Privacy Policy

The short version

Every diagnostic on Secondlook runs inside your own browser. We never receive, store or transmit your camera feed, microphone audio, keystrokes, screen contents or any serial number. There is no account, no login and no database.

What the diagnostics do with your hardware

The screen, keyboard, trackpad, speaker, microphone, camera and stress tests use standard browser APIs. When you start the microphone or camera test, your browser asks your permission and the resulting stream is processed entirely on your device and discarded when you leave the page. Nothing is recorded, uploaded or retained. Your browser permission can be revoked at any time in its site settings.

What is stored on your device

• Your inspection progress — pass/fail results from the guided audit are saved in your browser's local storage so you can close the tab mid-inspection without losing your place. It never leaves your device. Clearing your browser data deletes it.
• An offline cache — a service worker stores the pages and scripts so the site keeps working with no signal, which is the point of a tool you use at a meet-up. It holds no personal data.

Advertising

No advertising runs on this site today. No ad script is loaded and no advertising cookie is set. The layout reserves space for ads because they are planned for the future, but those spaces are empty and nothing is requested from anyone to fill them.

If that changes, this page will be updated before the first ad is served. The intention is Google AdSense. Google and its partners would then use cookies or similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites — and in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, no personalised advertising cookie would be set before you had been asked, through Google's own certified consent tool. You would be able to change or withdraw that choice at any time.

These controls work across the web whether or not this site ever shows you an ad. You can opt out of personalised advertising in Google Ads Settings, or opt out of third-party vendors at aboutads.info.

Affiliate links

Some outbound links to retailers are affiliate links. Following one may set a cookie on the retailer's own site that credits us if you buy something. That cookie is set by the retailer under their privacy policy, not by us, and it costs you nothing extra. See our affiliate disclosure.

Your rights

Because we hold no personal data about you, there is nothing for us to export or erase on request. Should advertising be switched on in the future, any data held by Google in connection with it is governed by Google's privacy policy. Under the GDPR you may also lodge a complaint with your national data protection authority.
