Privacy Policy
Effective Date: August 4, 2026 • Last Updated: August 4, 2026
Introduction
Welcome to Rice Purity Scores ("we," "our," or "our"), accessible at ricepurityscores.com. We built this site to be a place people can actually trust, and that includes being upfront about how it works behind the scenes.
This Privacy Policy explains what information gets collected when you visit our site, how it's used, and what choices you have. Please read through it. By using ricepurityscores.com, you're agreeing to the practices described here. If something in this policy doesn't sit right with you, we'd recommend not using the site.
Information We Collect
Information You Provide
Taking the test itself doesn't require any registration, login, or personal details. We don't collect, store, or record your answers or your final score in any way.
Your result exists only inside your current browser session. The moment you close the tab or leave the page, that score is gone completely, we never saved it in the first place, so there's nothing on our end to keep or lose.
If you choose to screenshot your score and share it with friends or on social media, that's entirely your own decision. Any sharing happens directly between you and the people you send it to, we don't monitor, store, or have access to any of that activity.
If you reach out to us through our Contact page or by email, we only receive your name and email address, and we use that solely to respond to whatever you asked. We don't keep that information around any longer than needed to answer your message.
Information Collected Automatically
When you visit ricepurityscores.com, some basic technical information gets picked up automatically by your browser or by third-party tools we use. This can include things like:
- Your IP address
- Browser type and version
- Device type, whether that's a phone, tablet, or desktop
- Which pages you visited and when
We don't personally collect or store this information ourselves. It's handled through third-party analytics services and used only to understand basic site performance and functionality, not to identify individual visitors.
How We Use Your Information
Whatever limited information does get collected is used for a few specific purposes:
- To keep ricepurityscores.com running smoothly and to make improvements over time
- To understand overall traffic patterns and how visitors use the site, always in aggregate, never tied to a specific person
- To respond to questions or messages sent through our Contact page
- To eventually display ads through Google AdSense, once our application is approved
- To meet any legal obligations that may apply to us
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
What Cookies Actually Are
Cookies are small text files your browser stores when you visit a website. They help the site function properly and let site owners get a general sense of how people are using it, which helps us keep improving things over time.
How We Use Cookies
We're not interested in tracking you across other websites or building a personal profile on anyone. We use a small handful of standard analytics tools purely to understand how the site is performing and where we can make it better.
- Google Analytics — This helps us understand general visitor behavior, like which pages get the most traffic and how long people typically stay. Everything collected through this tool is anonymized and aggregated, it's never linked back to a specific individual.
- Microsoft Clarity — We use this to see anonymized heatmaps and session behavior, which helps us spot areas of the site that might be confusing or slow to load. It doesn't collect anything personally identifiable.
- Google Search Console — This lets us monitor how the site performs in search results. It doesn't place any cookies on your device or collect personal data.
We don't use advertising cookies, marketing trackers, or any third-party tools beyond the ones listed above. If that ever changes, we'll update this policy clearly and promptly.
Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)
This site is meant for users aged 13 and older, and we take compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) seriously.
We do not knowingly collect any personal information from anyone under the age of 13. If you're a parent or guardian and believe your child under 13 has given us personal information without your knowledge, please contact us immediately at admin@ricepurityscores.com, and we'll take the appropriate steps to address it.
We'd also encourage parents to stay involved in their children's online activity and to talk with them about never sharing personal details on any website without permission.
Third-Party Links
Our site occasionally links out to other websites for reference or informational purposes. Those sites operate under their own privacy practices, and we don't have any control over their content or how they handle your data.
We'd recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any external site you land on through a link on ricepurityscores.com, since our policy only covers what happens on our own pages.
Data Security
We take the security of our site and your information seriously. ricepurityscores.com uses HTTPS encryption (SSL/TLS) to protect any data transmitted between your browser and our servers.
That said, no method of transmission over the internet is ever completely secure. While we do our best to use commercially reasonable measures to protect your information, we can't guarantee absolute security, and we'd encourage you to keep that in mind with any website you use.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally to reflect changes in how we operate, legal requirements, or new features on the site. Whenever we make changes, we'll update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.
We'd recommend checking back on this page periodically so you stay informed about how your information is being handled. Continuing to use ricepurityscores.com after any updates means you're accepting the revised policy.
Contact Us
If you have any questions, concerns, or requests related to this Privacy Policy or how we handle data, don't hesitate to reach out through our Contact page or by emailing admin@ricepurityscores.com. We aim to respond to every message and take these concerns seriously.
