Privacy Policy

Effective date: June 2026

The short version: We collect only what you type into the quiz. We don't sell it, store it, or share it. Ever.

What we do NOT collect

Payment information

Use by minors

This tool is designed for use by students aged 16 and older (typically high school juniors and seniors), or by parents and guardians on behalf of students. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you are under 16, please have a parent or guardian use this tool on your behalf.

Because we do not store any user data, there is no personal information to delete or request. Each session is completely independent.

Data sources
