Privacy Policy & Intellectual Honor Code
1. Strict Anti-AI & Independent Human Solving
RankMyMind exists solely to challenge and celebrate authentic human cognitive power. Every single problem, puzzle, and computation must be solved by you personally using your own brain and intellect.
✅ Allowed & Encouraged
- Using your own cognitive intuition and mental math.
- Rough scratch paper, pencil, and physical notepad calculations.
- Practicing repeatedly in Practice Mode to hone speed.
❌ Strictly Prohibited
- Feeding questions into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Copilot.
- Using optical image solver extensions or browser bot scripts.
- Group solving or sharing questions during active tournaments.
Why this matters: When someone uses AI to solve questions, they corrupt the integrity of the leaderboard and steal hard-earned recognition from honest students. Any account detected utilizing automated solver bots or AI will face immediate permanent disqualification and prize revocation.
2 Information We Collect
We believe in radical data minimization. We only collect the minimal essential information necessary to power real-time rankings:
- Account Credentials: Display username, email address, and an encrypted password hash (salted using industry-standard bcrypt).
- Arena Records: Test scores, subjects played (Math, Physics, IQ), time taken, and unlocked achievement medals.
- Avatar Selection: Your chosen vector avatar (from our 10 curated styles) or custom uploaded photo.
- Social Relations: Sent and received friend requests inside the platform.
Your display username, current rankings, average score, member join date, and unlocked achievement badges.
Your email address, raw password, and private communication data are NEVER made visible to anyone.
3 How We Protect Your Data
Your trust is our cornerstone. Here are our transparent privacy guarantees:
- Never Selling Your Data: We do not sell, rent, monetize, or broker your personal information to marketing syndicates or advertisers.
- Zero Ad Network Beacons: RankMyMind operates without intrusive cross-site surveillance tracking scripts.
- Essential Cookies Only: We utilize standard, secure session cookies strictly for authentication and security tokens.
4 Anti-Cheat Speed Telemetry
To safeguard cash tournament winners and prevent bot manipulation, our system monitors anomalous submission metrics:
- Inhuman answer speeds (e.g., solving complex multi-step physics mechanics in under 400 milliseconds).
- Robotic clipboard injection and headless automated browser signatures.
- Concurrent multi-account participation from identical network IPs during tournament windows.
5 Account Deletion & Data Rights
You maintain complete sovereignty over your information. At any point, you may change your avatar, reset your profile, or request complete, permanent deletion of your account and test history.
