Your answers never leave your browser

Why it is built this way

Under GDPR Article 9, data revealing religious belief is special-category data and processing it is prohibited except under narrow conditions. Explicit consent is the usual route. The stronger move is not to qualify for the exception but to never process the data at all.

What actually happens

• The matrix (65 traditions × 17 axes), the 85-question bank and the whole scoring engine are part of the page you downloaded. They run on your device.
• Your answer vector lives in memory and in this browser’s local storage. It is never sent to our servers, never written to a database, and never appears in a log.
• There is no account, because an account is a place to put the thing we are trying not to have.
• Your result page is not a shareable link. There is no URL that would show anyone what you answered — the result card you can save is drawn in your browser.

The paid report

Checkout carries a random nonce and nothing else. Our server asks the payment provider one question — was this nonce paid for? — and returns a token your browser keeps. The report is then assembled locally from your answers. We learn that a sale happened and nothing whatsoever about what it said.

Analytics

Page views and completion counts only. No answer, option, axis or result is ever passed to an analytics call — one such call would ship religious belief to a third-party processor, which is why the codebase enforces the rule with a test rather than with good intentions.

What you can delete

Everything, by clearing this site’s data in your browser, or by choosing “start again” in the questionnaire. There is nothing on our side to request, because there is nothing on our side.
