Privacy policy

BacklightBleedTest.org is committed to protecting the privacy of our users and their personal information. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of information we collect, how it is used, and the measures we take to ensure the protection of your data.

The purpose of this policy is to provide clarity and transparency on how we handle personal information and to assure our users that their privacy is of the utmost importance to us. The scope of this policy applies to all users of BacklightBleedTest.org and its related services.

We take our commitment to privacy seriously and have implemented appropriate measures to secure the information we collect. We encourage all users to review this policy carefully. We also encourage our users to read our cookie policy.

I. Data Collection

Types of data collected

BacklightBleedTest.org directly collects two types of data from its users:

  1. Hashed IP addresses for Matomo analytics.
  2. Anonymous backlight bleed test usage statistics.

All the data is anonymized and cannot be linked to any particular individual user.

BacklightBleedTest.org uses third-party services such as Adsterra and Monetag to generate revenue and to provide additional features and enhance the user experience. These services may collect data through the use of cookies. It is important to note that we do not control the data collection practices of these third-party services and encourage users to review their privacy policies to understand their data collection practices.

Purpose of Data Collection

The purpose of collecting anonymized IP addresses (e.g. 192.168.X.X) is to track website usage and traffic through Matomo and to ensure the security of our website and user data. Anonymous backlight bleed test usage statistics are collected to improve the quality of our services and better understand display performance.

Data Collection Methods

The data collection of hashed IP addresses is done through a self-hosted instance of Matomo, an open-source web analytics platform. The anonymous usage statistics are collected when users interact with our testing tool. Both methods are designed to keep user data secure and protected.

II. Data Use

Purpose of Data Use

At BacklightBleedTest.org, we use the data collected from our users to analyze and improve the performance of our website, as well as to enhance our users' experience. We do not sell any data we collect.

We have implemented technical, administrative, and physical security measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction of the data we collect.
