What happens to your answers

This is a small, independent project — a mirror to help you notice patterns, not a clinic and not a data business. Here, in plain language, is everything that's kept when you take the quiz, where it lives, and how to have it removed.

What's kept

When you finish the quiz, this is saved:

Why it's kept

The answers help the author see which items land and which are confusing, so the test gets better over time. An email, if you leave one, is used for a single purpose: an occasional note when something new goes live. Nothing else — and you can unsubscribe whenever you like.

Where it lives

Your data is stored in Supabase, a third-party database service, on servers hosted in the United States. Access is limited to the author through a private, server-side key — there is no public access to the database, and the raw responses are never shown on the site.

Your email and your answers can be linked

Being straight with you: if you leave your email, it is stored alongside a reference to that quiz run, so the two can be linked together. If you'd rather your answers stay unattached to you, simply skip the email step — the quiz and your report still work in full.

What never happens

Delete your data

You can have your responses and email removed at any time — no reason needed. Email the address below and mention the email you signed up with (or, if you kept it, your submission id), and your answers and email will be deleted.

privacy@thawing.org

Wherever you live — the EU and California included — you're welcome to ask what's tied to you and to have it deleted. The same address handles those requests.
