Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 27, 2026

Mental Age Quiz ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website mental-age-quiz.com. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

1. Information We Collect

Information You Provide

  • Age input: When you take a quiz, you enter your age. This is used solely to calculate your mental age result and is not stored on our servers.
  • Quiz answers: Your responses to quiz questions are processed in real time to generate your result. We do not store individual quiz answers in a database.
  • Open-ended responses: If you provide a text answer to the open-ended question, it is encoded into your result URL and is not stored separately.

Information Collected Automatically

  • Log data: Our servers may automatically record standard log information, including your IP address, browser type, referring page, and the date and time of your visit.
  • Cookies: We use essential cookies required for the website to function (e.g., CSRF protection). We do not use tracking cookies or third-party advertising cookies.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information described above to:

  • Generate and display your quiz results
  • Enable the share and friend-challenge features
  • Display aggregate, anonymized statistics (e.g., average mental age by age group)
  • Maintain and improve the website's performance and security

3. Data Storage & Retention

Mental Age Quiz is designed with privacy in mind:

  • No user accounts: We do not require registration or login.
  • No personal database: Quiz results are encoded directly into shareable URLs using client-side tokens. We do not maintain a database of individual user results.
  • Server logs: Standard server logs are retained for up to 30 days for security and debugging purposes, then automatically deleted.

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share data only in these limited circumstances:

  • Service providers: We use hosting providers to serve the website. These providers may process server log data on our behalf.
  • Legal requirements: We may disclose information if required by law or in response to a valid legal process.

5. Third-Party Services

  • Google Fonts: We load fonts from Google Fonts, which may collect your IP address. See Google's Privacy Policy.
  • Tailwind CSS CDN: We load CSS from a CDN, which may log access requests.

We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any other third-party tracking or advertising tools.

6. Your Rights

Since we do not store personal data in a database, there is generally no personal data to access, correct, or delete. However, you have the right to:

  • Clear your browser cookies at any time
  • Request information about any data we may hold about you
  • Contact us with privacy-related questions or concerns

7. Children's Privacy

Our quiz is available to users aged 8 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without parental consent. Our "Quiz for Kids" variant is designed to be taken with parental supervision. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.

8. Security

We use industry-standard security measures to protect the website, including:

  • HTTPS encryption on all pages
  • HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS)
  • CSRF protection on form submissions
  • Content Security headers (X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options)

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the website after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
