CanIStream provides free calculators and reference pages for streamers. This page explains what information is and isn't collected when you use the site.
Every calculator on this site runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Whatever you type in or select — your connection speed, hardware details, streaming setup — is processed on your device and is never sent to a server, stored, or seen by anyone. There's no account, no login, and no form submission happening behind the scenes.
A couple of tools use your browser's built-in APIs to guess at your hardware (like your graphics card) automatically. That detection also happens entirely on your device and is only used to pre-fill the form — it isn't transmitted anywhere.
This site is supported in part by Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies or similar technology to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising through Google's Ads Settings or aboutads.info.
Some pages include affiliate links (for example, to gear like capture cards or external drives). If you click one and make a purchase, this site may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This helps keep the tools free. Product recommendations are chosen because they're genuinely relevant to the tool you're using, not solely because of the commission.
This site may use privacy-conscious analytics (such as visit counts and which pages are popular) to understand what's useful and worth building more of. This policy will be updated if and when a specific analytics provider is added.
This policy may be updated from time to time as the site grows — for example, if a new ad network or analytics tool is added. Check back here if you want the current version.
