Disclaimer: CognitiveIndex.org assessments and scores are provided for entertainment and personal scoring purposes only, and are not a substitute for clinical, medical, educational, or professional psychological evaluation.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. This includes encryption, secure server infrastructure, and regular security assessments. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track activity on our website and store certain information. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our service.

Advertising

We display advertising on parts of this website. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or to other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet.

Third parties may also place and read cookies on your browser, or use web beacons or IP addresses, to collect information as a result of ad serving on this website.

You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. To opt out of personalised advertising from other third-party vendors, visit www.aboutads.info.

We do not display advertising while you are answering an assessment, because an advertisement beside a timed question would interfere with the measurement. Sign-in pages, in-progress assessments, and account dashboards are ad-free. Score reports do carry advertising, which is what keeps the assessments free to take.

Children's Privacy

Our services are not intended for individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at cognitiveindexorg@gmail.com.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
