Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

IQGAME is designed with a privacy-first philosophy. We collect only the minimum data necessary to provide our cognitive assessment services. Here is what we collect:

• Test Answers & Responses: When you complete a cognitive test, we collect your answer selections, response times, and completion status. This data is essential for calculating your scores and generating percentile rankings.
• Session Data: We collect basic session information including the date and time of your visit, which tests you accessed, and general usage patterns. This helps us improve the platform experience.
• Device & Browser Information: We automatically collect technical information about your device and browser, such as browser type, operating system, screen resolution, and language preferences. This data is used for compatibility and performance optimization.
• Aggregate Statistics: We compile anonymous, aggregated data about test performance across all users. This statistical data is used to calibrate scoring algorithms and cannot be used to identify individual users.

What We Do NOT Collect:

• Personal identification information (name, email, phone number, address)
• Social security numbers or government-issued ID numbers
• Financial or payment information
• Health or medical records
• Geolocation data

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect solely for the following purposes:

• Providing Test Results: To calculate your cognitive test scores, generate percentile rankings, and present your performance insights within the platform.
• Platform Improvement: To analyze usage patterns, identify performance issues, and improve the quality and accuracy of our cognitive tests and scoring algorithms.
• Algorithm Calibration: To refine and validate the T-Dimension scoring algorithm using aggregated, anonymized performance data, ensuring accurate percentile-based scoring for all users.
• Platform Security: To detect and prevent fraudulent activity, abuse, or unauthorized access to our services.

We do NOT:

• Sell, rent, or trade any user data to third parties
• Use your data for targeted advertising
• Share individual test results with any third party without explicit consent
• Use your data for any purpose unrelated to the platform's core functionality

3. Cookies & Local Storage

IQGAME uses browser storage technologies to enhance your experience:

• Local Storage: We use your browser's local storage to save your test progress, results, and preferences locally on your device. This data remains on your device and is not transmitted to our servers unless you explicitly choose to share it.
• Session Storage: Temporary session data is stored during an active test to maintain your progress and restore your session if needed.
• Essential Cookies: We may use essential cookies to maintain basic platform functionality, such as remembering your theme preference (light/dark mode) and navigation state.

You can manage or clear your browser's local storage and cookies at any time through your browser settings. Please note that clearing local storage may result in the loss of saved test results and progress.

4. Third-Party Services

IQGAME may use the following third-party services:

• Google Fonts: We use Google Fonts to deliver web fonts for improved typography. Google may collect your IP address when fonts are loaded. Please refer to Google's Privacy Policy for more information.
• Analytics Services: We may use privacy-respecting analytics services to understand platform usage patterns. These services are configured to anonymize IP addresses and do not track users across other websites.

We carefully vet all third-party services to ensure they meet our privacy standards. We do not integrate with any third-party service that sells user data or uses it for invasive advertising.

5. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the information associated with our platform:

• Local-First Architecture: Most user data (test results, progress) is stored locally on your device using browser storage, reducing the risk of server-side data breaches.
• HTTPS Encryption: All data transmitted between your browser and our servers is encrypted using TLS/SSL protocols.
• No Centralized User Accounts: We do not require account creation or store personal data on our servers, significantly reducing the attack surface for data breaches.
• Regular Security Reviews: We periodically review our security practices and update them to address emerging threats.

While we strive to protect your information, no method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your data.

6. Children's Privacy

IQGAME offers cognitive tests designed for children as young as age 3. We take children's privacy very seriously and comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and other applicable child privacy laws:

• Parental Consent: For children under 13 years of age, we require parental or guardian consent before the child uses our platform. Parents or guardians must review this Privacy Policy and agree to its terms before allowing a child to access IQGAME.
• Minimal Data Collection for Children: We collect even less data from children's test sessions. No personal information is collected from children at any time. Only test responses and anonymous session data are processed.
• No Behavioral Advertising: We do not serve behavioral or targeted advertising to children or any users.
• No External Sharing: Children's test data is never shared with, sold to, or made accessible to any third party.
• Parental Rights: Parents or guardians may review, access, or request deletion of any data associated with their child's use of the platform by contacting us at the address provided below.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights regarding your data:

• Right to Access: You may request information about the data we hold about you.
