Here is the full list, with nothing hidden.
A. Information Picked Up AutomaticallyWhen you load any page on the site, the server and analytics tools may record:
All of this is used in aggregate. Looking at it does not let anyone identify you personally, and that is the only way it ever gets looked at.
B. Information You Hand Over YourselfIf you write in through the Contact Us form, you give your name, your email, and the message. That information is kept only as long as it takes to reply to you and resolve whatever you wrote about. It does not get shared with anyone.
C. The Long List of Things Not CollectedThe small amount of data the site does collect gets used for these specific things, and nothing else.
Your data is not used for targeted advertising, profiling, or any kind of automated decision that affects you in a meaningful way. It is not sold, rented, leased, or shared with third parties for their marketing purposes. None of that happens here.
A small number of cookies are used to keep the site running smoothly and to understand how people use it. No advertising cookies, no third-party marketing trackers, no retargeting pixels. The full breakdown is below.
| Cookie Type | What It Does | Duration | Third Party |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | Keeps the site secure and functional, like session management and form protection. | Session | No |
| Analytics | Anonymous page view and tool usage data so the site can be improved. IP addresses are anonymised first. | Up to 2 years | Yes, Google Analytics, anonymised |
| Preferences | Remembers small choices like your last selected timer or display unit so you do not have to set them again. | 30 days | No |
| Performance | Measures page load speed and resource performance to help spot slow pages. | Up to 1 year | Yes, Cloudflare, anonymised |
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings whenever you want. Most browsers let you refuse new cookies, delete existing ones, or get notified before any cookie is set. Turning cookies off may affect a few small parts of the site, but every testing tool keeps working without them. For full details on the specific cookies in use, see the dedicated Cookie Policy.
Advertising networks, retargeting pixels, Facebook Pixel, TikTok Pixel, and similar marketing trackers are not used anywhere on the site.
A handful of trusted third-party services help run the site. Each one has its own privacy policy that governs how they handle data on their end. Here are the ones that matter.
Google AnalyticsGoogle Analytics is used to understand traffic patterns and how the site gets used. IP addresses are anonymised before they reach Google, and no personally identifying information is shared with them. If you would rather opt out entirely, install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on and it will block Google Analytics across every site you visit, not just this one.
CloudflareCloudflare handles content delivery, DDoS protection, and performance optimisation. As part of doing its job, it processes some request metadata including IP addresses to keep malicious traffic off the site. Cloudflare's data handling is covered by their own privacy policy and their GDPR-compliant data processing agreements.
WordPress HostingThe site runs on WordPress, hosted with a standard hosting provider. The host keeps basic server logs for security and diagnostics. These logs are kept for a limited time and never get used for marketing or profiling purposes.
Contact Form ProcessingWhen you send a message through the Contact Us form, the data gets delivered straight to the inbox via email. It does not get used for anything other than replying to you. You will never get added to any newsletter or mailing list without separately and explicitly opting in.
Any personal data the site holds, which is limited to contact form submissions and basic server logs, sits on servers in the United States. Reasonable technical and organisational steps are taken to keep it safe from unauthorised access, change, disclosure, or destruction. Concretely, that means:
Personal data is kept for as long as it is genuinely needed for the purpose it was collected for, and no longer. Contact form submissions get deleted within 90 days of the conversation being resolved, unless something legal requires keeping them around longer.
No method of transmitting or storing data over the internet is 100 percent secure. Reasonable measures are taken, but no honest site can promise absolute security. If a breach ever did happen, anyone affected and the relevant authorities would be notified as required by law.
Depending on where you live, you have the rights below over your personal data. Every legitimate request gets responded to within 30 days of being received, and usually a lot quicker.
The Right To See What Is HeldYou can ask for a copy of the personal data the site holds about you. It will be provided free of charge in a normal electronic format you can actually open and read.
The Right To Fix MistakesIf something the site holds about you is wrong or incomplete, you can ask for it to be corrected.
The Right To Be ForgottenYou can ask for your personal data to be deleted. Some narrow exceptions exist where the law requires keeping records for a set period, but outside those, deletion is honoured and confirmed in writing.
The Right To Pause ProcessingIn certain situations you can ask for processing of your data to be restricted, for example if you are disputing whether the data is accurate while it gets checked.
The Right To Take Your Data ElsewhereWhere it is technically possible, you can have your personal data delivered in a structured, machine-readable format so you can take it to another service.
The Right To ObjectYou can object to your personal data being processed for purposes including direct marketing, which is not done here anyway, and for analytics.
Opting Out Of AnalyticsTo stop Google Analytics from tracking you here at any time, install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. Cookie preferences can also be managed entirely through your browser settings.
To use any of these rights, email info@frameratetest.net with "Privacy Request" in the subject line. Some basic identity verification may be needed before any data is released, just to make sure the person asking is the person whose data it is.
frameratetest.net is a general-purpose technology testing site. The tools are not aimed specifically at children under 13 in the United States or under 16 in the EU and UK. Personal information is never knowingly collected from children below those age limits.
If you are a parent or guardian and you think your child has submitted personal info through the Contact form, email info@frameratetest.net right away. The information will be deleted promptly and you will get a confirmation when it is done.
Because the testing tools themselves run entirely in the browser and collect zero data, kids can use the FPS test, mouse tools, keyboard tester, gamepad tester, and the rest without any personal data ever being collected or transmitted anywhere. The tools are safe to use at any age.
If you live in the EU or UK, GDPR gives you extra rights. The lawful basis for processing analytics data is legitimate interests, specifically the need to understand how the tools get used so they can be improved. Contact form data is processed on the basis of consent, since sending the form is your decision and your consent. You can withdraw consent at any time.
Personal data is not transferred outside the European Economic Area without proper safeguards in place. Where third-party services like Google Analytics or Cloudflare may move data internationally, they do so under standard contractual clauses or equivalent legal protections.
California Residents (CCPA)If you live in California, the California Consumer Privacy Act gives you extra rights including the right to know what personal info is collected, the right to ask for it to be deleted, and the right to opt out of any sale of your personal information. Personal information is not sold to anyone, full stop. To use any CCPA right, email info@frameratetest.net.
Other CountriesReasonable effort goes into complying with privacy laws in other countries too. If you have a question about your rights under your local law, write in and the question will be answered honestly and in good faith.
This policy gets updated from time to time as practices change, laws change, or new features land on the site. When something material changes, the date at the top of the page gets updated to reflect it.
Worth checking back here every now and then. Continuing to use frameratetest.net after a change goes live counts as accepting the updated terms. If a change is significant enough to materially affect your rights, a notice on the homepage or a clearly visible banner on the site will go up so nobody misses it.
Older versions of this policy can be requested by emailing info@frameratetest.net if you want to compare what changed.
If you have questions about this policy, want to use one of your data rights, or are concerned about how something is being handled, please write in. Privacy questions are taken seriously and answered honestly. Every privacy enquiry gets a reply within five business days, and urgent data rights requests get handled within 30 days as the law requires.
