Privacy policy
Short version: no account, no sign-up, and your test result isn't stored. The rest of this page covers cookies, analytics and ads.

What information does this site collect?
Nothing that identifies you. There are no accounts, no sign-up and no email needed anywhere on the site. Test and quiz answers are scored in your browser. They aren't sent to a server or stored. You can share your result because your letters and scores are written into the page link, not because we saved anything about you.
Does this site use cookies?
Only the kinds described below. We have no accounts or saved settings, so we don't need cookies of our own. If analytics or ads are turned on (see the next two sections), those companies set their own cookies.
Do you use analytics?
When it's turned on, we use Google Analytics (GA4) to see overall traffic: which pages people visit, roughly how they found us, and which content does well. GA4 uses cookies and similar tools and may collect your IP address and general device and browser details. It doesn't get your test answers or results. See Google's privacy policy for how they handle that data, and Google's Ads Settings page to opt out of personalised advertising and analytics use across Google services.
Does this site show ads?
Not yet. Ads stay off until a network like Google AdSense approves us and we switch them on. Once ads are live, the network may use cookies to show ads based on your visits here and on other sites, under its own privacy policy. We'll name the network here once one is active.
What about links to other sites?
Pages here link out to sources like the International Personality Item Pool (ipip.ori.org) and, when ads are active, to advertiser sites. Those sites have their own privacy practices, which this policy doesn't cover.
Is this site directed at children?
No. This site isn't meant for children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from them. If you think a child has given us information, contact us and we'll remove it. In practice there's usually nothing to remove, because we don't collect personal data.
What choices do you have?
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time. That may change how analytics sees your visit, but the test and quizzes will still work, since they run in your browser. For Google, the Ads Settings page lets you turn off personalised ads, and the Google Analytics opt-out add-on blocks GA4 in that browser.
Will this policy change?
Yes, probably once ads and analytics go live. We'll post any real changes on this page and update the date below. There's no mailing list, so check back if a detail matters to you.
