Privacy
PanelPeek is a static website. The screen check runs in your browser, and nothing you do on the test screens is sent to us.
What we do not collect
- No accounts and no sign-in.
- No uploads: test patterns, checklist notes and display results stay in your browser.
- No advertising, no Google Signals, and core screen-check assets run locally with no remote fonts.
Optional analytics and cookies
PanelPeek may offer optional Google Analytics 4 to understand general visitor traffic under regional privacy policies. In regions requiring prior consent (EEA, UK, Switzerland, and conservative jurisdictions) or where visitor region is unknown, measurement only activates if you explicitly choose Allow in the footer settings. In other recognized regions, measurement is enabled by default with opt-out available at any time via the footer settings (remains off if storage is blocked). If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) or Do Not Track (DNT) signal, Google analytics remains completely inactive. Refusing consent or opting out never limits any display check tool.
When enabled, Google Analytics uses pseudonymous cookies (such as _ga, expiring in up to 180 days) to distinguish unique visits, and your choice is remembered in localStorage for up to 180 days (or temporary memory if storage is unavailable). Google receives standard connection metadata, including your IP address, browser type, device details, referring domain, and clean page paths without checklist data or test results. Advertising features, Google Signals, and ad personalization are disabled with no cross-site identification; however, network requests naturally touch your IP address and we do not claim complete anonymity. Data may be processed on servers outside your country by Google and its affiliates. Learn how Google uses information from sites and see Google's privacy policy.
User and event data retention in Google Analytics is limited to 2 months with reset on new activity disabled; aggregate reports may remain longer. You can opt out or withdraw consent at any time via the footer settings, which immediately stops collection and clears Google analytics cookies without removing your local checklist notes.
What may be recorded
PanelPeek keeps its own first-party count of page views so we can tell which pages are useful. The count stores the requested page and its language, the referring host, a coarse browser/device/country classification, and a per-visitor counter derived from a random salt that is replaced every day. It uses no cookies and no third-party analytics. We do not store IP addresses, full user-agent strings, full referrer URLs or any cookie identifier; raw records are deleted after 14 days and only daily totals are kept longer.
Like most websites, the hosting provider and the network in front of it may also keep standard connection metadata for security and operations. We do not use anything here to build profiles or to identify individual visitors.
Local storage and exports
The checklist may be kept in your browser's local storage so that a refresh does not lose your notes; clearing site data removes it. When you export JSON or text, the file is created by your browser on your device, and what happens to it afterwards is up to you.
When you email us
If you write to our support address, the message is received by the email routing service of Cloudflare, which passes it on to the mailbox our operators read, hosted by Google (Gmail), and also hands a copy to a small program we run on Cloudflare, which keeps it only until our own server has fetched it — normally within minutes and never longer than 14 days. Our server, hosted by Google Cloud in the United States, keeps your email address and name, the subject, the text of the message, the technical headers and the names and sizes of any attachments (not the attachments themselves) in our internal support list for up to 180 days and then deletes them. Cloudflare's delivery log records the sender and recipient addresses, the subject and the result of the delivery for about a month. We use your message only to answer you and delete it when you ask us to.
