This policy explains what IQTests does and doesn’t do with your information. The short version: the test is scored in your browser, we don’t require an account or email to take it, and we don’t sell personal data to anyone.
What we collect
Taking the test requires no name, no email, and no account. Your answers are processed on your device to produce the score and are not uploaded to us. The only time you volunteer personal data is if you choose to use our contact form, which sends the name, email, and message you enter so we can reply. We may also process limited, standard technical data — such as anonymised, aggregate usage statistics and basic server logs — to keep the site working and understand broad traffic patterns.
Cookies and local storage
We keep this minimal and never use advertising cookies. The small files the test may store on your device — for example, to remember your most recent result or a preference — are listed item by item in our cookie policy.
What we never do
We do not sell or rent your personal information, we do not run third-party advertising trackers, and we do not build marketing profiles about you. There is no data business hiding behind the free test.
Your rights and choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights under the GDPR, the UK GDPR, or the CCPA — including access to, correction of, deletion of, or a copy of any personal data we hold. Because we store so little, these requests are usually quick. Write to us through the contact page from the email address you used, and we will match and action the request. You can also clear the test’s stored values yourself at any time through your browser settings.
Data retention and security
We retain contact-form messages only as long as needed to handle your enquiry, then delete them. Information in transit is protected by standard encryption (HTTPS), and we limit access to anything you send us.
Children
IQTests is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children. A child may take the test for fun, but we do not knowingly collect personal information from children, and online results are not a reliable measure for them — see our note on this in the methodology.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, we update the date below and post the revised version here. Material changes will be clearly reflected on this page.
This policy sits alongside our terms of use, and you can read more about the project on the about page. Questions about your privacy? The contact page reaches a real person.
