Who We Are
Hardware Test is a trading name of KMR Digital Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales (company no. 17516682). Its registered office is 71–75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London, WC2H 9JQ. KMR Digital Ltd is the data controller for this site and is registered with the UK Information Commissioner's Office (registration ZC266758).
Your Keyboard, Mouse, Controller, and Camera
Every test runs only on your device, inside your browser. Keystrokes, clicks, controller input, your camera image, and your microphone sound are never recorded to a server, uploaded, or shared.
A webcam photo stays on the page when you press Take Photo. It's saved to your own device only if you then press Download Photo. If you record a 5-second webcam clip, it stays in your browser's memory. It's discarded when you record another, stop the test, or leave the page.
Settings on Your Device
A few choices, such as your keyboard layout and the double-click threshold, are saved in your browser's local storage. You can clear them by clearing site data.
Analytics
We count visits with our own analytics, run on our server. It sets no cookies, saves nothing on your device, and doesn't fingerprint your browser. If your browser sends Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track, it sends nothing at all.
For each page view or action (for example starting a test, a test result, or opening an Amazon link), we store:
- The event name and a few fixed details about it, such as which test, the result, or the keyboard layout
- The page path, without the query string, except campaign tags (utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign, and ref)
- The host name of the site that linked to you (for example google.com), never the full address
- Your country, from Cloudflare
- Your device type (phone, tablet, or desktop) and browser family (for example Safari), never the full user agent
- A visitor code and the time
We never store which keys you pressed, what your camera saw or your microphone heard, or your controller's name. The visitor code is a one-way hash of your IP address, your browser's user agent, the date, and a secret. It changes every day, so we can count unique visitors within a day but can't link your visits across days. We don't store IP addresses. Known bots are ignored. Events are deleted after 400 days.
