FreeIQCheck ("we," "us," or "our") operates https://www.freeiqcheck.com, a free online IQ-style reasoning quiz and educational website. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information when you visit our site.

By using FreeIQCheck, you agree to the practices described here. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the website.

Information we collect

Information you provide

We do not require an account to take our quiz. If you contact us by email, we receive the information you choose to send (such as your email address and message content) solely to respond to your inquiry.

Quiz and browser data

The IQ quiz runs primarily in your browser. Answer selections may be stored temporarily in session storage on your device to display results on the results page. Theme preference (light/dark mode) may be stored in local storage. You can clear this data anytime through your browser settings.

Automatically collected information

Like most websites, we and our service providers may automatically collect certain technical information, including:

• IP address (often truncated or anonymized where supported)
• Browser type, device type, and operating system
• Pages viewed, referring URLs, and approximate geographic region
• Date, time, and duration of visits

Our hosting provider (e.g., Cloudflare Pages) may process server logs for security, performance, and reliability.

How we use information

We use collected information to:

• Operate, maintain, and improve the website and quiz experience
• Understand aggregate traffic and usage patterns through analytics
• Display advertisements (where enabled) and measure ad performance
• Detect, prevent, and address technical issues or abuse
• Respond to contact requests and legal obligations

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We and our partners use cookies and similar technologies for essential site functions, analytics, and advertising.

Google Analytics uses cookies and may collect information such as how often users visit pages, what pages were viewed, and what other sites were used prior to visiting. We use this data to improve content and user experience.

Google AdSense and advertising partners

We may display advertisements served by Google AdSense and other third-party ad vendors. These partners may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites, and to measure ad effectiveness.

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to our website or other websites.
• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.

Data retention

Server logs and analytics data are retained only as long as necessary for the purposes described above, typically in aggregated or anonymized form. Email correspondence is retained as needed to resolve inquiries. Local quiz data remains on your device until you clear browser storage.

Children's privacy

FreeIQCheck is intended for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or the applicable age in your jurisdiction) without parental consent. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
