Privacy policy
Last updated:
This policy explains what data is collected when you use passthechallenge.com (the "site"), why, and your choices. The site is operated by Andre. You can reach us through the contact form.
What we collect
- No accounts. The calculators run entirely in your browser. The numbers you type aren’t sent to us. They may appear in the page address (URL) so you can share a result, and like any URL, that can be recorded by analytics.
- Contact form. If you use the contact form, we receive your message and, if you choose to give them, your name and email address. They’re delivered to us through Telegram and used only to read and reply to your message. The form is protected by Cloudflare Turnstile, which checks that you’re not a bot and processes technical data such as your IP address and browser details.
- Analytics. We use Google Analytics 4 to understand which pages are used. It collects information such as pages viewed, approximate location, device and browser type, and referring site, using cookies or similar identifiers.
- Advertising. We use Google AdSense to show ads. Google and its partners use cookies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other sites, measure ads, and fight fraud. See how Google uses information from sites that use its services and how Google uses cookies in advertising.
- Hosting logs. Our host (Cloudflare) processes technical data such as IP addresses to deliver and secure the site.
- Your consent choice is stored in your browser’s local storage under the key
ptc_consent.
Consent in the EEA, UK and Switzerland
We use Google Consent Mode v2. For visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, analytics and advertising storage are denied by default. Google tags then run in a restricted, cookieless mode and ads are limited to non-personalised measurement. They only use cookies if you click "Accept". You can change your choice at any time with the "Cookie settings" link in the footer. We may also use Google’s certified consent management platform for these regions; if so, its message replaces our banner.
Legal bases (GDPR / UK GDPR): consent for analytics and advertising cookies; legitimate interests for basic security and hosting logs.
Your choices
- Change consent with "Cookie settings" in the footer, or clear the site’s local storage.
- Opt out of personalised advertising at Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info.
- Block Google Analytics with the Google Analytics opt-out add-on.
- Block or delete cookies in your browser settings.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR, UK GDPR or US state privacy laws such as California’s), you may have rights to access, correct, delete or object to the processing of your personal data, to withdraw consent, and to complain to your data protection authority. We don’t sell personal data for money. Because we don’t hold accounts, most data sits with Google; contact us and we’ll help where we can.
Data transfers and retention
Google and Cloudflare may process data outside your country, including in the United States, under their own safeguards. Google Analytics data is kept for the retention period set in our Analytics settings (no longer than 14 months).
Children
The site isn’t directed at children under 16, and we don’t knowingly collect their data.
Changes
We’ll update this page if our practices change, and change the date above.
