Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 16, 2026

Introduction

At IQ Checker ("we," "us," or "our"), accessible at iqchecker.us, your privacy is our top priority. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect (and more importantly, what we don't collect), how our tools work, and your rights regarding your data.

By using our website, you agree to the terms outlined in this Privacy Policy.

Information We Collect

Information We Do NOT Collect

We want to be very clear about what we do not collect:

  • Usernames: The social media usernames you enter into our IQ checking tools are never sent to our servers, logged, or stored in any database. All analysis happens entirely in your web browser using client-side JavaScript.
  • Personal information: We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or any other personally identifiable information through our IQ checking tools.
  • Social media account data: We never connect to Twitter/X, Instagram, LinkedIn, Reddit, TikTok, or any other social media platform's API. We never access your tweets, followers, posts, or any account data.
  • Payment information: Our tools are 100% free. We never collect credit card numbers, bank details, or any financial information.
  • Location data: We do not track or collect your geographic location.

Information That May Be Collected

  • Local Storage: Our tools may store your recent IQ check results in your browser's local storage so you can see them when you return. This data never leaves your device and can be cleared at any time through your browser settings.
  • Contact Form Data: If you voluntarily submit information through our Contact page (name, email, message), that information is used solely to respond to your inquiry and is not shared with third parties.
  • Web Server Logs: Our web hosting provider may automatically collect standard server logs including IP addresses, browser types, and access times. This is standard practice for all websites and is used solely for security monitoring and performance optimization.

How Our Tools Work

All IQ analysis on our website happens entirely in your web browser using client-side JavaScript. Here is the technical process:

  1. You type a username into our tool
  2. Our JavaScript code (running in your browser, not on our server) processes the username text
  3. The algorithm calculates a score based on character patterns
  4. The result is displayed in your browser
  5. Optionally, the result is saved in your browser's local storage

At no point in this process is your username or any data sent to our servers.

Cookies

We do not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or any third-party cookies. Our website may use essential cookies required for basic website functionality (such as remembering your theme preference), but these do not track your activity or collect personal information.

Third-Party Services

Our website may use the following third-party services:

  • Google Fonts: We use Google Fonts for typography. Google may collect anonymous usage data as described in their privacy policy.
  • Hosting Provider: Our website is hosted by a third-party hosting service that may collect standard server logs for security and performance purposes.

We do not use third-party advertising, analytics tracking (such as Google Analytics), social media tracking pixels, or retargeting services.

Data Security

Since we do not collect or store personal data through our IQ tools, there is no personal data at risk. For any data that is collected (contact form submissions, server logs), we implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction.

Children's Privacy

Our tools are designed for entertainment and educational purposes for users of all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information through our contact form, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.

Your Rights

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

  • Right to access: You can request information about any data we hold about you
  • Right to deletion: You can request deletion of any data we hold
  • Right to correction: You can request correction of any inaccurate data
  • Right to portability: You can request your data in a portable format
  • Right to object: You can object to certain types of processing

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us.

GDPR Compliance (EU Users)

For users in the European Union, we comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Since we do not collect personal data through our IQ tools, GDPR data subject rights are primarily relevant to contact form submissions. We process contact form data under the legal basis of legitimate interest (responding to your inquiry).

CCPA Compliance (California Users)

For California residents, we comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). We do not sell personal information. We do not collect personal information beyond what is described in this policy.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
