Privacy Policy
How CouplesPortal handles information when visitors use quizzes, games, forms, cookies, analytics, advertising, and external services.
Introduction
Welcome to CouplesPortal. Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your information when you visit our website, including any associated content or services.
By using our website, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use our services.
Information We Collect
We collect the following types of information when you interact with our website:
Personal Information
When you contact us or subscribe to our newsletter, we may collect:
Your name
Your email address
Any other information you voluntarily provide through forms on the website.
Non-Personal and Technical Information
We collect non-identifiable information about your interaction with our website, such as:
Browser type and version
IP address
Approximate country inferred from your IP address or CDN/browser network signals for advertising routing and regional compliance
Pages viewed and duration of visits
Referring website or source
Cookie consent choices and related browser storage values where applicable
Quiz and game answers that you voluntarily submit. Answers may include relationship preferences or other information you consider sensitive. They are stored under a randomly generated session ID and are not intentionally associated with a name or email address.
How We Use Your Information
We use the collected information for the following purposes:
To provide and improve our services, including quizzes and content recommendations.
To personalize your experience on the website.
To communicate with you (e.g., responding to inquiries or sending newsletters, if you have opted in).
To analyze website traffic and usage trends for internal reporting.
To select the appropriate advertising provider for your approximate country, including serving Yandex ads for users detected in Russia and Google ads elsewhere.
To comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Quiz and Game Session Storage
When you begin a shared quiz or game, we create a random session ID and separate private access key for each participant. The session link contains these values and should only be shared with your intended partner. Submitted answers are temporarily stored in our hosting database so both participants can complete the experience on different devices and see the shared result. Sessions and their answers expire after 24 hours and are then deleted during automatic cleanup. We do not use quiz or game answers for advertising personalization.
Country and Advertising Routing
When you load the site, we may use your IP address transiently to infer an approximate two-letter country code. We normally perform this lookup on our server using a locally stored GeoLite2 database. If the local lookup cannot determine a country, configured country-detection providers such as api.country.is or get.geojs.io may process the IP address as a fallback. This country code is used to route advertising and to prevent affiliate links from appearing to visitors in Russia. Affiliate links remain hidden when the country cannot be confirmed.
This feature does not write the raw IP address to its country cache. Cached country results are keyed with a one-way HMAC value and expire automatically; the approximate country code may also be retained temporarily in browser session storage. These values are not intended to identify you by name.
This product includes GeoLite Data created by MaxMind, available from https://www.maxmind.com.
Third-Party Advertising and Analytics
Google AdSense, the Yandex Advertising Network, Ahrefs Analytics, and related service providers may use cookies, local storage, IP address information, device/browser information, and similar technologies to provide ads, measure performance, prevent fraud, and analyze usage. Where required, advertising scripts are intended to load according to applicable consent choices and regional rules.
Third-Party Fonts
Our website uses third-party font services, such as Google Fonts, to provide consistent and visually appealing typography. When you access our site, your browser may automatically load these fonts from external servers, which could result in the processing of your IP address by the respective font provider.
For more information, please refer to the privacy policies of:
- Google Fonts: https://policies.google.com/privacy
Anonymous Quiz Statistics
When both participants complete an eligible fixed-choice quiz or game, the service may add anonymous totals to a private internal statistics dataset. These totals can include the number of completed sessions, how often partners selected the same option, and combined counts for predefined answer choices. We do not retain the answer text, access keys, partner links, IP addresses, names, or email addresses in this dataset. A one-way hash of the random session ID is used only to prevent a session from being counted twice. Question-level results are suppressed until at least 10 couples have contributed.
How We Protect Your Information
We use appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. Please use the website at your own risk.
Third-Party Links
Our website may include links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party websites you visit.
Advertising and Analytics
We use third-party services to display ads and analyze website traffic. These services may collect and process your data as described in their own privacy policies and consent requirements:
Google AdSense: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads
Yandex Advertising Network: https://yandex.com/legal/confidential/
Ahrefs Analytics: https://ahrefs.com/legal/privacy-policy
Google Fonts: https://policies.google.com/privacy
The site is configured to serve Yandex ads to visitors whose approximate country is detected as Russia and Google ads to other visitors. Country detection is based on IP/network signals and may reflect a VPN or proxy location rather than a visitor's physical location.
Your Choices
Depending on your location, you may see a cookie or consent banner before advertising services are used. You can also control cookies and local storage through your browser settings. Blocking cookies or storage may affect advertising, analytics, or country-based ad routing. You may stop using a shared quiz or game at any time; its temporary session data expires after 24 hours.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. The updated policy will be posted on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date.
