Autism Test

Your data

We wrote this policy to explain, without legal padding, how Autism Test treats information about the people who use the autism test on autism-test.net. It covers the tool itself, the guides and every other page on autism-test.net.

Who we are

The website autism-test.net is operated under the name Autism Test and offers a free autism test. For anything related to this policy, you can write to the site's operator at [email protected]. For the purposes of the GDPR and similar laws, that operator is the data controller.

The data involved

Autism Test has no registration, no logins and no paid plans, so there is no account data to collect. The tool does its work locally, on your device, and its inputs and results are not uploaded to autism-test.net. What we and our service providers do receive is technical: request logs, usage statistics and advertising data, explained in the sections that follow.

Local processing

To save you retyping, the autism test keeps some of your entries in your browser's local storage. We have no access to it: it is not included in requests to the server and is not shared with anyone. Removing the site's stored data in your browser settings deletes it for good, and a private window keeps nothing after it is closed.

Cookies, pixels and browser storage

A cookie is a small piece of data that a site, or a service used by the site, stores in your browser, and similar technologies include pixels and local storage. Autism Test does not set cookies of its own for the autism test to work; the cookies you may see come from the analytics and advertising services described below. If you block cookies, the site still works; you may simply see less relevant ads.

Visitor statistics

Use of autism-test.net is measured with Yandex Metrica and Microsoft Clarity. The data they gather includes pages viewed, visit length, referrer, browser and device details and a coarse location derived from your IP address. Both offer session replay and heatmaps, which record clicks, scrolling and mouse movement so we can see where the layout confuses people.

Both services use cookies, and the data they collect is governed by the privacy policies of Yandex and Microsoft. We look at the results in aggregate and do not use them to identify individual visitors.

Advertising partners

We show advertising on autism-test.net to cover the cost of running the site. Third-party advertising networks deliver the ads and may use cookies and device data (for example, IP address and browser identifiers) to show and measure them. Some ads may be tailored to interests inferred from your browsing across different sites, where the law and your settings allow it.

Ad networks receive nothing you type into the tool; what they do collect is governed by their own privacy policies. You can opt out of personalised ads from many networks at optout.aboutads.info and youronlinechoices.eu, and you can block third-party cookies in your browser.

Server logs

Our web server automatically records each request in standard log files. These logs hold the IP address, user agent string, time of access and the address of the page requested. They help us block abuse, fix problems and count traffic.

Our legal bases

For visitors in the EEA and the UK, the legal bases are:

Your privacy rights

Data protection law in many places gives you rights over your data: access, correction, erasure, restriction, portability and the right to object. Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time. As there are no accounts, it helps if you tell us your IP address and roughly when you visited, so we can locate any relevant records.

If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, you can complain to the supervisory authority in your country. To exercise any of these rights, email [email protected].

Where data is processed

Our hosting, analytics and advertising providers may handle data outside the country where you live. Those countries may have data protection laws that differ from the laws where you live.

Keeping data

We keep information only as long as it is needed: server logs are deleted on a rolling basis after a limited period, unless an entry is needed to investigate an attack or abuse. Third-party services keep the data they collect for the periods set out in their own policies. Local storage keeps your entries until you clear the site's data. Emails you send us are kept as long as needed to deal with your message and any follow-up.

Notice for California residents

California residents have rights under the CCPA and the CPRA: to know what personal information is collected, to have it deleted or corrected, and to opt out of its sale or sharing. We do not sell personal information in the ordinary sense, and visitor data is not exchanged for payment.

That said, ad cookies used for personalised ads may be treated as “sharing” under California law. Opting out is possible through the Global Privacy Control setting in supporting browsers, through your browser's cookie settings, or by writing to us. We will not treat you differently for exercising these rights.

Children's privacy

The site is meant for a general audience and is not aimed at children under 13 (under 16 in the EEA and UK). No personal information is knowingly collected from children. If a child has given us personal information, for instance in an email, please let us know so that we can delete it.

Security measures

The site is served over HTTPS, so traffic between your browser and autism-test.net is encrypted. Access to the server and its logs is limited to the people who run the site. No system is perfectly secure; still, your tool inputs stay on your device.

When this page changes

This policy is updated when our practices change. The text on this page is the version in force.

Questions

If you have a question about this policy or want to make a privacy request, email [email protected]. Please describe your request clearly, and we will reply within the time limits set by applicable law.
