Effective August 5, 2026

Privacy Policy

This policy explains the current MVP as it is built: quiz answers and scores are processed in your browser, no account is required, and we do not operate a server-side answer database.

Sensitive answers stay on the device

Quiz answers and local storage

Sensitive answers stay on the device

When you select an answer, the application stores the selected question numbers in your browser's localStorage so progress can survive a refresh. The data stays under the storage controls of that browser profile. It is not uploaded by the quiz code, attached to the page URL, or included in structured data.

You can remove saved answers with the Clear all answers control. Clearing browser site data can also remove them. Other people who can access the same unlocked browser profile may be able to open the saved progress, so use a private browser window or clear the test on a shared device.

Stored locally: selected question identifiers and update time
Not required: name, email, account, phone number, location
Not uploaded by the MVP: individual answers or final score
User control: clear button and browser site-data settings

Sharing is an explicit action

Result sharing and challenge links

Sharing is an explicit action

Social buttons build a text payload from the score, the count of Yes answers, and the canonical public URL. They open the chosen platform's composer or use the device share sheet. We do not claim that a post was published, and we do not request a social password.

A friend challenge encrypts only the score and places the encrypted data plus its key after the # fragment. Fragments are normally kept by the browser rather than sent in the HTTP request. Anyone who receives the complete link can still decrypt and view the score in this application, so only send it to intended recipients. Individual answers are not placed in the challenge.

Share controls are never automatic.
Result cards are generated locally with Canvas.
Copy Result copies the score text, not hidden answers.
Deleting a sent message is controlled by the receiving platform.

What the application does not control

Logs, hosting, and third parties

What the application does not control

The static site host and network providers may process standard request information such as IP address, time, user agent, requested path, and security events. The local source code does not create an answer analytics request, but hosting-layer logs are governed by the eventual provider's configuration and policy. Deployment details must be added here before production if they change this description.

External source links go to organizations such as CDC, NIAAA, RAINN, FTC, NHTSA, and Rice University archives. Visiting those sites is governed by their policies. Social share composers are also third-party destinations and may set cookies or collect information once opened.

No behavioral advertising is active in the local MVP.
No analytics package is included in the current source.
No embedded social tracking pixel is included.
External navigation leaves this site's privacy boundary.

Conditional wording before ads exist

Advertising disclosure

Conditional wording before ads exist

Third-party advertising is not active in the current MVP. If third-party advertising is enabled in the future, third-party advertisers, including Google, may use cookies and web beacons to serve ads on this site. This policy and any consent controls must be updated before advertising goes live.

Because this test includes adult sexual and substance-related topics, ad availability may be restricted. Advertising must not change the rule that individual answers remain local, and ad scripts must not receive answer state or result details from the quiz.

Current status: no third-party ads
Future disclosure names Google, cookies, web beacons, and ad serving
Answer state must not be passed to advertising code
Policy must be revised before activation

A visible accountability path

Questions and changes

A visible accountability path

Privacy questions can be sent to testricepurity@gmail.com without including intimate answers. We may revise this policy when hosting, analytics, advertising, or product behavior changes. A new effective date should accompany a material revision.

This policy describes the product rather than promising universal legal compliance. Laws and platform obligations vary by place and use. The safest product default remains data minimization: collect no answer set when the tool can work locally.

Privacy Policy

The ten-domain question map

Each domain contains ten equal-weight items. The summaries describe coverage; reflection prompts show the context that a total score cannot preserve.

Social & independence

Travel, parties, spontaneity, and private decisions.

Reflection prompt: Which choices felt genuinely independent, and which were driven by pressure or avoidance?

Dating & attraction

First dates, kissing, apps, and early communication.

Reflection prompt: Do your dating choices match the clarity and honesty you want from other people?

Relationships & commitments

Attachment, partnership, exclusivity, and secrecy.

Reflection prompt: Which relationship agreements deserve a clearer conversation now?

Consensual sexual experience

A neutral count of adult sexual experiences.

Reflection prompt: Experience count says nothing about worth; consider whether your experiences were wanted, safe, and respectful.

Sexual health & decision context

Protection, testing, impairment, and informed consent.

Reflection prompt: Is there any testing, contraception, boundary, or healthcare conversation worth arranging?

Alcohol experiences

Intoxication, consequences, coping, and emergencies.

Reflection prompt: Has alcohol ever taken more control, time, memory, or safety than you intended?

Nicotine & cannabis

Use patterns, responsibilities, spending, and adverse effects.

Reflection prompt: Does your current use fit your priorities, budget, responsibilities, and health?

Other substances

Nonmedical use, mixing, injection, and overdose history.

Reflection prompt: If any use felt hard to control or medically risky, what support would make the next step easier?

Rules, consequences & risk

Deception, property, discipline, gambling, and impaired driving.

Reflection prompt: Which past risk would you handle differently with what you know today?

Digital intimacy & boundaries

Intimate images, privacy, identity, and online meetings.

Reflection prompt: Do your digital habits preserve permission, deletion requests, and safety for everyone involved?

Answer-triggered resource index

A marked pattern can reveal context worth checking, so the interface routes to an appropriate public resource separately from the entertainment score.

Revisit agreements, not labels

A marked secrecy or exclusivity item may signal an unresolved agreement. A direct, safe conversation can clarify expectations without treating the score as proof of intent.

Read about consent and communication ↗

Testing decisions depend on context

A score cannot determine whether you need testing. CDC guidance says testing depends on sexual history, practices, symptoms, age, and local factors; a clinician can help choose appropriate tests.

CDC: getting tested for STIs ↗

Consent is ongoing

Clear, voluntary agreement matters throughout an interaction, including when substances or digital media are involved. Uncertainty is a reason to pause and check in.

RAINN: Consent 101 ↗

Blackouts and breathing problems are safety signals

Memory loss, loss of consciousness, vomiting, or trouble breathing are not ordinary score milestones. If an unconscious person cannot be awakened or breathes abnormally, seek emergency help.

NIAAA: alcohol overdose ↗

Mixing can make effects more dangerous

CDC warns that combining alcohol with other drugs can increase overdose, injury, violence, and other harms. A healthcare professional or confidential support service can help assess personal risk.

CDC: alcohol and other drugs ↗

Do not plan around impaired driving

A past ride or drive does not predict the future. Use a sober driver, transit, taxi, or a place to stay before drinking or using an impairing substance.

NHTSA: impaired driving ↗

Permission travels with the image

Receiving an intimate image is not permission to keep, record, or redistribute it. Honor deletion requests and use platform reporting tools if an image was shared without consent.

FTC: image-based abuse ↗

Method and identity questions

These answers state the product boundaries that should remain true across every version and language.

Is a high Rice Purity Test score good?

No score is inherently good or bad. A high score only means fewer listed experiences were marked Yes. It can reflect preference, opportunity, age, memory, or willingness to disclose.

Is this the official Rice University test?

No. Test Rice Purity is an independent website and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by Rice University. We do not use Rice University logos or claim official status.

Is the Rice Purity Test scientifically validated?

No. The familiar total is an equal-weight lifetime checklist, not a validated psychological scale. This version adds transparent methodology and evidence-based safety links without calling the score clinical science.

Are my answers stored or sent anywhere?

The quiz logic runs in your browser. Progress is stored only in localStorage on your device until you clear it. This MVP does not send individual answers or scores to a server or analytics service.

Why are there no average scores by age or country?

Published quiz sites rarely disclose a representative sample, recruitment method, location, date, exclusions, or weighting. Without those details, a precise average can mislead, so we do not present one as fact.

Can someone under 18 take it?

This version is designed for adults because it contains explicit sexual and substance-use questions. It is not an age-appropriate youth assessment.
