What information do we gather about you?
Automatically collected information
If you're just browsing our website, we collect the same general information
as most other sites out there do, such as cookies and web server logs.
We collect this from everybody, no matter if you're taking our tests
or just reading the articles on our website.
Our website uses HTTPS encryption
in the communication between your browser and our servers, so no information
will be transferred over the internet without encryption.
We also use Google Analytics
to monitor users visiting our website. Google Analytics collects information
about visitor's browser type, language, referring site, date and time of each request,
and much more. Please read more about Google Analytics at the link above.
We use
Google AdSense
to show ads on our website. For more information on how Google uses information
from sites that use Google's services, please visit
Google's Privacy & Terms
page.

This information is collected from the data you provide to us.
How is the information used?
The information is used to calculate an accurate IQ score for the visitor
from the data he/she provides us. From the optional fields 3-8
(see the paragraph "Personal information you provide to us"),
we also make a paid PDF report with an in-depth peer group analysis
if that information is given to us.
Your IP address is collected for tax reasons to locate your country.
We are using an IP location service called "IPAPI"
(https://ipapi.com)
to resolve your country based on your IP address. HTTPS Encryption is used
between our servers and the IPAPI service.
This site or product includes IP2Location LITE data available from https://lite.ip2location.com.
With whom do we share your personal information?
The information we collect will be maintained on servers located in the European Union (EU).
If you're visiting our site from elsewhere, your information will be kept outside
of your country. However, we will take all required measures to ensure that
your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
When you buy a test from us, your payment will be processed by
Braintree,
a payment service owned and operated by
PayPal.
For more information about what personal data will be collected by Braintree or PayPal, see the
Braintree Privacy Policy
and the
Legal Agreements for PayPal Services.
Disclosure of your personal information
If we are involved in the sale of a business, your personal information may be
transferred. We will notify you before your personal information is transferred
and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
How long we retain your personal information?
We will retain your personal information only for as long as it is necessary
to calculate the IQ Score reliably and to form a peer group analysis
based on the information you give to us with the help of the
Gaussian curve.
For performance reasons, we may clean our database at quantitative intervals.
However, your information will be saved for at least 14 days to allow you
to download the IQ Test Report within that time. We do not guarantee
that the IQ Test Results will be available for download after that time.
