Privacy

The short version: there are no accounts and no cookies, and we never ask for your name or email address. The only thing we store is an anonymous copy of your test answers, and only if you leave the box ticked.

The test

The 10 questions are scored in your browser. Your answers are written into the short code at the end of your result link, so anyone you share that link with can see your score and the answer you chose to each question.

At the end, a box reads “Add my answers anonymously to the yearly report”. It starts ticked. If you leave it ticked, we store one record: the answer you chose to each question, your age group if you picked one, the date, and your country as estimated by our host from your connection. The record has no name, email address, IP address, cookie or device identifier. We use these records only to publish totals, such as the share of people aged 18 to 24 who know how to put out a pan fire. Untick the box and nothing is stored.

A record holds nothing that identifies you. If you want yours removed, email us your result link and the date you took the test, and we will delete the matching record. If you use “Take it again” on your result page, the box starts unticked, so a retake is not counted twice unless you choose.

The test is written for ages 13 and up. It asks for no contact details, so classes can take it without signing anyone up.

Cookies

The site sets no cookies and does not store anything in your browser.

Analytics

We use Vercel Web Analytics to count page views and a few anonymous actions: starting and finishing the test, sharing a result and printing a page. It does not use cookies and does not track you across sites. Result pages are counted without their result code, so your answers never reach analytics.

Hosting and abuse protection

The site is hosted by Vercel. Their servers process each request, including your IP address, to deliver pages and to block automated abuse. We do not receive or keep IP addresses.
