We believe in full transparency. Here's exactly how we handle your data.

Last updated: February 25, 2026

BrainyPulse ("we", "us", or "our") operates the website located at https://www.brainypulse.com (the "Service"). This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information when you use our Service and the choices you have associated with that data.

1. Information We Collect

BrainyPulse is designed to be used without creating an account. We collect the minimum amount of information necessary to operate the Service:

  • Usage Data: We may collect non-personally identifiable information about how the Service is accessed and used ("Usage Data"). This may include your browser type, browser version, the pages of our Service you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, and other diagnostic data.
  • Local Storage / Cookies (First-Party): We store your quiz scores, difficulty preferences, and achievement progress in your browser's local storage. This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to our servers.
  • Contact Form Data: If you contact us via our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and message content solely to respond to your enquiry.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected data for the following purposes:

  • To provide and maintain our Service
  • To detect, prevent, and address technical issues
  • To monitor the usage of our Service (via anonymised analytics)
  • To respond to your queries submitted via our contact form

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties.

3. Google AdSense & Advertising

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our website. Google AdSense is a third-party ad network operated by Google LLC. The ads help us keep BrainyPulse 100% free for all users.

Google AdSense may use cookies and web beacons to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites on the internet. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to our Service and/or other sites on the Internet.

You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or www.aboutads.info.

⚠️ For Visitors Under 13: BrainyPulse is intended for children. We have configured our ads to be non-personalised (interest-based targeting is disabled) for all users. Google AdSense is instructed not to serve personalised ads on this site. See our COPPA section below.

These third-party services have their own Privacy Policies governing the use of your information. We encourage you to review them. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external sites.

6. Children's Privacy (COPPA)

🧒 This section is important.

BrainyPulse is primarily designed for children under the age of 13. We comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and the UK Children's Code.

We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. Our Service does not require registration, and no personal data is required to use any feature of BrainyPulse.

We have configured Google AdSense to serve non-personalised ads only across our entire website, meaning no interest-based or behavioural targeting is used. This applies to all visitors regardless of age.

If you are a parent or guardian and you believe your child has provided us with personal information without your consent, please contact us at privacy@brainypulse.com and we will promptly delete such information.

7. Data Retention

We do not store personal data on our servers beyond what is submitted through our contact form. Contact form submissions are retained only as long as necessary to respond to your enquiry and are then deleted.

Quiz scores and game progress stored in your browser's local storage remain on your device until you clear your browser data.

8. Your Rights (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or United Kingdom, you have certain data protection rights, including:

  • The right to access, update, or delete the information we hold about you
  • The right to rectification if your information is inaccurate or incomplete
  • The right to object to our processing of your personal data
  • The right to data portability
  • The right to withdraw consent at any time

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at privacy@brainypulse.com.
