Your privacy stays yours.

QuestVault is built on a simple rule: we collect as little as possible, and we never ask for the sensitive personal data that other quizzes quietly harvest. This page explains exactly what does — and does not — happen when you take a test here.

1. What we do not collect

We want to be unambiguous about this. QuestVault does not collect, store, or transmit any of the following sensitive personal data — not now, and not in any future update we have planned:

• Real names — we never ask you to enter your full name, given name, or any alias tied to your identity.
• Government ID numbers — this includes national ID numbers, identity card numbers, passport numbers, driver's license numbers, and similar identifiers. No test on this site will ever request them.
• Contact details — no email address, no phone number, no physical address. There is no sign-up form, no login, and no "email me my result" prompt.
• Financial information — no card numbers, no bank details, no payment tokens. The site has nothing for sale and no checkout.
• Sensitive health or psychological data — our tests are framed for entertainment and self-reflection, not as clinical instruments, and we do not store individual responses in a way that could be assembled into a health profile.
• Precise location — we do not request GPS, IP-based geolocation, or any location tied to a real-world address.

2. What stays on your device

When you take a test, your answers are processed locally in your browser by JavaScript. The tally that decides your result is computed in memory and discarded the moment you leave the page. The only thing we write to your device is a small entry in your browser's localStorage, used to remember:

• A running count of how many people have taken a given test (a single integer per test, incremented once per completion — it does not identify you).
• Nothing else. Your individual answers, your result, and the order of questions you saw are never saved to localStorage and never sent anywhere.

You can clear this data at any time using your browser's "clear site data" or "clear local storage" controls. Doing so will not affect your ability to use the site.

3. Cookies & tracking

QuestVault does not set advertising cookies, does not use third-party advertising SDKs, and does not participate in cross-site tracking. We do not embed ad networks, so there are no ad cookies placed on your device while you read a result. The fonts used for headings and body text are loaded from a public font CDN; that request may carry your IP address as part of normal browser behavior, but we do not receive or log it.

Google Analytics 4 (GA4): QuestVault uses Google Analytics 4 to measure aggregate, anonymized traffic — for example, which quizzes are most popular and roughly where visitors come from. GA4 is loaded with Google Consent Mode v2: by default, analytics_storage is set to denied. No analytics cookies are placed on your device and no measurement data is collected until you explicitly click "Accept" on the consent banner at the bottom of the page. If you click "Decline," the site works identically — only without aggregate traffic counting. IP addresses sent to Google as part of normal browser requests are anonymized (anonymize_ip: true) and Google Signals is disabled, so GA4 cannot build cross-device profiles. We never tie your test answers or results to an analytics session.

Future advertising (AdSense readiness): QuestVault is currently ad-free and sets no advertising cookies. If we ever serve ads in the future (for example through Google AdSense), we will update this section before doing so — naming the ad network, explaining which cookies it sets, and providing a way for visitors in the EU/UK/EEA to decline non-essential advertising cookies via the consent banner at the bottom of the page. We will never place ads over quiz answer options, inside clickable answer cards, or within reach of the progress bar; see our Content Safety commitment on the homepage.

4. Analytics

QuestVault uses Google Analytics 4 (GA4) with the following privacy safeguards:

• Consent-gated: GA4 cookies are denied by default via Google Consent Mode v2. No analytics data is collected until you click "Accept" on the consent banner. Declining does not affect site functionality.
• IP anonymization: The last octet of your IPv4 address (and the last 80 bits of IPv6) is truncated before any data reaches Google's servers.
• No Google Signals: Cross-device tracking and remarketing features are explicitly disabled (allow_google_signals: false).
• No ad personalization: We do not send data to Google for ad personalization (allow_ad_personalization_signals: false).
• Aggregate only: We look at aggregate trends (e.g., "the Fire element quiz had 3,000 completions this week") — never at individual sessions tied to test answers.
• Data retention: GA4's data retention is set to 2 months for user-level and event-level data.

You can withdraw consent at any time by clearing qv-consent from your browser's local storage — the consent banner will reappear on your next visit, and you can choose "Decline."

5. Children's privacy

The tests on QuestVault are written for a general audience and are not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from anyone, regardless of age. Because no personal data is collected in the first place, there is no children's data to protect or delete — but we state this plainly so there is no ambiguity.

6. Third-party links

Some test results may mention books, concepts, or public resources for further reading. These are editorial references, not affiliate links, and we do not earn a commission if you look them up. External sites have their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to read.

7. Changes to this policy

If we ever need to update this policy, we will change the "Last updated" date above and keep the previous version available on request. We will never quietly weaken these commitments — any future change that expands what we collect will be announced clearly, and the default will always favor your privacy.
