Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

We collect minimal information to provide and improve our screen diagnostic tools:

• Usage data: Anonymous page views, test tool interactions, and browser type (via optional analytics).
• Device info: Screen resolution, browser capabilities — used only to ensure the pixel test works properly.
• Contact form data: If you email us or submit a query, we receive your name, email address, and message content.
• Cookies: Basic functional cookies (e.g., to remember if you closed a notice). No tracking without consent.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use limited information for these purposes:

• Provide and maintain the dead pixel test (fullscreen colors, diagnostic cycle).
• Improve user experience and ensure tool compatibility across devices.
• Respond to support requests or feedback sent via contact form.
• Analyze anonymous usage patterns to optimize performance.
• Display basic advertisements (if any) through standard ad networks.

3. Cookies and Local Storage

We use cookies minimally:

• Essential cookies: Required for fullscreen mode functionality and to prevent repetitive prompts.
• Preference cookies: Remember if you have dismissed a tip or warning.
• Analytics cookies (optional): We may use privacy-friendly analytics (no personal identifiers). You can block cookies via browser settings.

Most browsers allow you to control or disable cookies. Disabling cookies will not break the pixel test tool, but some features may be affected.

4. Third-Party Services

We do not share personal data with third parties except for standard web services:

• Hosting provider: Our website is hosted on secure servers that may collect standard access logs (IP addresses, timestamps) for security reasons.
• Analytics (optional): If enabled, we use anonymized analytics to count visits and detect errors. No personal information is sent.
• Advertisements: We may display non-intrusive ads via networks like Google AdSense. Those networks may use cookies for personalized ads — you can opt out via YourOnlineChoices.

5. Data Security

We take reasonable precautions to protect any information you submit:

• All communication between your browser and our server uses HTTPS encryption.
• We do not store sensitive personal data (credit cards, IDs, etc.).
• Contact form messages are retained only as long as necessary to respond.

While we strive to protect your data, no online transmission is 100% secure. Use this service at your own discretion.

6. Children's Privacy

Our dead pixel test tool is not intended for children under 13 years old. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can delete it.

7. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location (e.g., European Economic Area, California, Brazil), you may have rights including:

• Right to access: Ask what personal data we hold about you.
• Right to deletion: Request that we erase your personal data.
• Right to opt-out: Disable cookies or opt out of targeted advertising.
• Right to correction: Update inaccurate information.

To exercise any of these rights, please use the contact information in Section 10.

8. External Links

Our website may link to external resources (e.g., information about pixel repair). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other websites. Always read the privacy policy of any third-party site you visit.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. The "Last Updated" date at the top indicates the latest revision. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
