Children and privacy
Updated
You can take any quiz here without an account, a name or an email address. Each result is stored against an anonymous id, your quiz answers are never sent to advertisers, and every result can be deleted from its own page in one click. That makes the site private by default for everyone, including younger visitors and families sharing a device.
Many of our quizzes are perfect for doing together: the reindeer quiz at Christmas, the classic monster quiz on a rainy afternoon, or the parent quizzes that ask how alike you and your mum or dad really are. Here is how privacy works when you do.
What we store, and what we do not
When someone finishes a quiz, we store their answers and the result built from them, under a random id. There is no name attached, no profile picture and no login.
- No account needed. Results open straight away. Nobody has to sign up to see what they got.
- No answers in advertising. Quiz answers are never put into advertising or measurement events.
- Measurement only with permission. Measurement scripts load only if you accept them on the consent banner. If you choose reject, they stay off.
- Purchases are for adults. Any paid report is for adults, and the pricing page says so.
Families sharing a device
If several people use the same phone, tablet or laptop, a few simple habits help.
- Check the profile page. It lists every result taken in that browser. It is the quickest way to see what is there.
- Delete what you do not want to keep. Open the result and choose Delete this result. The answers and score are removed straight away, and any link to it stops working.
- Take quizzes together. For younger children, sitting with them is the best privacy setting there is. You can talk about the questions and enjoy the result together.
- Share the card, not the link. The share card shows only a result name, a creature and one public line. It never shows answers.
Talking to children about sharing
The share card is designed to be safe to post. Even so, it is a good moment to teach a useful habit: share the fun bit, keep the personal bit. A child can happily tell the class they are a Night Owl or a certain reindeer. The answers that got them there are theirs to keep.
If your child compares results with a friend or sibling, the same rules apply. Each person sees the other's result once both have finished, and nobody sees anyone else's answers.
If you ever want a result gone, you do not need to contact anyone or prove who you are. Open the result, delete it, and it is gone.
