This page explains what IQTest-Free.io stores when you use the site, why, how long we keep it, and what you can ask us to do with it. The short version: we don't ask for your name, your email or any account, and we don't sell your data.

What we collect

When you take the test

• The questions you were given, the answer you chose for each, and how long each one took.
• Your IP address and browser user agent string.
• A session token, which is what your result link is made of.

We don't ask for your name or your email address, and there's no account to create.

After your result, if you choose

After your score is on screen you may optionally tell us your age group, country, and level of education. That's voluntary, it changes nothing about the score you already saw, and skipping it costs you nothing.

When you contact us

If you write to us through the contact form or by email, we keep your message and the email address you gave so we can reply.

What we use it for

• Calculating your score and showing it to you.
• Measuring how each question behaves, so weak questions can be retired.
• Building the distribution that everyone's score is compared against.
• Spotting abuse, which is the only reason the IP address is kept.
• Answering messages you send us.

We don't sell your data, and we don't give your answers, your result or your optional details to advertisers or data brokers. Advertising cookies are covered separately below.

Who can see your result

Your result lives at a link containing a random token. Anyone holding that link can see the score and the questions behind it, which is worth remembering before you share it. Result pages are marked so search engines don't index them.

How long we keep it

Answer records are kept indefinitely right now, because the reference distribution is built from them, and discarding old results would degrade everyone's score. We're working on hashing IP addresses and setting a fixed retention window; until that ships, this page won't claim otherwise. You can still ask us to delete your own result at any time (see "Your rights" below).

Cookies and third parties

Cookies and local storage

• A session cookie ties your browser to a test in progress. It goes when the session ends.
• Your browser's own storage keeps your answers while the test is running, so a reload doesn't lose them, and remembers whether you chose the light or dark theme. Neither leaves your device.
• Cloudflare, which protects and speeds up the site, may set cookies it needs for security, for example to tell people from automated traffic.
• Google Analytics sets cookies to count visits and the pages viewed.
• Google AdSense sets cookies to show ads and measure them. Google and its partners may use them to show you ads based on your visits to this and other websites.

Third-party services

Typefaces are loaded from Google Fonts, which means Google's servers see your IP address when a page loads. Cloudflare handles traffic to the site, so it processes your IP address and the details of each request. Google AdSense serves the ads on the page; Google explains how it uses this data in How Google uses information from sites that use its services.

Turning off personalised ads and cookies

You can turn off personalised ads in Google's Ads Settings, and you can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block the session cookie, the test may not work.

Your rights

What you can ask us to do

Depending on where you live, you can ask us to:

• tell you what data we hold about you and give you a copy;
• correct it;
• delete it;
• restrict or object to how we use it;
• withdraw consent you gave, without affecting what we did before.

Because we don't know your name or email, we need your result link to find your data. Send requests to [email protected]. We reply within one month.

Visitors in the EU, EEA and UK

You can also complain to your local data protection authority.

California residents

You have the right to know, delete and correct personal information, the right to opt out of its sale or sharing, and the right not to be treated differently for using these rights. We don't sell personal information. Advertising cookies set by Google may count as "sharing" under California law; you can opt out of personalised ads in Google's Ads Settings.

Children

This site is not intended for anyone under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. The test asks for no name, email address, or account. If you believe someone under 16 has given us personal data, contact us and we will delete it.

Data processed in other countries

Cloudflare and Google may process data in countries other than yours, including the United States.

What this test isn't

A screening test for personal insight. It isn't a clinical or diagnostic assessment, and it shouldn't be used for medical, educational, or employment decisions. See our disclaimer.

Changes and contact

When this policy changes, the date at the top changes too. Questions about privacy: [email protected].
