Privacy Policy

What Data We Ask You to Provide

We group the information we request into three categories: required, encouraged, and very optional. The required fields are birth year, country, and education level. Other fields cover location, living situation, education, work experience, technology use, personal characteristics, personality, habits, financial background, relationship status, gender, and political leaning.

Only the fields labeled "Required Fields" are necessary to use the demographic features of the site. All other questions may be skipped, although answering them can provide a richer game experience. We do not ask users to provide direct identifiers such as their names.

Information Collected Automatically

Survey Says uses an essential antiforgery cookie to protect form submissions. We do not currently use analytics or advertising cookies.

Why We Collect Data

We collect demographic data to make the site's survey games more enjoyable and to allow survey responses to be compared across diverse groups. We do not collect this data for the purpose of selling it.

How We Use Data in the Current Version

The current version displays the demographic information saved to your signed-in account. Each account has at most one demographic record, and saving the form creates or updates only that account's record.

How We Store, Share, and Protect Data

Demographic responses are stored in the application's PostgreSQL database and linked to the account's Identity ID. The demographics pages require authentication, and the server derives ownership from the login rather than trusting a user ID submitted by the browser.

How We May Use Data in the Future

We intend to use demographic data to compare the preferences and circumstances of groups rather than to create public profiles of individuals.

Your Choices and Privacy Rights

You can choose not to answer any field that is not marked as required. There are no penalties for choosing not to answer any of the non-required sections and all of the site's capabilities and features will still be available to you.

Children's Privacy

The site does not currently enforce a minimum age. Children should ask a parent or guardian before using the site.
