Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to MJ Era Quiz (the "Site"). Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described below. This policy is designed to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and Google AdSense program policies.

2. Information We Collect

We intentionally collect as little personal data as possible. The Site does not require an account, and we do not ask for your name, email, address, or any other identifying information to take the quiz. The data we may process includes:

• Quiz selections: the answers you choose while taking the quiz, used only in your browser to calculate your personality era result.
• Standard log data: anonymized technical information such as browser type, device type, approximate location (country level), and referring URL, collected by our hosting provider for security and analytics purposes.
• Cookies and similar technologies: as described in the "Cookies and Advertising" section below.

We do not sell or rent your personal data to anyone, ever.

This information may include your IP address, browser type, the pages you visit, the time of your visit, and your general (non-precise) location. Please note:
