Privacy Policy
Effective Date & Last Updated: November 2026
At Pro Mic, Camera & Audio Tester Suite, protecting your privacy is the foundational architectural principle of our platform. This Privacy Policy explains how our website handles hardware media streams, browser storage, third-party advertising cookies (including Google AdSense), analytics services, and your statutory rights under GDPR and CCPA.
1. Local Processing of Microphone Audio & Webcam Video
When you grant permission to test your microphone or camera using our diagnostic suite, the browser's native navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia, Web Audio API, and MediaRecorder API process the signal strictly on your local device:
- Audio Recordings: When you click Record Audio, PCM audio samples are held temporarily in your browser tab's memory so you can play back or download a
.wavfile to your own device. Refreshing or closing the tab permanently erases the buffer. - Webcam Video & Snapshots: Live camera previews and PNG snapshots are rendered onto an HTML5
<canvas>element inside your browser. No video frames or images are ever sent over the network. - Hardware Identifiers: Device labels (such as your microphone or webcam model name) are read locally from your browser to populate the selector dropdowns and diagnostic table and are never logged externally.
2. Browser Local Storage (localStorage) Preferences
To improve your user experience across visits without requiring user accounts or server databases, our website stores three non-personal preference keys in your browser's localStorage:
promic_theme: Remembers whether you selected Dark Mode ("dark") or Light Mode ("light").promic_autostart: Remembers whether you enabled the Autostart next time toggle ("true"or"false").promic_cookie_consent: Records your acknowledgment of our cookie consent banner ("accepted").
You may clear these values at any time by clearing your browser's site data or cache.
3. Google AdSense, Google DART Cookie & DoubleClick Disclosures
We may partner with third-party advertising networks, including Google AdSense, to display advertisements that support the free hosting and maintenance of this utility. In compliance with Google Publisher Policies, please note the following:
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies (such as the Google DART cookie and DoubleClick cookies) to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites on the internet.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve advertisements to our visitors based on their visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- Users may opt out of personalized advertising at any time by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices or Your Online Choices (EU).
4. Web Analytics (Google Analytics & Microsoft Clarity)
We may use privacy-conscious web analytics tools such as Google Analytics (GA4) and Microsoft Clarity to understand aggregate, non-personally identifiable website traffic trendsโsuch as page views, browser types, device screen sizes, and general geographic regions. These analytics tools never have access to your microphone audio stream, recorded audio clips, or webcam video feed. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking using the official Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
5. Your Data Protection Rights (GDPR & CCPA)
Depending on your jurisdiction (including the European Economic Area under the General Data Protection Regulation and California under the California Consumer Privacy Act), you have the right to:
- Access information about the categories of data collected via cookies or analytics scripts.
- Withdraw consent or opt out of non-essential cookies and personalized advertising at any time through your browser settings or Google Ads Settings.
- Request deletion of any correspondence you voluntarily send us via email.
