Privacy & Safety

Your answers stay yours.

16Kinks asks personal questions, so privacy needs to be easy to understand. Here's what we keep, what we never collect, and what you can remove yourself.

Three things we hold to

Anonymous by default

Take the whole test and read your result with no account, no name, no password. Nothing about you is required to get an answer.

Site stats stay separate

If you allow analytics cookies, they help us understand overall traffic. Your specific answers and result are not part of those stats.

We don't sell your data

No ad networks, no tracking pixels, no third-party social login. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data.

What we keep

  • Your email — only if you sign in, to send your one-time login link and find your saved results.
  • Results you choose to save, with your answers and the computed summary.
  • A purchase record if you unlock the report — amount, currency, date, and a Stripe reference. Never your card number.
  • For any share link you create, we don't store the link itself — only a string generated from it that can't be turned back into the original.
  • Basic technical information, such as your IP address, kept briefly to prevent spam and abuse.

What we never collect

  • Your real name
  • Photos or video
  • Your location
  • Your card number
  • Your contacts or social accounts
  • A cross-site advertising profile

How it's protected

Encrypted in transit

Everything runs over HTTPS. Your answers travel encrypted between your device and our server.

Calculated on our server

We calculate results on the server so the report is consistent. Paid sections are shown only after unlock.

Share links you can take back

For share links, we store only a string generated from the link, never the link itself. Every link expires, and you can revoke it at any time.

No password to steal

Sign-in is a one-time link emailed to you. There's no password on file to be leaked, guessed, or reused.

Payments handled by Stripe

Checkout happens on Stripe's secure page. We never receive or store your card details.

Website stats are optional

They run only after you accept cookies. They help us see overall traffic, not your specific answers or result.

You're in control

Export your data

Download a full copy of your data — profile, saved results, purchases — from your account, any time.

Delete your account

Delete your account from your settings and everything tied to it goes with it — results, share links, access. No email, no waiting.

Revoke any share link

Change your mind about a link you sent? Revoke it and it stops working immediately.

Or never sign up

If you do not want to save anything, you can take the test and read your result without creating an account.

Ready when you are.
