This Privacy Policy describes how Keyboard Tester ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit and use our website. We take your privacy seriously and have built our tool with privacy as a core principle. By accessing or using Keyboard Tester, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy.
Keyboard Tester is a browser-based tool, and the core functionality of the keyboard tester, including key detection, heatmap visualization, key press logging, layout switching, and switch sound simulation, runs entirely on your device. No keystroke data is collected, transmitted, stored, or accessible by us at any point. When you press a key on your keyboard, the browser's native KeyboardEvent API processes it locally and our JavaScript displays the result on the virtual keyboard. Nothing leaves your browser.
We do not require you to create an account, provide your name, email address, phone number, or any other personal information to use the keyboard tester, typing test, or key code finder tools. You can use every feature on the site without identifying yourself in any way.
However, when you visit our website, certain non-personal information may be collected automatically through third-party services that we use to understand site traffic and to support the site through advertising. This information is described in the sections below.
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to help us understand how visitors interact with our website. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit the site, which pages they view, how long they spend on each page, what device and browser they use, their approximate geographic location based on IP address, and what website or search engine referred them to us.
This data is collected through cookies that Google places on your device. The information generated by these cookies is transmitted to and stored on Google's servers. We use this data solely to improve the site's content, performance, and user experience. We do not combine Google Analytics data with any personally identifiable information.
Google Analytics does not have access to your keystrokes or any input data generated while using the keyboard tester tool. The analytics service only tracks standard website usage metrics.
You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, which is available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This add-on instructs your browser not to send visit information to Google Analytics.
For a full explanation of how Google collects and processes data through Analytics, visit https://policies.google.com/privacy.
Keyboard Tester uses Google AdSense, an advertising service provided by Google LLC, to display advertisements on the site. These ads help us keep the tool available at no cost to users.
Google AdSense uses cookies, including the DoubleClick cookie, to serve advertisements based on your browsing history across this site and other websites you have visited. This means the ads you see on Keyboard Tester may be personalized based on your interests, past searches, and browsing behavior as determined by Google's advertising technology.
Third-party advertising networks and vendors, including Google, may also use cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies to collect or receive information from this website and other locations across the internet. This information is used to provide measurement services and to deliver targeted advertisements.
You have the right to opt out of personalized advertising at any time. You can do so through the following methods:
Opting out of personalized ads does not remove advertising from the site. You will still see ads, but they will no longer be tailored to your browsing history and may be less relevant to your interests.

A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device to store information about your visit. Keyboard Tester itself does not set any first-party cookies for the purpose of tracking keystrokes, identifying users, or storing personal data. The keyboard tester tool does not use cookies in any form.
However, third-party services integrated into this website, specifically Google Analytics and Google AdSense, do set cookies on your device to function properly. These cookies serve the following purposes:
Analytics cookies, placed by Google Analytics, track anonymous usage data such as pages visited, session duration, and traffic sources. These help us understand how the site is used and where to make improvements.
Advertising cookies, placed by Google AdSense and the DoubleClick ad network, track browsing behavior across websites to deliver ads that are relevant to your interests. These cookies may also be used for frequency capping (limiting how often you see the same ad), ad reporting, and fraud prevention.
You can manage or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block all cookies, block only third-party cookies, or receive a notification before a cookie is placed. Please be aware that blocking cookies may affect the display of advertisements on the site but will not impact the functionality of the keyboard tester, typing test, or key code finder tools.
We do not sell, rent, lease, or trade your personal information to any third party for any reason. We do not share personal data with advertisers, data brokers, or marketing companies.
The only third-party services that receive any data from your visit to Keyboard Tester are Google Analytics (for anonymous traffic analysis) and Google AdSense (for ad delivery), as described in detail above. Both services are governed by Google's own privacy policies, and the data they collect is processed in accordance with Google's terms of service.
We do not operate any user accounts, databases of personal information, email lists, or tracking systems beyond what is described in this policy.
We take reasonable technical measures to protect the security of our website and your visit. Keyboard Tester is served over HTTPS, which encrypts all communication between your browser and our server. Our server uses security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to protect against common web vulnerabilities.
The site is also protected by rate limiting to prevent abuse, and we do not store any user-generated data on our servers. Since the keyboard tester processes all input locally in your browser, there is no keystroke data stored on our end that could be compromised in the event of a security incident.
Keyboard Tester is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Since we do not require accounts or collect personal data from any users, the risk of inadvertently collecting children's information is minimal. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has somehow provided personal information through this site, please contact us at [email protected] and we will take prompt steps to investigate and remove any such data.
Our website may contain links to third-party websites, tools, or resources that are not operated by us. These links are provided for convenience and informational purposes only. We have no control over the content, privacy practices, or policies of these external websites. We strongly encourage you to review the privacy policy of every external site you visit after clicking a link on Keyboard Tester. We are not responsible for any data collection or privacy practices conducted by third-party websites.
We reserve the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time. When we make changes, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information. Your continued use of Keyboard Tester after any changes to this policy constitutes your acceptance of those changes.
If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or our privacy practices, you can reach us at:
We will make every reasonable effort to respond to your inquiry promptly.
