1. Introduction
Welcome to ReactionTest. We provide free online tools and training games designed to measure and improve your visual and auditory response speed, decision-making, attention, accuracy, and consistency. To make these tests work seamlessly and to help you track your performance over time, we need to process certain information about you and your device.
We believe that privacy is a fundamental right, not just a legal requirement. This Privacy Policy explains in plain language how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit https://reactiontest.app. It also outlines your rights under global privacy laws, including the GDPR, UK GDPR, PIPEDA, CCPA/CPRA, and other US state privacy laws.
If you have any questions about how we handle your data, please reach out to us at contact@reactiontest.app.
2. What We Collect & Why
We only collect information that helps us deliver, secure, and improve our reaction tests. Here is a breakdown of what we collect and our legal basis for doing so:
Information You Give Us Directly
While you can take our tests without creating a formal account, you may choose to provide us with your name and email address to receive marketing communications, track your performance over time, or contact support.
- Legal Basis: Consent (when you opt-in to marketing) and Legitimate Interest (to respond to your inquiries).
Information We Collect Automatically
When you visit ReactionTest, our servers automatically record certain technical data. This includes your device information (such as browser type and operating system), cookies and tracking data, usage analytics (how you interact with our tests), and technical logs (including your IP address). We need this data to calculate your reaction speeds accurately and ensure the site functions properly.
- Legal Basis: Legitimate Interest (to ensure network security and optimize performance) and Consent (for non-essential tracking cookies).
Information from Third Parties
We receive aggregated analytics and security data from our third-party partners, specifically Google Analytics and Cloudflare. This helps us understand global performance benchmarks and protects our site from malicious traffic.
- Legal Basis: Legitimate Interest (to protect our services and analyze user trends).
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for specific, limited purposes:
- Core Service Delivery: We use your device data and technical logs to run the interactive tests, measure your reaction times, and display your results.
- Service Improvement and Personalization: We analyze usage data to create global benchmarks, allowing you to compare your scores with others. This also helps us design better training games.
- Communication: If you reach out to us, we use your contact information to reply.
- Security and Fraud Prevention: We monitor technical logs to detect unusual activity, prevent cheating on our leaderboards, and defend against cyber attacks.
- Marketing: With your permission, we use your email to send you promotional activities and updates about new reaction tests. You can opt out of these communications at any time.
- Legal Compliance: We may process your data to comply with applicable global laws and regulations.
5. Your Privacy Rights
No matter where you live—whether covered by the GDPR in Europe, PIPEDA in Canada, or state laws in California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, or Texas—we grant you the following rights regarding your data:
- Access Your Data: You can request a copy of the personal information we hold about you. We will provide this within 30 days.
- Correct Inaccuracies: If your information is wrong, let us know and we will update it.
- Delete Your Data: You can ask us to erase your personal data. We will do so unless we have a legal obligation to keep it.
- Port Your Data: You can request your data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format to transfer to another service.
- Opt-Out of Marketing & Sharing: You can easily unsubscribe from marketing emails via the link in the email footer. You can also opt out of data sharing/selling via our website footer or an authorized agent.
- Withdraw Consent: Where we rely on your consent, you can withdraw it at any time. This will not affect the legality of our processing before you withdrew consent.
- Lodge Complaints: You have the right to complain to a data protection authority about our privacy practices.
To exercise any of these rights, please email contact@reactiontest.app.
6. Data Security
We take the security of your reaction times and technical data seriously. We use industry-standard encryption (HTTPS) to protect data in transit, and we rely on Cloudflare's robust security infrastructure to manage access controls and monitor for vulnerabilities.
However, we want to be honest: no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. You can help protect your data by using secure networks and keeping your device software up to date.
In the unlikely event of a data breach that compromises your personal information, we will notify you and the relevant authorities within the timeframes required by law (typically within 72 hours).
7. Data Retention
We keep your personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy. Our retention logic is as follows:
- Active Usage Data: We keep your performance data and benchmarks for as long as you actively use our service, plus a reasonable buffer of 24 months of inactivity, so you don't lose your progress.
- Technical Logs: Server logs and IP addresses are retained for 12 months for security auditing and troubleshooting purposes, after which they are automatically deleted.
- Marketing Preferences: We keep your contact information until you withdraw your consent or opt out.
- Legal Records: Any data related to legal compliance or financial records (if applicable) is kept for 7 years to meet statutory requirements.
8. Cookies & Tracking
ReactionTest uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to make our site work and to understand how users interact with our tests.
- Essential Cookies: These are necessary for the website to function (like remembering your test progress during a session) and cannot be switched off.
- Analytics Cookies: We use Google Analytics to collect usage data. This helps us see which tests are most popular and where we need to improve.
You can manage your cookie preferences at any time through the cookie banner on our website or by adjusting your browser settings.
9. Children's Privacy
Our reaction tests are designed for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 (in the US) or 16 (in the EU/EEA and UK). If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal data, please contact us at contact@reactiontest.app. If we discover that we have inadvertently collected data from a child without parental consent, we will delete it immediately.
10. International Transfers
ReactionTest operates globally. To provide our services, your data may be transferred to, stored, and processed in countries outside of your home jurisdiction, including the United States.
When we transfer data originating from the EU, EEA, or UK to other countries, we ensure it is protected by appropriate legal safeguards. We rely on Adequacy Decisions where applicable, Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, or your Explicit Consent. Your privacy rights remain fully intact regardless of where your data is processed.
11. Changes to This Policy
Privacy laws and our business operations evolve, so we will occasionally update this Privacy Policy. When we make significant changes, we will notify you by posting a prominent notice on our website or sending you an email (if you have provided one).
The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the latest changes took effect. Any data collected under a previous version of this policy will continue to be treated in accordance with the commitments made at the time it was collected.

To run ReactionTest effectively, we engage third-party vendors known as sub-processors. Our current sub-processors are:
- Google Analytics (Data analytics and performance tracking)
- Cloudflare (Content delivery network and security)
