Privacy Policy

Whisker Type is a cat personality quiz website. This policy explains what information the site collects when you take the quiz, browse cat profiles, or visit other pages, and the choices available to you. By using Whisker Type, you agree to the practices described here.

No account required

You do not need to create an account or sign in to use Whisker Type. There is no login, no user profile, and no password to manage.

Information the quiz does not ask for

Taking the quiz does not require you to provide your name, email address, or any other direct personal information. Your quiz answers are used only to calculate a personalized result (a cat personality type) and are encoded directly into the result page's URL — they are not collected into a database or tied to your identity.

Information we may collect

Like most websites, Whisker Type may collect standard technical and usage information, whether through server logs, our own analytics, or an analytics provider we enable in the future. Where in use, this can include:

• Pages and quiz questions viewed, and which answers or buttons are interacted with
• Device and browser information, such as browser type, operating system, and screen size
• Approximate location derived from your IP address (for example, city or region level), where applicable
• Referral information, such as the site or link that directed you to Whisker Type

This information is used in aggregate to understand how the quiz is used and to improve the site. It is not used to directly identify individual visitors.

Cookies and similar technologies

Whisker Type's own code uses your browser's local storage technologies (such as session storage) for limited, functional purposes — for example, to generate a temporary, anonymous session identifier used only to understand site usage patterns, such as how many pages are viewed in one visit. This identifier is not linked to your name or other personal information, and is automatically cleared when you close your browser tab.

If and when we enable a third-party analytics or advertising provider (see below), that provider may separately set its own cookies or use similar technologies in your browser, subject to its own privacy practices. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings; doing so may affect how parts of the site behave.

Advertising

Whisker Type is built to support Google AdSense and similar display advertising in the future, but this is not currently enabled on the live site. If and when advertising is turned on, Google and other advertising partners we work with may use cookies or similar technologies to serve ads, measure their performance, and personalize the ads shown to you, where legally permitted to do so. Any such partner's use of this information is governed by its own privacy policy, not this one.

Your advertising and privacy choices

Depending on your location, you may have choices about interest-based advertising, including opting out of personalized ads from participating providers. You can learn more and manage certain choices through:

• Google's Ads Settings and How Google uses information from sites that use its services
• The Digital Advertising Alliance's opt-out tool at optout.aboutads.info
• The Network Advertising Initiative's opt-out tool at optout.networkadvertising.org

Third-party services

Whisker Type may link to, embed, or rely on third-party services (for example, analytics or advertising providers, or social platforms you use to share a result). These third parties operate under their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of services we do not control.

Data retention and security

We retain the limited technical and usage information described above only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes outlined in this policy. We take reasonable measures intended to protect information handled by the site, but no method of storage or transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children's privacy

Whisker Type is a general-audience entertainment website and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us using the details below so we can address it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time, for example as the site adds new features like analytics or advertising. Changes will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Your continued use of Whisker Type after a change is posted means you accept the updated policy.
