Quiz – How wild are you?

Privacy Policy

Last updated 7 June 2026

1. Who we are

This policy explains how Meander collects and uses your personal data when you take the How Wild Are You? quiz, view your results, and sign up for the Wildness email course. It also sets out your rights and how to exercise them.

The data controller responsible for your personal data is:

Meandros LDA
Caminho Do Pico Neto, Santo Espírito, Portugal 9580-203
Contact for privacy matters: tom@meandermagazine.earth

2. What data we collect

Depending on how you use the quiz, we may collect:

Quiz answers – the responses you select during the quiz, used to calculate your Wildness archetype.
Your result – the archetype assigned to you (e.g. “The Sovereign”).
Email address – only if you choose to enter it.
Your name – only if you choose to add it to your profile.
Marketing preference – whether you opted in to the free Wildness email course.
Technical data – collected automatically, such as your IP address, approximate location, and device/browser type. We use this to keep the site secure and to record where and when you gave consent.

We do not require your email address to show you your quiz results.

3. How and why we use your data, and our legal bases

Under the EU GDPR, we must have a lawful basis for processing your data. We rely on the following:

What we do	Why	Lawful basis
Calculate and show your quiz result	To give you the result you asked for	Performance of a service you requested / our legitimate interest in running the quiz
Send you the free Wildness email course	Because you ticked the box to receive it	Consent (Article 6(1)(a))
Verify your email address	To make sure the address is valid and the request is genuine	Our legitimate interest, or consent, depending on the flow
Keep a record of your consent	To demonstrate compliance	Legal obligation / legitimate interest

You are never required to consent to marketing in order to see your results.

4. The Wildness email course (marketing)

If you tick “Yes, send me my results + the free Wildness email course,” we will use your email address to send you that course and related wildness content.

This is optional – the box is unticked by default.
You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in every email, or by contacting us at tom@meandermagazine.earth.
Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it, and does not affect anything you’ve already received.

If you did not tick the box, we will not use your email for marketing.

5. Who we share your data with

We use trusted third-party providers to operate the quiz and deliver emails. These are:

Supabase – secure database and sign-in (hosted in the EU).
Vercel – website hosting.
Resend – sending transactional emails (your results and sign-in links).
MailerLite – storing your email and sending the course and newsletter (if you opt in).

These providers act as our processors and only handle your data on our instructions. We do not sell your personal data to anyone.

6. International transfers

Some of our providers may process your data outside the EEA (for example, Resend and Vercel are based in the United States). Where this happens, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses or an adequacy decision.

7. How long we keep your data

Quiz answers and results: deleted after 500 days.
Email address (course subscribers): kept until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it.
Consent records: kept for as long as we rely on the consent, plus a reasonable period afterward.

8. Your rights

You have the right to:

Access the personal data we hold about you.
Rectify inaccurate or incomplete data.
Erase your data (“right to be forgotten”).
Restrict or object to certain processing.
Data portability – receive your data in a portable format.
Withdraw consent at any time, where we rely on consent.
Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

To exercise any of these, contact us at tom@meandermagazine.earth. We will respond within one month.

9. Complaints

If you have concerns about how we handle your data, you can complain to the relevant supervisory authority:

CNPD in Portugal – cnpd.pt

10. Cookies

We use only strictly necessary cookies (to keep you signed in) and no analytics or advertising trackers. See our Cookie Policy for the full details.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The “last updated” date at the top reflects the most recent version. Material changes will be communicated where appropriate.
