Privacy
We wrote this policy to explain, without legal padding, how Free IQ Test treats information about the people who use the free IQ test on iqtestfree.org. Everything below applies across the site, from the tool to the help articles.
The site and its operator
Free IQ Test is a free online free IQ test published at iqtestfree.org. The site's operator is responsible for the processing described here and can be reached at [email protected]. For the purposes of the GDPR and similar laws, that operator is the data controller.
The data involved
Free IQ Test has no registration, no logins and no paid plans, so there is no account data to collect. The tool does its work locally, on your device, and its inputs and results are not uploaded to iqtestfree.org. Below we list the technical data that is collected through server logs, analytics and advertising, and why.
Local processing
To save you retyping, the free IQ test keeps some of your entries in your browser's local storage. It lives only in the browser you used and is never uploaded to us. Clearing cookies and site data for iqtestfree.org removes it completely.
About cookies
Cookies, and similar technologies such as pixels and local storage, let a site or the services it uses keep small pieces of data in your browser. The cookies in use on iqtestfree.org belong to the analytics and advertising services covered in the next sections, not to the tool itself. Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies, and doing so will not stop the free IQ test from working.
How we measure use of the site
To learn how visitors use iqtestfree.org, we rely on two analytics services: Yandex Metrica and Microsoft Clarity. The data they gather includes pages viewed, visit length, referrer, browser and device details and a coarse location derived from your IP address. Their session replays and heatmaps show how people click, scroll and move through a page, which helps us fix usability problems.
They set their own cookies, and Yandex and Microsoft handle the data under their own privacy statements. We use these reports to improve the site, not to identify you.
Ads on iqtestfree.org
We show advertising on iqtestfree.org to cover the cost of running the site. The ads are supplied by third-party ad networks, which may set cookies and use device data, such as your IP address and browser details, to choose ads and measure how they perform. Where permitted, networks may personalise ads using your browsing on other sites as well as this one. We do not give advertisers the values you enter into the free IQ test; ad networks handle the data they collect under their own policies. Opt-out tools from the advertising industry, available at optout.aboutads.info and youronlinechoices.eu, cover many networks; browser cookie settings work as well.
Web server logs
Standard web server logs are kept for iqtestfree.org. They show which page was requested, when, from which IP address and with which browser (the user agent). They help us block abuse, fix problems and count traffic.
Our legal bases
Where the GDPR or the UK GDPR applies, processing relies on these grounds:
- Consent where the law requires it for analytics and advertising technologies.
- Legitimate interests for security logging, troubleshooting and basic statistics.
- Providing the service you ask for, which covers the local storage that remembers your entries.
- Correspondence: emails you send are used only to respond to you.
Retention
We keep information only as long as it is needed: server logs are deleted on a rolling basis after a limited period, unless an entry is needed to investigate an attack or abuse. Third-party services keep the data they collect for the periods set out in their own policies. Data saved in local storage stays in your browser until you delete it. Messages you send are kept only as long as the conversation requires.
International transfers
Data collected through iqtestfree.org may be processed by service providers located in other countries. The level of legal protection there may differ from that of your home country.
Your privacy rights
Data protection law in many places gives you rights over your data: access, correction, erasure, restriction, portability and the right to object. You may withdraw consent at any time, without affecting processing that took place before.
Since the site has no user accounts, we can usually find data about you only if you give us details like your IP address and the time of your visit. If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, you can complain to the supervisory authority in your country. Requests can be sent to [email protected].
Notice for California residents
If you are a California resident, the CCPA, as amended by the CPRA, gives you the right to know what personal information is collected about you, to request its deletion or correction, and to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information. We do not sell personal information in the ordinary sense, and visitor data is not exchanged for payment.
Advertising cookies, though, can amount to “sharing” for cross-context behavioural advertising as California law defines it. You can opt out by turning on the Global Privacy Control signal in your browser, blocking third-party cookies, or contacting us. You will not be discriminated against for exercising any of them.
Security measures
Connections to iqtestfree.org use HTTPS encryption. Server access is restricted to the site's operator. No system is perfectly secure; still, your tool inputs stay on your device.
Children's data
Free IQ Test is a general-audience site and is not directed to children under 13, or under 16 in the EEA and the UK. No personal information is knowingly collected from children. Parents or guardians who think a child has contacted us can ask us to delete that information.
Updates to this policy
This policy is updated when our practices change. Whatever appears here is the policy that applies.
