Privacy notice
This Privacy Policy explains what information Test BDSM collects when you visit test-bdsm.com, how that information is used, and the choices you have. Everything below applies across the site, from the tool to the help articles.
About us and this policy
test-bdsm.com is the home of Test BDSM, a free bdsm test that works in your web browser. The operator of the site is responsible for your information, and the quickest way to reach them is by email at [email protected]. Where data protection law uses the term “controller”, it refers to this operator.
What we collect — and what we don't
You do not need to sign up to use the bdsm test: there are no accounts, logins or passwords on the site. The tool does its work locally, on your device, and its inputs and results are not uploaded to test-bdsm.com. What we and our service providers do receive is technical: request logs, usage statistics and advertising data, explained in the sections that follow.
About cookies
Like most websites, test-bdsm.com involves cookies and similar technologies, small pieces of data your browser keeps for a site. The tool works without cookies of its own; those that appear are set by the analytics and advertising partners listed below. Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies, and doing so will not stop the bdsm test from working.
Server logs
Each time a page is requested, the web server writes an entry to its logs, as web servers normally do. These logs hold the IP address, user agent string, time of access and the address of the page requested. We rely on them for security, troubleshooting and simple statistics.
Visitor statistics
To learn how visitors use test-bdsm.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. Both offer session replay and heatmaps, which record clicks, scrolling and mouse movement so we can see where the layout confuses people. They set their own cookies, and Yandex and Microsoft handle the data under their own privacy statements. We look at the results in aggregate and do not use them to identify individual visitors.
Advertising partners
We show advertising on test-bdsm.com to cover the cost of running the site. The ads are supplied by third-party ad networks, which may set cookies and use device data, such as your IP address and browser details, to choose ads and measure how they perform. Where permitted, networks may personalise ads using your browsing on other sites as well as this one. Ad networks receive nothing you type into the tool; what they do collect is governed by their own privacy policies. Industry opt-out pages such as optout.aboutads.info and youronlinechoices.eu let you turn off interest-based ads from participating networks.
Legal bases for processing (EEA and UK)
For visitors in the EEA and the UK, the legal bases are:
- Consent, where required, for analytics and advertising cookies, which you may withdraw by blocking or deleting cookies.
- Legitimate interests in keeping the site secure, working and free, balanced against your rights.
- Correspondence: emails you send are used only to respond to you.
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. You may withdraw consent at any time, without affecting processing that took place before. 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].
Data 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. Emails you send us are kept as long as needed to deal with your message and any follow-up. Analytics and advertising providers keep data according to their own retention schedules.
Data transfers abroad
Data collected through test-bdsm.com may be processed by service providers located in other countries. Data protection rules in those countries may not be the same as in yours.
California (CCPA/CPRA)
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 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. To opt out, enable Global Privacy Control in a browser that supports it, block third-party cookies in your browser settings, or email us. You will not be discriminated against for exercising any of them.
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). We do not knowingly collect data 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
The site is served over HTTPS, so traffic between your browser and test-bdsm.com 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.
Updates to this policy
We update this page when our practices change, for example when we add or remove a service. The text on this page is the version in force.
How to reach us
If you have a question about this policy or want to make a privacy request, email [email protected]. Tell us what you need, and we will respond within the period required by law.
