Privacy: what we keep when you take the test, and how to delete it

The short version

• We keep your answers and your result so that your result link works. You can delete it at any time.
• We never see your card details. Your email is used only to send you your report link.
• We do not sell your data and do not use it for marketing.
• Psychology Test is not a medical or psychological service, and it is for adults (18 and over).

What we store

• Your 20 answers, the scores worked out from them, and the written result and report.
• A random visitor id, kept in your browser's local storage. It lets us count visits and tests without knowing who you are.
• A salted one-way hash of your IP address, used only to limit abuse, such as too many tests from one connection in a day. The IP address itself is not stored.
• Where your visit started: the page you arrived on, the host name of the site that sent you (for example, google.com), and any campaign tags in the link.
• Your browser's time zone.
• The steps of a visit: page viewed, test started, test finished, result viewed, checkout opened and payment made.
• If you pay: the time of the payment and Stripe's reference for it. Your email address is passed to us once to send your report link and is not kept in our database; Stripe keeps its own record of the payment.
• If you write to us: your name, email address and message reach us by email. They are not stored on the site.

Who else handles it

• OpenAI receives your answers and scores to write your result text and report. No name or email address is sent with them.
• Stripe handles payments. We never see your card details. Stripe gives us the email address you entered at checkout; we use it once, to send you the link to your report, and never for marketing.
• Resend is our email provider. It sends the report link and delivers contact form messages to us.
• Railway hosts the site and its database.
• Cloudflare serves the site and protects it from attacks.
• Google Ads: a Google Ads tag measures visits and purchases that come from our ads, and may set cookies to do so.

Cookies and local storage

Our own code sets no cookies. It keeps the random visitor id, and a note of where your visit came from, in your browser's local storage. The Google Ads tag may set cookies. You can clear all of this in your browser settings at any time; the test still works without it.

How long we keep it

Results that were not paid for are deleted after 90 days. Paid reports are kept until you delete them, so your link keeps working. The visit steps listed above are kept for statistics; they contain no answers, scores, names or email addresses.

Deleting your result

On your result page, use the "Delete my result" button. It removes your answers, scores, result and report for good, and the link stops working. If you have lost the link, write to us through the contact page with the email address you used at checkout, and we will delete it for you.

Asking what we hold

You can ask what we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, or object to how we use it, through the contact page. Because there are no accounts, we may ask for your result link or the email address you used at checkout so we can find your data.

Adults only

The site is for adults, 18 and over. Please do not use it if you are younger.

Not a medical service

Psychology Test is not a medical or psychological service. Results are for self-reflection, not a diagnosis.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we update the date at the top of this page. Questions go through the contact page. The terms of use cover payments and refunds.
