The short version: nothing leaves your device. The tests run entirely in your browser. We don't have an account system, we don't ask for an email, and we don't store anything you do here.
No personal data. No camera footage. No audio recordings. No keystrokes or typing patterns. No device fingerprints. No tracking pixels.
How the tests work
Every test runs locally in your browser using standard web APIs:
- Microphone — Your browser's audio stream is analyzed to draw the level meter. The audio is never recorded or sent anywhere.
- Webcam — Your camera feed is rendered in the page so you can see yourself. No frames are captured, saved, or transmitted.
- Speakers — Tones are generated on your device using the Web Audio API. No audio file is downloaded.
- Keyboard — Keypresses are detected only to highlight matching keys on screen. They're never logged or transmitted.
- Battery — Read directly from your browser's Battery API. The reading stays in the page.
If you close or refresh the page, every test resets and any state in memory is gone.
Permissions
The microphone and webcam tests need your browser's permission. When you grant access, the streams are used only to power the live preview and meter on this page. They are not stored, not uploaded, and not shared with anyone — not us, not third parties.
You can revoke camera or microphone access at any time from your browser's site settings.
Cookies and storage
Intake doesn't use cookies. We don't write to your browser's local storage. There's no session to track because there's nothing to track.
Analytics
We may use privacy-preserving, aggregate analytics to count page views and understand which tests are most useful. Any analytics provider we use is configured to not collect IP addresses, fingerprints, or personal identifiers. We do not share data with advertisers.
Children
Intake is a free, public utility. It is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect data from anyone, including children.
Changes
If our practices change, we'll update this page and the date at the top. There's no mailing list to notify because we don't have your email.
