Privacy Policy

This policy explains what data IQCognify collects, how we use it, who we share it with, and the rights you have over your information under laws such as the GDPR and CCPA.

Last updated · IQCognify

Overview

IQCognify ("we", "us") operates the website at https://iqcognify.com. We respect your privacy and collect only what we need to run a free IQ test and keep the service secure and improving. This policy describes our practices and your choices.

By default, your test results are stored locally in your own browser. We do not associate them with a named account unless you choose to create one.

Information we collect

Test responses and results

When you take the test we process your answers and timing to compute your score, percentile, and classification. By default the result is saved in your browser's local storage on your device. If you create an account, we store the associated result on our servers so it can be retrieved.

Account information (optional)

If you choose to create an account, we collect the details needed to maintain it, such as your email address and authentication data. You can use the free test without an account.

Analytics and usage data

We use Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity to understand how the site is used and to improve it. These tools may collect information such as your approximate location, device and browser type, pages viewed, referring site, and interactions. Microsoft Clarity may capture aggregated interaction data such as clicks and scrolling to produce heatmaps and session insights.

Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and local storage for essential functionality and for analytics. See our Cookie Policy for the details and your controls.

How we use your information

  • To administer the test and compute and display your results.
  • To operate, secure, and improve the website and detect misuse or fraud.
  • To understand aggregate usage through analytics.
  • To respond to your inquiries and requests.
  • To comply with legal obligations.

Our legal bases for processing (where the GDPR applies) include your consent (for example, for non-essential analytics cookies) and our legitimate interests in running and improving a secure service.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with service providers who help us operate, and only as needed:

  • Analytics providers (Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity) for usage measurement.
  • Hosting and infrastructure providers that run our servers.
  • Authorities or parties where disclosure is required by law or to protect rights and safety.

These providers may process data outside your country. Where we transfer personal data internationally, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.

Your rights and choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or port your personal data, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent. If you are in the EU/EEA or UK (GDPR) or in California (CCPA/CPRA), these protections apply to you.

  • Access and deletion: request a copy of your data or its deletion by emailing hello@iqcognify.com.
  • Local results: because default results live in your browser, you can clear them at any time via your browser's site-data controls.
  • Analytics opt-out: you can decline non-essential cookies and use browser controls or available opt-out tools.
  • Do Not Sell/Share: we do not sell personal information; California residents retain their CCPA rights regardless.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.

Data retention

We keep personal data only as long as needed for the purposes described here. Locally stored results remain on your device until you clear them. Account records are retained for as long as your account is active and as required for legal and support purposes, after which they are deleted or anonymized.

Children's privacy

IQCognify is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us personal data, contact hello@iqcognify.com and we will delete it.

Changes and contact

We may update this policy as our practices or the law evolve. Material changes will be reflected by a revised 'last updated' date at the top of this page. Questions or privacy requests: hello@iqcognify.com.
