What we collect
When you begin, we store your questionnaire answers and limited technical information needed to preserve progress and protect the service, such as a session identifier, IP address, browser information, and referring page.
If you choose to save your result, we also collect your first name, email address, country, declaration, and consent. You may optionally provide a last name, state, city, religion, gender, public-figure status, and permission to display your last name.
How we use it
We use the information to score and save your assessment, show your profile, operate referrals and aggregate statistics, communicate about your account, improve BigQ, prevent misuse, and meet legal obligations. We do not sell your personal information.
Your answers may reveal religious or philosophical beliefs. They are linked to your identity only after you give separate, explicit consent on the results page.
How long we keep it
Completed account and assessment records may be retained while your account is active and for up to 7 years after inactivity, unless a longer period is required for security or legal reasons. Incomplete assessments are removed after approximately 30 days.
Technical identifiers are generally retained for up to 90 days. Deleted data may remain in protected backups for up to 90 days before aging out.
Your choices
You can stop before submitting identity details and still view your immediate result. You may request access, correction, export, or deletion of personal information associated with your email address. You can also choose whether your last name appears publicly and may change your declaration later.
Some anonymized or aggregated statistics may remain after deletion when they can no longer reasonably identify you.
Security and contact
We use access controls, encrypted connections, signed links, rate limits, and restricted administrative access. No system can guarantee absolute security, but we limit collection and protect the information entrusted to us.
