I recently took an IQ test on BlossomUP, thinking it was free. After finishing, I was asked to pay $1.95 to unlock my results. I paid, but a few days later, I noticed a $40 charge that I never agreed to. That’s when I started wondering—if they’re charging people without clear consent, how are they handling user data?

My main concerns:

1.Where is BlossomUP storing payment details? Do they comply with PCI standards, or is there a risk of data misuse?

  1. Do they keep user data (answers, test results, emails, IPs) even after an account is “deleted”?
  2. Has there been any report of them selling user data or sharing it with third parties?

If I’ve used their service, should I be worried about my payment info being stored insecurely?I know many sites like this make money by selling behavioral data, so I’m curious if anyone has looked into Brainmanager.io’s data practices. If they handle payments like this, I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re not careful with user data either.
