KipQuest (kipquest.com) · last updated October 27, 2026

KipQuest is a small, non-commercial learning site run by one person. It turns new research papers into podcasts, quizzes and quests. This page says what it keeps about you, why, and how to have it deleted.

What is kept

  • Your learning progress: quiz and game answers, review schedules, quest progress, flags and playlists, what you have listened to and where you stopped, and the pages you visit (with your browser's user-agent string, to tell devices apart). This is what lets the site pick up where you left off.
  • Written answers you submit for grading, and the grader's feedback.
  • If you create an account: your email address, the name you give (optional), and either a password (stored only as a salted scrypt hash, never in readable form) or, if you sign in with Google, your Google account ID, email address and name. Google sign-in asks Google for nothing else.
  • Cookies: one that identifies your guest save or your signed-in session, and a short-lived one during Google sign-in. They are needed for the site to work. There are no advertising or tracking cookies, and no third-party analytics.

Where it is, and who sees it

  • Everything is stored on the site owner's own computer. Nothing is sold or shared for marketing.
  • Written answers are graded by an AI model running on that same computer; they are not sent to an outside AI service.
  • The site is reached through Cloudflare, which handles the connection (and so sees your IP address) to deliver and protect the site. See Cloudflare's privacy policy.
  • If you sign in with Google, Google knows you signed in to KipQuest. See Google's privacy policy.
  • The site owner can see what is stored, to run and improve the site.

How long it is kept

  • A guest's progress (no account) is deleted after 120 days without a visit.
  • An account and its progress are kept until you delete it.

Deleting your data

Signed in, open your account and choose Delete my account: your account and all its progress are deleted at once. For anything else, or to ask what is kept about you, send a message through the contact form.

Children

KipQuest is not aimed at children under 13 and does not knowingly keep their data.
