Privacy Policy

Last updated: 23 June 2026.

The short version: your audio and video never leave your browser. CheckMyMic runs entirely on your device. When you test your microphone, camera, speakers or any other device, everything is processed locally using your browser's built-in APIs. We do not record, upload, or store any of it.

What we collect

CheckMyMic sets no cookies. We use Cloudflare Web Analytics, a privacy-first, cookieless measurement tool, to understand aggregate usage (such as which pages are viewed and roughly how many visitors we get). It does not use cookies, does not fingerprint or track you across other websites, and does not collect any personal data. Like any website, our server also records standard access logs (such as the page requested and a timestamp) to keep the service running and secure. None of this contains microphone, camera, or other device data, and logs are retained for a limited period before deletion.

Microphone & camera access

The mic test asks your browser for permission to access your microphone, and the webcam test asks for your camera. That access is used only to show you a live preview, meter, and verdict in real time, on your device. The optional “record & play back” (mic) and “snapshot” (camera) features keep a short clip or image in your browser's memory so you can review it; both are discarded when you leave the page and are never transmitted. The audio and video streams are held in memory only and never sent to any server.

Children's privacy

CheckMyMic is a general-purpose utility and is not directed to children under 13. Because we collect no personal data, nothing about a child is gathered or stored.

Analytics

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics — a privacy-friendly, cookieless solution limited to aggregate, non-identifying counts. Because it sets no cookies and collects no personal data, no consent banner is required. If we ever change analytics providers, this page will be updated first.

Advertising

CheckMyMic shows no ads today. If we introduce advertising later, this policy will be updated to describe it, and visitors in regions that require consent will be asked for it first.
