Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information you provide directly

We may collect information that you choose to share with us, for example:

• Email address when you subscribe to our newsletter
• Name or nickname if you choose to enter it in a contact form or email
• Messages you send when contacting us with questions or feedback

We do not ask for sensitive information such as government IDs, payment details, or health records.

1.2 Information collected automatically

Like most websites, we may automatically collect some basic technical information, such as:

• Your IP address and approximate location
• Device type, browser type, and operating system
• Pages you visit, time spent on pages, and referring URLs

This information is usually collected through cookies or analytics tools and is used to understand how the site is used so we can improve it.

1.3 Quiz usage

If you use the sapiosexual quiz:

• Your answers may be processed to calculate a score and show you a result.
• In an ideal setup, your responses are processed only to generate the result and not stored in a way that identifies you personally.
• We do not use quiz results to label or diagnose you.

Implementation details (such as whether quiz data is stored or anonymized) may depend on the specific technical setup. Our goal is always to store as little personal data as reasonably necessary.

2. How We Use Your Information

We may use the information we collect for purposes such as:

• Providing, operating, and improving the website
• Sending email updates or newsletters if you have opted in
• Responding to your questions, feedback, or support requests
• Monitoring site performance and preventing abuse (e.g., spam or attacks)
• Complying with legal obligations, where applicable

We do not sell your personal data to third parties.

3. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We may use cookies and similar technologies to:

• Remember your preferences (for example, language)
• Understand how visitors use the site (basic analytics)
• Improve the design, content, and performance of the site

You can usually control or delete cookies through your browser settings. If you disable cookies, some parts of the site may not function as intended.

4. Email Subscriptions

If you subscribe to our email list:

• We will store your email address (and possibly your name, if you provide it).
• We will send you occasional messages about intellectual attraction, deep conversations, and site updates.
• Every email should include an unsubscribe link, allowing you to opt out at any time.

We may use a third-party email service provider to manage our mailing list and send emails securely.

5. Third-Party Services

To operate the site, we may use third-party services such as:

• Website hosting providers
• Email newsletter tools
• Analytics tools (for example, privacy-focused analytics platforms)

These providers may process limited data on our behalf in order to deliver their services.
We aim to choose providers that respect user privacy and comply with relevant data protection laws.

6. Data Retention

We keep your personal data only for as long as it is reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law.

Examples:

• Email addresses are kept as long as you remain subscribed.
• Basic analytics data may be kept for a limited time to analyze long-term trends.
• Contact form messages or emails may be kept as long as needed to respond and maintain records of important communications.

When data is no longer needed, we will remove it or anonymize it where reasonably possible.

7. Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, or loss. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

You should also protect yourself by:

• Using secure devices and networks
• Being cautious about sharing personal information online

If we become aware of a significant data incident, we will take appropriate steps to investigate and, where required, notify affected users and/or authorities.

8. Children's Privacy

Sapiosexual is not intended for children under the age of 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided personal information on this site, please contact us so we can investigate and take appropriate action.

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data, such as:

• The right to access the personal data we hold about you
• The right to request correction or deletion of your data
• The right to object to certain types of processing

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in:

• How the site works
