Our Commitment to Your Privacy
Welcome to Responsive Test Tool ("we," "our," or "us"). We operate the website at responsivechecktool.com (the "Service"). This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and share information when you use our Service.
We built this tool to help developers and designers test their websites โ not to collect your personal data. Our default stance is to collect as little information as possible while still delivering a high-quality, reliable experience.
Information We Collect
We collect two categories of information: data you provide directly, and data collected automatically when you use our Service.
Information You Provide
- URLs you enter โ When you paste a website URL to preview it. These are processed in your browser session and are not stored on our servers.
- Contact form submissions โ If you reach out to us via email or a contact form, we receive your name and email address solely to respond to your inquiry.
Automatically Collected Data
- Usage data โ Page views, session duration, feature interactions, and referring URLs collected via analytics tools.
- Log data โ IP address, browser type, operating system, device type, and timestamps of requests made to our servers.
- Cookies & local storage โ We use cookies for theme preferences (dark/light mode) and anonymous session analytics. See Section 05 for full details.
How We Use Your Information
Every piece of data we collect serves a specific, legitimate purpose. We do not sell your data. Here is exactly how we use what we collect:
| Data Type | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|
| URLs entered | Load website preview in your browser via iFrame | Session only โ never stored |
| Analytics data | Understand feature usage, improve performance & UX | Up to 14 months (aggregated) |
| Log data (IP, browser) | Security monitoring, abuse prevention, error diagnostics | 30 days, then deleted |
| Contact form data | Respond to your inquiries and support requests | Until request resolved + 90 days |
| Theme preference cookie | Remember your dark/light mode preference | 1 year (local, never sent to servers) |
Sharing & Third Parties
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share limited data only in the following circumstances:
- Service providers โ Trusted vendors who help us operate the Service (e.g., hosting, CDN, analytics). They receive only the minimum data needed and are contractually bound to protect it.
- Legal requirements โ If required by law, court order, or to protect the rights and safety of our users or the public, we may disclose information to authorities.
- Business transfers โ In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your data may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to the same privacy protections.
Third-Party Services We Use

|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics | Anonymous usage statistics | View Policy |
| Cloudflare | CDN, DDoS protection, performance | View Policy |
| Google Fonts | Typography delivery | View Policy |
| Microlink API | Website screenshot generation | View Policy |
Data Security
We take security seriously and implement industry-standard measures to protect the limited data we do collect:
- HTTPS encryption โ All traffic between your browser and our servers is encrypted using TLS 1.3.
- Minimal data collection โ The less we store, the less there is to protect. Our primary security strategy is not collecting data we don't need.
- Access control โ Any collected analytics data is accessible only to authorized team members.
- No password storage โ Since we have no accounts, we never store passwords or authentication credentials.
- Automatic deletion โ Log data is automatically purged after 30 days.
No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Cookies & Local Storage
We use a minimal number of cookies. Here is a full breakdown of every cookie we set:
| Cookie / Key | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| theme | Functional | Stores your dark/light mode preference (localStorage) | Persistent |
| _ga, _gid | Analytics | Google Analytics session & user distinction | 2 years / 24h |
| _gat | Analytics | Throttle Google Analytics request rate | 1 minute |
| __cf_bm | Security | Cloudflare bot management | 30 minutes |
You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time. Disabling analytics cookies will not affect the core functionality of the tool โ it will still work perfectly.
Your Rights & Choices

- Right to Access โ Request a copy of any personal data we hold about you.
- Right to Correction โ Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information.

Children's Privacy
Our Service is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13 years of age. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately.
If we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will delete such information from our servers promptly.
