Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how GPadTester processes information when you visit gpadtester.io. Last updated: November 4, 2026.
Core Privacy Architecture and Local Processing
GPadTester is engineered with data minimization as its central design standard. The utility operates entirely within the client environment of your web browser via the W3C Gamepad API.
When you connect a controller and test its functionality, all readings (including axis positions, trigger pressures, button states, and vibration commands) remain strictly inside your browser instance. No controller data, audio input, video input, or input sequence logs are ever transmitted to our servers or stored in any remote system.
We do not require user accounts, email registration, passwords, or personal identity details to access any diagnostic tool.
Hosting Infrastructure and Server Logs
Our website is hosted statically via Cloudflare infrastructure. When your browser requests assets from gpadtester.io, Cloudflare automatically processes standard connection metadata necessary to deliver the site securely and reliably.
These access logs may record technical details such as your internet protocol (IP) address, operating system, browser type, referral URL, and the timestamp of your request. This data is handled exclusively for security inspection, denial-of-service defense, and basic traffic routing. We do not combine server connection logs with personal identities or input data.
Advertising and Cookie Policy
To support our free diagnostic services, GPadTester displays online advertisements served by Google AdSense. Google and its certified advertising partners may use cookies, web beacons, and unique identifiers to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites across the internet.
In regions governed by the General Data Protection Regulation (such as the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland), we deploy a Google-certified Consent Management Platform (CMP). This consent banner enables you to accept or refuse personalized advertising cookies and vendor tracking upon arrival.
Users worldwide may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings (https://adssettings.google.com) or by configuring their browser settings to block third-party cookies.
Third-Party Services and External Links
Except for hosting services provided by Cloudflare and advertising networks provided by Google, GPadTester does not share, sell, rent, or trade user data with external third parties.
Our web pages may contain references or links to external technical documentation, standard specifications, or browser vendors. GPadTester does not control and accepts no responsibility for the privacy practices or content of external third-party websites.
Data Protection Rights and Contact
Depending on your geographical location, data protection statutes (including GDPR and CCPA) grant you specific rights regarding your personal data. Because GPadTester does not collect personal identifiers, account profiles, or input telemetry, we maintain no database of personal information to search, alter, or export.
If you have questions regarding our privacy practices, server logging, or consent policies, please contact us by email at contact@gpadtester.io.
Frequently Asked Questions

How can I opt out of personalized advertisements on GPadTester?
You can manage your consent preferences via the on-site consent banner or adjust your global advertising settings directly at Google Ads Settings.
What information does the hosting provider record?
Cloudflare may record standard technical server logs containing IP addresses and browser headers strictly for traffic routing and system security.
