Privacy Policy

1 Overview

Welcome to AlphaCPSTest.com ("we," "our," or "us"). We operate a collection of free online tools including CPS testers, gaming utilities, keyboard tests, camera tests, and other device-performance tools, accessible at https://alphacpstest.com.

We are committed to protecting the privacy of every visitor. This Privacy Policy describes what data we collect, why we collect it, how it is used, and the choices available to you. This policy is designed to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and the advertising standards of Google AdSense.

2 Information We Collect

We collect two categories of information:

2.1 Non-Personal / Technical Data (Collected Automatically)

When you visit AlphaCPSTest.com, our servers and third-party analytics services may automatically record:

• IP address (anonymized where possible)
• Browser type, version, and language settings
• Device type (desktop, mobile, tablet) and operating system
• Referring URL (the page that linked you to our site)
• Pages visited and time spent on each page (tools such as our camera test and microphone test process all data locally in your browser)
• Click interactions, scroll depth, and tool usage events
• Date and time of visit
• Screen resolution and viewport size

This data is collected in aggregate and cannot be used on its own to identify you as an individual.

2.2 Voluntarily Provided Data

We do not have user accounts, forms requiring sign-up, or mandatory data submission. If you choose to contact us via email at Contactalphatools@gmail.com, we will receive your email address and the content of your message solely to respond to your inquiry. This data is not shared with third parties and is deleted after your query is resolved.

3 Cookies Policy

A cookie is a small text file stored on your device by a web browser when you visit a website. Cookies help websites remember your preferences and provide services such as advertising and analytics.

AlphaCPSTest.com uses the following categories of cookies:

3.1 Managing and Disabling Cookies

You have the right to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can manage cookies through:

• Browser settings — Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies via Settings > Privacy or similar menus.
• Google's Ad Settings — Opt out of personalized advertising at adssettings.google.com.
• Network Advertising Initiative — Opt out at optout.networkadvertising.org.
• Your Online Choices (EU) — Available at youronlinechoices.eu.

3.2 Do Not Track (DNT)

Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. We acknowledge DNT signals. When a DNT signal is detected, we limit data collection to strictly necessary operations. However, because no universal standard for DNT exists, our third-party partners (Google) may not honor all DNT signals independently.

4 Google AdSense

AlphaCPSTest.com participates in the Google AdSense program, which allows Google to display advertisements on our pages. Advertising revenue enables us to offer all our tools completely free of charge.

When you visit pages on our site that display AdSense ads, Google may:

• Use cookies and web beacons to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website and other sites across the internet.
• Collect information about your browser, device, location (country/region), and online activity to personalise advertisements.
• Use the DoubleClick cookie to enable interest-based advertising across multiple websites.

4.1 Personalised vs Non-Personalised Ads

Depending on your consent choices and geographic location, you may see either personalised ads (based on your browsing history) or non-personalised ads (based only on general page context, without using personal data).

Users in the European Economic Area (EEA) and the United Kingdom will be shown a consent prompt consistent with Google's EU User Consent Policy before personalised ads are served.

4.2 Google AdSense Privacy

Google's data collection and use for AdSense is governed by Google's Privacy Policy. We have no direct access to the data collected by Google through AdSense.

To opt out of Google personalised advertising, visit: https://adssettings.google.com

5 Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics (provided by Google LLC) to understand how visitors interact with our site. This service collects anonymised data about sessions, page views, bounce rates, user flows, and device/browser information.

• Data collected is aggregated and anonymised — it does not identify you personally.
• We have enabled IP anonymisation (IP masking) so that your full IP address is never stored.
• Google Analytics sets cookies (_ga, _gid, _gat) on your device to distinguish users and throttle requests.
• Data is retained for 14 months on Google's servers, after which it is automatically deleted.
• We do not use Google Analytics for advertising targeting on our own behalf.

You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

6 Third-Party Services

Our website uses several third-party services that may independently collect usage data. We do not control the privacy practices of these services and encourage you to review their respective policies.

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personally identifiable information to outside parties except as described in this policy.

7 How We Use Data

The non-personal data we collect is used exclusively for the following legitimate purposes:

• Site Operation — Diagnosing technical issues, monitoring server health, and ensuring our tools function correctly across browsers and devices.
• Analytics & Improvement — Understanding which tools are most popular, identifying navigation bottlenecks, and continuously improving user experience.
• Advertising — Displaying advertisements via Google AdSense to generate revenue that funds free tool access for all users.
• Security — Detecting and preventing abusive or fraudulent traffic, bot attacks, and other security threats.
• Legal Compliance — Meeting obligations under applicable laws and responding to lawful requests from public authorities.

We do not use your data to:

• Build or sell user profiles.
• Send unsolicited marketing emails.
• Make automated decisions with legal or similarly significant effects on individuals.

8 User Consent

Where required by law (particularly for users in the European Economic Area, UK, and other jurisdictions with equivalent consent requirements), we obtain your consent before setting non-essential cookies and before enabling personalised advertising.

On your first visit, a cookie consent banner is displayed (example below). By clicking "Accept All" you consent to all cookies including analytics and advertising. By clicking "Manage Preferences" you can accept or decline specific categories. By clicking "Reject Non-Essential" you decline all cookies except those strictly necessary for site operation.

Consent can be withdrawn at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site, which will re-trigger the consent banner. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred prior to withdrawal.

For users outside of consent-required jurisdictions, your continued use of the site constitutes acceptance of this policy in accordance with our legitimate interests in site improvement and advertising.

9 Your GDPR & Privacy Rights

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, Switzerland, or another jurisdiction with equivalent data protection laws, you have the following rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or equivalent legislation:

• Right of Access — You may request confirmation of whether we hold personal data about you and receive a copy of that data.

We do not sell personal information. To exercise CCPA rights, contact us at the email above.

10 Children's Privacy

AlphaCPSTest.com is a general-audience website. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in certain jurisdictions as required by local law). Our tools are designed to be accessible to all ages; however, we do not direct our services specifically at children and do not solicit or store data from minors.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at Contactalphatools@gmail.com. We will promptly delete any such information from our records.

If you are under 13, please do not submit any personal information to us.

11 Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the limited data we handle against accidental loss, destruction, alteration, or unauthorised disclosure. These measures include:

• HTTPS (SSL/TLS) encryption for all data transmitted between your browser and our servers.
• Access controls limiting server-level data access to authorised personnel only.
• Regular review of third-party service providers' security practices.
• Minimisation of data retention — we do not retain raw logs longer than necessary.

12 Changes to This Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.

Continued use of AlphaCPSTest.com after a revised policy is published constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms. We encourage you to review this page periodically.

For significant changes affecting how we handle your data, we will make reasonable efforts to notify users through a prominent notice on our website prior to the change taking effect.
