Privacy Policy

We built this keyboard tester with privacy as the foundation, not an afterthought. Here's exactly what we collect — and what we don't.

Last updated: August 13, 2026

🔐

Short version: We collect nothing. No keystrokes, no personal data, no cookies tied to your identity. The keyboard tester runs entirely inside your browser. Zero network requests are made for keyboard data.

1. Information We Do Not Collect

Online Keyboard Tester does not collect, store, or transmit:

Your keystrokes or key press history
Your keyboard layout preferences
Any personally identifiable information (PII)
Your IP address for diagnostic purposes
Device fingerprinting data
Session recordings or heatmaps of your keyboard usage

The entire keyboard testing functionality runs using the browser's built-inKeyboardEvent API. All data processing occurs locally on your device and is never transmitted to any server.

2. How the Keyboard Tester Works (Technically)

When you press a key on our keyboard tester, the following happens entirely within your browser:

The browser fires a keydown or keyup KeyboardEvent.
Our JavaScript reads the event.code property (the physical key position) from that event.
The corresponding key is highlighted on the visual keyboard layout rendered on screen.
The key state (tested, active, issue) is tracked in browser memory (RAM) only.
When you close or refresh the page, all session data is discarded.

You can verify this yourself. Open your browser's Developer Tools → Network tab while using the tool. You will see zero keystroke-related network requests.

3. Cookies

We use a single, minimal cookie/localStorage key: kt-theme. This stores your dark/light mode preference locally in your browser. It contains no personal information and is never transmitted to any server.

We do not use advertising cookies, tracking cookies, or third-party analytics cookies that profile your behavior.

4. Analytics

We may use privacy-respecting analytics (such as page view counts) to understand overall site traffic. Any analytics we use:

Do not track individual users across sessions
Do not record which keys you pressed
Do not share data with advertising networks
Comply with GDPR, CCPA, and other applicable privacy regulations

5. Third-Party Services

Our website may load resources from the following third-party services:

Google Fonts — to load the Inter and JetBrains Mono typefaces. Google may log font requests per their own privacy policy.

No advertising networks, social media trackers, or data brokers have access to your activity on this site.

6. Data Security

Since we do not collect personal data, there is no personal data to secure or breach. Your keyboard test data exists only in your browser's memory for the duration of your session and is permanently deleted when you close the tab.

7. Children's Privacy

Online Keyboard Tester does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Since we collect no personal information from any user, this tool is safe for users of all ages.

8. Changes to This Policy

If we make material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
