This Privacy & Cookie Policy explains what information ReflexStats ("we", "us", the "Site") collects when you use our free brain and reflex tests, how that information is used, and the choices you have. By using the Site you agree to this policy.
1. Information we collect
ReflexStats does not require an account and does not ask you for personal information such as your name or email to play the tests. The tests run entirely in your browser.
- Test scores: Your best scores are stored locally on your device using your browser's
localStorage. This data never leaves your device, is not transmitted to us, and can be cleared at any time by clearing your browser storage. - Server logs: Like most websites, our hosting provider may automatically record standard technical information (IP address, browser type, pages requested, timestamps) for security and analytics. This is not used to personally identify you.
- Contact messages: If you email us via the address on our Contact page, we receive whatever information you choose to include.
2. Cookies and local storage
We use a small amount of browser storage for two purposes:
- Functional storage: remembering your best scores and whether you have dismissed the cookie notice. These are essential to how the Site works.
- Advertising and analytics cookies: set by third parties (see below) to deliver and measure ads.
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking advertising cookies will not stop the tests from working.
3. Third-party advertising (Google AdSense)
ReflexStats is supported by advertising. We use Google AdSense and may use other third-party advertising vendors to display ads on the Site.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our Site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of third-party vendor cookies at aboutads.info/choices.
- For more on how Google uses data, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
4. HTML5 game / in-content ads
Because ReflexStats hosts interactive HTML5 games, ad units may appear above, alongside, or between game content. These ad placements are served by the third-party networks described above and follow the same cookie and opt-out rules. We do not serve ads inside the active play area in a way that interferes with a test in progress.
5. Children's privacy
The Site is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will remove it.
6. Your choices and rights
Depending on your location (e.g. the EU/EEA under GDPR or California under CCPA), you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data, and to opt out of personalized advertising. You can exercise advertising choices using the links in Section 3, manage cookies in your browser, and clear local scores by clearing browser storage. To make any other request, contact us.
7. Data security and retention
Score data stays on your device. We retain server logs only as long as needed for security and operations. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable measures to protect the limited data we handle.
8. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above.
