Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how SingingRangeTest.com collects, uses, and handles information when you visit or use this website. SingingRangeTest.com is operated by Sam Cooke (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

SingingRangeTest.com is a free educational website providing browser-based tools for singing range measurement, vocal register analysis, pitch accuracy testing, and related educational content.

Our approach to privacy:

We do not require user accounts or registration
We do not sell personal information to any party
We do not record, store, or transmit audio input from your microphone
We do not build voice profiles or connect your singing activity to any personal identifier
Data collection is limited to what is necessary to operate the website and display advertising

2. Audio and Microphone Use

Several tools on SingingRangeTest.com — including the three Singing Range Test modes (Quick, Professional, and Guided), the Vocal Range Calculator, Pitch Accuracy Test, High Note Test, Low Note Test, Singing Note Detector, Voice Type Test, and Perfect Pitch Test — require access to your device microphone to detect vocal pitch in real time.

How audio is handled:

Microphone access is requested through your browser’s standard permission system — never without your explicit approval
All audio processing occurs in real time inside your browser using the Web Audio API
Audio is not recorded, not stored, not uploaded, and not transmitted to any server at any point
No audio files are created during or after your session
When you close or leave a tool page, no audio data is retained anywhere
Your voice data is never connected to any cookie, analytics identifier, or advertising profile

If you deny microphone access, you can still access all articles, educational content, and singer range pages on the site. Only the interactive vocal tools require microphone permission.

3. Automatically Collected Information

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

This information is aggregated and does not identify individual users. It is used to understand how the site is used and improve tool performance and content.
