Privacy Policy
Plain language, because consent that isn't understood isn't consent.
Who is responsible
Your World Stance is an independent political compass platform. We are the controller for the data described here. There is no advertising network, no data broker and no third-party analytics script on this site.
Political opinions are special-category data
Under Article 9 of the GDPR, political opinions may only be processed with a legal basis. By submitting a test you consent to storing your answers so we can show your result and include them in anonymised community comparisons. You can opt out of community comparisons in your profile at any time.
You can request erasure of everything tied to your session key at any time.
The two data choices
Essential + analytics — the default. Stores a session key, your answers, and coarse context such as country from a truncated IP, device type, browser family, timezone and referrer. This is what makes group comparisons possible.
Essential + analytics + fingerprinting — adds a hashed device fingerprint and the full IP address, kept for a maximum of 24 hours purely to detect duplicate submissions, then deleted automatically. You can switch to this or back to analytics-only from the Privacy choices button.
Retention
Shared links and everything attached to them are deleted seven days after creation by an automated job.
Full IP addresses are purged daily. Truncated country-level data is kept with the anonymised response.
Responses themselves are kept indefinitely in anonymised, aggregated form, unless you ask for erasure.
What a shared result reveals
A shared page shows the compass position, the label, and the anonymised community breakdown. It never shows your demographics, your session key, your IP, or anything that identifies you. You can add a password on top.
Your rights
You can request access, correction, erasure, restriction, portability, or object to processing. Use the data request form; requests are handled within 30 days.
