Childhood Trauma Test

Privacy notice

This Privacy Policy explains what information Childhood Trauma Test collects when you visit trauma-test.com, how that information is used, and the choices you have. Everything below applies across the site, from the tool to the help articles.

The short version

About us and this policy

Childhood Trauma Test is a free online childhood trauma test published at trauma-test.com. The site's operator is responsible for the processing described here and can be reached at [email protected]. Under European data protection law, the operator is the controller of the limited data described below.

The data involved

Childhood Trauma Test has no registration, no logins and no paid plans, so there is no account data to collect. The tool's code runs in your browser, so the values you type into the childhood trauma test stay on your device. 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

Some of what you enter, such as recent values or saved items, is kept in local storage, a small storage area inside your browser. Local storage is not transmitted with page requests, so the saved data never reaches our server. Clearing cookies and site data for trauma-test.com removes it completely.

About cookies

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. Childhood Trauma Test does not set cookies of its own for the childhood trauma test to work; the cookies you may see come from the analytics and advertising services described below. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; the childhood trauma test will keep working, although ads may become less relevant.

Web server logs

Each time a page is requested, the web server writes an entry to its logs, as web servers normally do. Each log line records the IP address, browser user agent, time and requested page. We rely on them for security, troubleshooting and simple statistics.

Visitor statistics

To learn how visitors use trauma-test.com, we rely on two analytics services: Yandex Metrica and Microsoft Clarity. Typical data points are the pages you open, the time spent on them, where you came from, your browser and device, and a rough location. Their session replays and heatmaps show how people click, scroll and move through a page, which helps us fix usability problems. 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

Childhood Trauma Test is free because it shows ads. The networks that deliver ads may place cookies or use device information so that they can select ads, limit repeats and report on how ads perform. Depending on your settings and location, the ads you see may be personalised based on your activity on other websites. Ad networks receive nothing you type into the tool; what they do collect is governed by their own privacy policies. To limit ad personalisation, block third-party cookies in your browser or use the opt-out tools at optout.aboutads.info and youronlinechoices.eu.

Why we may process data (EEA and UK visitors)

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we rely on the following legal bases:

Retention

Data is kept no longer than necessary, and server logs are removed after a limited period unless an entry is needed to deal with a security incident. 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. Yandex, Microsoft and the ad networks apply their own retention periods.

Processing outside your country

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.

Your choices and rights

Data protection law in many places gives you rights over your data: access, correction, erasure, restriction, portability and the right to object. You may withdraw consent at any time, without affecting processing that took place before. Since the site has no user accounts, we can usually find data about you only if you give us details like your IP address and the time of your visit.

You may also complain to a data protection supervisory authority, for example in the country where you live. To exercise any of these rights, email [email protected].

Notice for California residents

Under California law (the CCPA as amended by the CPRA), you may request to know and to delete or correct personal information about you, and you may opt out of its sale or sharing. We do not sell personal information in the everyday meaning of the word; no list of visitors is ever traded. 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. Using these rights will not change how the site works for you.

Children's data

trauma-test.com is not directed to children under 13, or under 16 where European rules apply. No personal information is knowingly collected from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, for example by email, contact us and we will delete it.

Security measures

All pages on trauma-test.com are delivered over an encrypted HTTPS connection. Server access is restricted to the site's operator. No system is perfectly secure; still, your tool inputs stay on your device.

When this page changes

We update this page when our practices change, such as when a new service is added. The version published here is always the current one.

Questions

You can reach us about anything in this policy at [email protected]. Please describe your request clearly, and we will reply within the time limits set by applicable law.
