BACK TO QUIZ

Privacy

The short version: This quiz is designed so that your answers and results never leave your browser. We can't see them, we don't store them, and we couldn't hand them over even if someone asked. The only data we receive is basic anonymous traffic statistics from Cloudflare.

We know this quiz covers deeply personal territory. We built the privacy architecture to match.

Your quiz data stays with you

When you take this quiz, all processing happens locally in your web browser using JavaScript. Your answers are never transmitted to our server or any third party. When you get your results, they are encoded in the URL fragment — the part of the web address after the # symbol. Under the HTTP protocol specification, URL fragments are never sent to the server. We cannot see your results, and no database of results exists anywhere on our infrastructure.

When you compare results with a partner, you paste each other's URLs into the browser. The comparison happens entirely in your browser — again, nothing is sent to us.

What this means practically

  • We have zero access to your quiz answers or results
  • There is no account, no login, and no way for us to identify what any visitor answered
  • We cannot comply with a data access request for quiz results because we do not have them
  • We cannot be hacked, breached, or subpoenaed for your results — we simply don't possess them

Your results live in your URL

Because your results are encoded in the URL itself, anyone who has your results URL can view your results. Think of the URL as the results themselves.

Your results URL may also be visible in your browser history, your browser's address bar, and potentially to browser extensions installed on your device. If you use a URL shortener, the shortening service may log the full URL.

Tips for staying private

  • Use private/incognito browsing if you don't want results saved in your browser history
  • Share your results URL only with people you trust
  • Treat the URL like the results themselves — sharing the link is sharing the results
  • To "delete" your results, clear the URL from your browser history

What we do receive

Cloudflare Web Analytics

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics, a cookieless, privacy-focused analytics service provided by Cloudflare, Inc. This service collects anonymous aggregate data about page views: the page visited (URL path only — never the # fragment containing your results), your country (derived from IP address), referring website, and basic browser/operating system information.

Cloudflare Web Analytics does not set cookies, does not use localStorage, does not fingerprint your browser, and does not track you across sites. We receive only aggregate statistics (e.g., "47 visitors from Germany today") and cannot identify individual visitors. Cloudflare's privacy policy.

Standard hosting logs

Like virtually every website, our hosting infrastructure (Cloudflare Pages) automatically generates server logs containing IP addresses, timestamps, URLs requested (path only, never the # fragment), User-Agent strings, and HTTP response codes. These logs are maintained by Cloudflare for network security and abuse prevention. We process these logs under the legal basis of legitimate interest (GDPR Article 6(1)(f), Recital 49) for the purpose of ensuring network and information security.

No cookies, no tracking, no ads

This site does not set cookies. We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any advertising network. We do not serve ads. We do not sell, share, or trade any data with anyone for any purpose.

Your rights (GDPR)

We are the data controller for the limited data described above (analytics telemetry and hosting logs). Cloudflare, Inc. acts as our data processor. Cloudflare is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework for international data transfers.

We do not process special-category data under Article 9. Your quiz responses concerning sexual preferences are processed exclusively within your browser and never reach our servers.

Your rights under GDPR / UK GDPR include the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and the right to object. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority. Because we cannot identify individual visitors from aggregate analytics data, some rights may be technically impossible to fulfill.

For visitors from the United States

We do not meet the applicability thresholds of the CCPA/CPRA, Virginia CDPA, Colorado Privacy Act, or other US state privacy laws. Regardless, we do not sell personal information, do not share it for behavioral advertising, and do not process sensitive personal information on our servers.
