Browser type and version.
Device type and operating system.
Pages visited and referring URLs.

Approximate geographic location inferred from an IP address.

3.3 Autism Screening Responses and Results

RAADSrTests.com provides autism-related screening and self-assessment resources, including the following:

RAADS R Test – An autism screening resource based on the Ritvo Autism Asperger Diagnostic Scale–Revised.
Am I Autistic Quiz – A questionnaire exploring autism-related characteristics and personal experiences.
Aspergers Test – An educational screening resource examining characteristics historically associated with Asperger’s syndrome.

When using these tools, visitors may provide answers relating to social communication, sensory processing, routines, focused interests, childhood experiences, emotional responses, and other characteristics associated with autism.

Depending on the technical configuration of each tool, the responses may be processed locally within the visitor’s browser or transmitted to a server for scoring and result generation.

Actual processing and storage of test responses: [Specify whether answers and scores are processed exclusively in the browser, sent to a server, stored in a database, retained in cookies or local storage, or shared with any service providers.]

Because screening responses may reveal information relating to health or neurodevelopmental characteristics, they may qualify as sensitive personal information or special-category personal data under applicable privacy laws.

Where processing such information requires explicit consent or another special legal basis, we must establish that basis before conducting the processing.

Screening responses should not be disclosed to advertising partners for personalized advertising or audience profiling.

4. How We Use Personal Information

Personal information may be used for the following purposes, where applicable and legally permitted:

Operating and maintaining our website.
Providing requested autism screening functions and results.

Identifying technical problems and improving website performance.
Understanding general website usage through permitted analytics.
Displaying and measuring advertisements.
Managing cookie preferences and consent choices.
Complying with legal obligations and responding to valid legal requests.

We do not provide medical diagnoses or clinical evaluations through our general website support service.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

RAADSrTests.com may use cookies, pixels, tags, local storage, and similar technologies.

Cookies are small data files that websites or service providers may place on a visitor’s browser or device. They can support essential website operations, remember settings, enable analytics, and facilitate advertising.

Cookies may be classified into the following categories:

5.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These technologies support essential website functions such as security, basic functionality, and the storage of privacy preferences.

Where legally permitted, strictly necessary technologies may operate without separate optional consent.

5.2 Analytics Cookies

Analytics technologies may help us understand aggregate visitor activity, website performance, and navigation patterns.

Nonessential analytics technologies are subject to applicable consent requirements.

5.3 Advertising Cookies

Advertising technologies may support ad delivery, frequency management, measurement, fraud prevention, and, where legally permitted, personalized advertising.

Advertising partners may process technical information such as online identifiers, IP addresses, device characteristics, browsing activity, and interactions with advertisements.

Where consent is required, such technologies should not be activated until the relevant consent has been obtained.

5.4 Functional Cookies

Functional technologies may be used to remember optional website preferences or support additional features.

Whether consent is necessary depends on the purpose and legal requirements applicable to the particular technology.

RAADSrTests.com may use Google AdSense, an advertising service provided by Google, to display advertisements and support the operation of our free educational resources.

For visitors in relevant European jurisdictions, Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, is an important Google service provider.

Delivering contextual or personalized advertisements.

Mediavine and participating advertising technology providers may use cookies and similar technologies to deliver advertisements, measure advertising performance, prevent fraud, and support other permitted advertising activities.

8. Advertising and Sensitive Health Information

Our website focuses on autism screening and educational information relating to neurodevelopmental differences.

We recognize that a visitor’s screening responses, scores, or personal health-related experiences can be sensitive.

We aim to separate the information required to provide screening functionality from information processed for advertising.

Individual autism screening answers and scores must not be used by our advertising partners for health-based audience profiling or personalized advertising.

We do not intend to use screening responses to create advertising categories based on whether a visitor may be autistic, have Asperger’s-related traits, or have another health-related characteristic.

Advertising technology configurations must be reviewed to ensure that sensitive screening information is not inadvertently transmitted through URLs, page metadata, tracking events, or other technical integrations.

9. Consent Management and Privacy Choices

Where applicable, visitors can:

Accept optional data processing.
Reject optional cookies and tracking technologies.

Customize their consent preferences.
Withdraw or change previously provided consent.

Consent Management Platform: [Insert your actual CMP provider, such as the Mediavine-approved CMP or another appropriately certified solution.]

Consent choices are applied according to applicable law and the purposes supported by the implemented consent management system.

10. Google Analytics and Website Analytics

If enabled, RAADSrTests.com may use Google Analytics or other analytics services to understand general website traffic and improve the user experience.

Analytics information may include page visits, browser and device information, approximate location, engagement events, and website performance measurements.

Where required, nonessential analytics tracking is activated only after valid consent.

We do not intend to transmit autism screening answers, individual scores, or other sensitive screening details to analytics services.

11. Hosting and Server Logs

Our hosting provider may process technical information required to deliver RAADSrTests.com to visitors.

Server logs may contain IP addresses, access timestamps, requested files, browser information, error messages, and other technical details.

Such information may be used for website operation, diagnostics, cybersecurity, and the prevention of misuse.

Hosting provider: [Insert legal name and location of hosting company.]

Server log retention: [Insert actual retention period.]

12. Data Sharing and Third-Party Service Providers

Depending on the services actually enabled, recipients may include:

Website hosting and infrastructure providers.
Security and performance service providers.
Consent management providers.
Advertising technology companies.
Analytics providers.
Email and communication service providers.
Government authorities where legally required.

Where applicable, we seek appropriate contractual and technical protections for personal information.

Third-party advertising providers may also act as independent data controllers under applicable privacy laws. Their processing practices are described in their own privacy notices.

13. Legal Bases for Processing Under GDPR

Where the General Data Protection Regulation applies, processing of personal data must rely on an appropriate legal basis.

Depending on the activity, this may include:

Consent – Article 6(1)(a): For optional tracking, advertising personalization, and other activities requiring consent.
Contract – Article 6(1)(b): Where processing is necessary to provide a service under an applicable contract.
Legal obligation – Article 6(1)(c): Where processing is necessary to comply with legal requirements.
Legitimate interests – Article 6(1)(f): For activities such as maintaining website security, where those interests are not overridden by applicable individual rights.

Health-related screening responses may constitute special-category personal data under Article 9 GDPR. If these are processed, an applicable Article 9 condition is required in addition to an Article 6 legal basis.

Where explicit consent is the applicable Article 9 condition, it must be obtained through a clear and valid consent process before the relevant processing takes place.

[Specify the actual legal bases and Article 9 condition for your test-response processing before publication.]

14. International Data Transfers

Some service providers may process personal information in countries outside the visitor’s country of residence, including the United States.

Where GDPR applies, international transfers must comply with the requirements of Chapter V GDPR.

Depending on the recipient and circumstances, appropriate transfer mechanisms may include an applicable adequacy decision, the EU-US Data Privacy Framework where valid and applicable, or approved contractual safeguards.

The mechanisms applicable to any particular transfer depend on the service provider, its legal status, and the circumstances of the processing.

15. Data Retention

We seek to retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, or as otherwise required or permitted by applicable law.

Different information categories may have different retention periods.

Examples include technical server logs, contact messages, consent records, advertising identifiers, and any screening responses that are actually retained.

Screening response retention: [Specify whether individual responses and scores are stored and, if so, for how long.]

Contact inquiry retention: [Insert applicable retention policy.]

Cookie retention: Specific periods depend on the cookies and providers actually used. Details should be available through the consent management system.

16. Data Security

We seek to maintain reasonable technical and organizational safeguards appropriate to the information processed.

These may include encrypted HTTPS connections, restricted administrative access, software maintenance, and other measures intended to protect website infrastructure and user information.

No internet-based service can guarantee complete security. Visitors should avoid transmitting unnecessary sensitive personal information through general support channels.

17. Privacy Rights for European Visitors

Where GDPR or similar privacy legislation applies, visitors may have rights including:

The right to request access to their personal information.
The right to request correction of inaccurate information.
The right to request deletion, subject to applicable exceptions.
The right to restrict certain processing activities.
The right to object to certain processing activities.
The right to data portability where legally applicable.
The right to withdraw consent at any time.
The right to lodge a complaint with an appropriate supervisory authority.

18. United States State Privacy Rights

Residents of certain US states, including California, may have privacy rights under applicable state laws.

Depending on the law and whether it applies to our operations, these rights may include requesting access to personal information, correction, deletion, information about disclosures, or opting out of certain forms of targeted advertising, sale, or sharing.

We do not claim that every state privacy statute applies to RAADSrTests.com. Specific rights depend on the relevant law, the visitor’s residence, and the circumstances of our data processing.

If our advertising practices qualify as a sale or sharing of personal information under applicable law, required notice and opt-out mechanisms must be provided.

Where required, visitors must be able to exercise applicable opt-out rights, including through recognized preference signals where the relevant law requires honoring them.

US Privacy Choices: [Add the applicable working opt-out link or privacy preference control if required.]

Privacy inquiries can be sent to [email protected].

We recognize the importance of protecting children and young people online.

Our website must not knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable laws, including the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) where relevant.

If we become aware of personal information collected from a child without legally required parental consent or another valid legal basis, we will take appropriate action.

Parents or guardians with privacy concerns may contact [email protected].
