Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how Mic Test — Team Management Office ("Mic Test," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit and use our website at mictest.online (the "Site") and all associated tools and services (collectively, the "Service").

We are committed to protecting your privacy and being fully transparent about our data practices. This policy is written in plain language so that every user — regardless of technical background — can understand exactly what happens with their data when they use our Service.

By accessing or using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the practices described here, please discontinue use of the Service.

Mic Test is operated by Mic Test — Team Management Office, a business entity based in the United States. We are the data controller responsible for your personal data as described in this Privacy Policy.

We collect the absolute minimum data necessary to operate and improve the Service. Below is a complete and transparent breakdown of every category of information we may collect:

This is the most important section of our Privacy Policy. Given the nature of our Service — a microphone testing tool — we want to be exceptionally clear about how audio data is handled.

Here is precisely what happens when you grant microphone permission and run a test:

The limited, anonymised technical data we do collect is used exclusively for the following purposes. We do not use data for any purpose beyond those listed below:

We use a minimal number of cookies and similar technologies. We do not use advertising cookies, behavioural tracking cookies, or any cookies that identify you personally.

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling essential cookies may affect the functionality of certain features of the Service. For more information on managing cookies, visit your browser's help documentation.

We use a small number of carefully selected third-party services to operate the Site. Each service is evaluated for privacy compliance before use. Below is a transparent overview of the third-party services we may use and their data practices:

We do not integrate any advertising networks, data brokers, social media tracking pixels, or any service that would allow third parties to build profiles on our users. All third-party services are contractually required to process data only as instructed by us and in compliance with applicable privacy law.

We do not sell, rent, trade, or share your personal data with third parties for their own commercial purposes. The only circumstances under which we may disclose information are:

We retain data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. Our data retention schedule is as follows:

When data reaches the end of its retention period, it is securely deleted or permanently anonymised so that it can no longer be linked to any individual user.

We implement industry-standard technical and organisational security measures to protect the limited data we do collect against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

Despite our efforts, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. In the event of a data breach affecting your rights, we will notify affected users as required by applicable law.

The Service is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years of age. Our Service requires no account creation and collects no personal data, which significantly reduces privacy risks for younger users who may use the Site.

If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take immediate steps to delete that information from our records. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately at info@mictestpro.com.

Users between the ages of 13 and 18 may use the Service with the knowledge and consent of a parent or legal guardian. We encourage parents to be involved in their children's online activities.

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have some or all of the following rights regarding your personal data. Because we collect minimal data and require no account, many of these rights are automatically satisfied by our privacy-first architecture.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at info@mictestpro.com. We will respond to all requests within 30 days. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests.

If you are a California resident, you have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). As a California-based business, we are committed to full compliance with these laws.

To submit a CCPA request, please contact us at info@mictestpro.com or by mail at 2701 Ming Ave, Bakersfield, CA 93304, United States. We will respond within 45 days as required by the CCPA.

Our Service is operated from the United States. If you are accessing the Service from outside the United States — including from the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or Switzerland — please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in the United States.

For users in the EEA and UK, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) provides you with specific rights regarding your personal data. Our legal bases for processing the limited data we collect are:

If you are in the EEA or UK and have concerns about our data practices, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority. For UK users, this is the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO). For EEA users, this is your national data protection authority.

We reserve the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, provide a more prominent notice on the Site.

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information. Your continued use of the Service following any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.
