Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how VocalRangeTester.com collects, uses, and handles information when you visit or use this website. VocalRangeTester.com is operated by John Mayer (contact available via the Contact page).

By using this website, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the site.

1. Overview

VocalRangeTester.com is a free educational website providing browser-based tools for vocal range measurement, pitch detection, and voice analysis. The site is designed to function without requiring users to create accounts or submit personal information.

Our approach to privacy is straightforward: we collect only what is necessary to operate the site and improve the user experience. We do not sell personal data. We do not store audio input. We do not build user profiles.

2. Audio and Microphone Data

Several tools on VocalRangeTester.com — including the Vocal Range Calculator, Pitch Detector, Pitch Accuracy Analyzer, Voice Type Classifier, and Deep Voice Test — require access to your device microphone to function.

How audio is handled:

Microphone access is requested through your browser using the standard browser permission prompt
All audio input is processed in real time entirely within your browser using the Web Audio API — a standard technology built into modern browsers
Audio is not recorded, not stored, not uploaded, and not transmitted to any server
No audio files are created at any point during or after your session
When you close or leave the tool page, no audio data is retained anywhere
Audio processing never leaves your device

This design means VocalRangeTester.com has no access to your voice recordings, cannot replay your sessions, and holds no audio data about you at any time.

If you choose not to grant microphone permission, you can still access all articles and educational content on the site. Only the interactive vocal tools require microphone access.

3. Information You Provide Voluntarily

If you contact VocalRangeTester.com through the Contact page, we receive:

Your email address
The content of your message

This information is used only to respond to your inquiry. It is not shared with third parties, not used for marketing, and not added to any mailing list. Contact data is retained only as long as necessary to resolve the inquiry.

4. Automatically Collected Information

When you visit VocalRangeTester.com, certain technical information is collected automatically by analytics tools. This may include:

Browser type and version
Device category (desktop, mobile, tablet)
Operating system
Pages visited and time spent on each page
Referring URL (the page you came from)
Approximate geographic region (country or city level — not precise location)
Session duration and general interaction data

This information is aggregated and does not identify individual users. It is used to understand how the site is used, which tools and articles are most helpful, and where technical issues may be occurring.

5. Google Analytics

VocalRangeTester.com uses Google Analytics to measure website traffic and usage patterns. Google Analytics collects the automatically collected data described in Section 4 above.

Google Analytics data is processed by Google LLC and is subject to Google’s Privacy Policy, available at policies.google.com/privacy.

Google Analytics does not collect audio input or microphone data. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

6. Google AdSense and Advertising

VocalRangeTester.com uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google AdSense is an advertising service provided by Google LLC.

How Google AdSense uses cookies:

Google AdSense uses cookies — including the DoubleClick cookie — to serve ads to users based on their prior visits to this website and other websites on the internet. These cookies allow Google and its partners to show you ads that are relevant to your interests.

Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to VocalRangeTester.com and other sites across the internet. Users may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings at adssettings.google.com.

Alternatively, users can opt out of third-party vendor use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting aboutads.info/choices or networkadvertising.org/choices.

What Google AdSense does not collect:

Google AdSense does not have access to your microphone, does not collect audio input, and does not have access to any vocal analysis data generated by the tools on this site. Advertising cookies are entirely separate from the audio processing that occurs when you use the vocal tools.

7. Cookies

VocalRangeTester.com uses cookies for the following purposes:

Essential cookies — required for basic site functionality such as page navigation and tool operation. Without these, parts of the site may not function correctly.

Analytics cookies — used by Google Analytics to collect aggregated usage data as described in Section 5. These cookies do not identify individual users.

Advertising cookies — used by Google AdSense to display relevant advertisements as described in Section 6. These cookies are set by Google, not directly by VocalRangeTester.com.

Disabling cookies may affect the functionality of certain site features and the ability to display personalised advertising. Full details on cookie types and browser-level management instructions are available in the Cookies Policy.

8. Third-Party Services

VocalRangeTester.com uses the following third-party services that may process limited data:

Service	Purpose	Privacy Policy
Google Analytics	Website traffic measurement	policies.google.com/privacy
Google AdSense	Advertising	policies.google.com/privacy
WordPress / Hosting	Site infrastructure	Provider’s own policy

These services receive only the data necessary to perform their functions. VocalRangeTester.com does not sell, rent, or share personal data with any third party for their own marketing purposes.

9. Children’s Privacy

VocalRangeTester.com is intended for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you believe a child under 13 has submitted personal information through the Contact page, please notify us immediately via the Contact page so it can be removed.

10. Data Security

Reasonable technical and organisational measures are in place to protect the limited data handled by this site. However, no online system can be guaranteed completely secure. Users should be aware of this when submitting information through the Contact page.

The audio processing design of this site — in which all audio is handled locally in the user’s browser and never transmitted — means the most sensitive data (your voice) never reaches our servers at any point.
