the boring page, kept honest

Privacy Policy

Last updated 15 September 2026

The short version

Your quiz answers stay in your browser. The site runs no analytics, no advertising, and no tracking of any kind. The only personal data Kwokka holds is what you hand over on purpose: an email address if you buy the full profile, create an account, or join the quiz notify list. Card details go to Stripe and never touch this site.

Who we are

Kwokka (kwokka.net) is run by Adam Kesterson in the United Kingdom. For anything in this policy, email adamkesterson@kwokka.net and a human answers.

The quiz itself

Your answers, and the result they produce, are processed in your own browser and kept there. They are not sent to our server, not stored in any database of ours, and not linked to you. Close the browser and clear your data, and they are gone from everywhere, because they only ever existed with you.

Cookies and local storage

Kwokka runs without a cookie banner because there is nothing to consent to: no advertising cookies and no third-party analytics cookies at all. What remains is the strictly necessary minimum:

Analytics and tracking

As of August 2026 Kwokka uses no third-party analytics or tracking of any kind. Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, the Meta (Facebook) pixel and Hotjar have all been removed. We do not record your session, we do not build a profile of you, and no advertising network learns you were here. If that ever changes, this policy will change first and a consent banner will return before any such tool loads.

Payments

The full profile unlock is a one-off purchase processed by Stripe, our payment provider. Your card details go directly to Stripe and never touch kwokka.net: we cannot see or store them. Stripe shares with us the email address you paid with and confirmation that the payment succeeded, which we use to unlock your access. Stripe’s own handling of your data is described at stripe.com/privacy.

If you pay without being signed in, an account is created for you automatically from that email address so your unlock has somewhere permanent to live, and a sign-in link is emailed to you. We keep payment confirmations for as long as accounting and refunds require.

Accounts

An account holds your email address, a password you set (or a sign-in link if you never set one), and whether the full profile is unlocked. Nothing else. Ask and it is deleted, along with everything attached to it.

The quiz notify list

If you leave your email on the Quizzes coming-soon page, that address is stored on kwokka.net itself, nowhere else, and used for exactly one thing: a single email when a new quiz launches. It is never shared, sold, or added to any other list. Reply to that email, or write to us, and it is deleted.

Events near you

One optional feature on results pages can look up philosophy events near you. It only runs if you press its button and your browser asks you for location permission. Your coordinates are used once, to fetch listings, and are not stored.

Emails we send

Only ones you cause: a Stripe payment receipt, a sign-in or set-password link for your account, and the single quiz-launch email if you joined the notify list. No newsletters you did not ask for, no marketing sequences.

Hosting and server logs

Kwokka is hosted in the EU by Hostinger. Like every web server, ours keeps short-lived technical logs (IP address, page requested, time) used only to keep the site running and secure, and rotated automatically.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law you can ask what we hold about you, have it corrected, have it deleted, or object to how it is used. Since what we hold is at most an email address and an unlock flag, this is usually a one-email job: adamkesterson@kwokka.net. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.

Children

The quizzes written for children and teenagers are designed to need nothing: no account, no email, no data stored, no sharing prompts, no outside links. Accounts and purchases are intended for adults. See our Safeguarding page for the full commitments.

Changes

If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it, and any change that matters will be flagged on the site rather than buried.
