About Us

The Its Me Experiment is a social science project exploring identity, curiosity, and online discovery. Using publicly available records, we have randomly selected a single person's name and created a live website where people of the same name can see if they are "The One".

The goal is simple yet intriguing: to see if and when the person with that exact same name discovers this site and answers all questions correctly on the Its Me page.

This experiment will run continuously until the selected person finds the website and correctly answers the questions. If and when they do, a small prize will be awarded to acknowledge their participation in the experiment.

We will never publish any personal data or information used in identifying the individual chosen. The only information we will share publicly during and if the chosen person is found is:

• The selected name
• The amount of time it took to be found
• The start and end date of the experiment
• A confirmation that the person was found

If the chosen person wishes to share their story, this is entirely their decision. We respect and support their privacy at all times.

Experiment Statistics

As part of the experiment, we collect anonymous data to provide insight into how people are interacting with the site. This includes:

• Displaying a live map showing the rough, non-identifiable location of visitors based on their IP region (e.g., city or region-level only, not street-level).
• Total number of visits to the site.
• The number of users who passed the initial name check but failed one or more of the follow-up criteria.
• The number of visitors from the United Kingdom specifically, since the experiment is targeted to UK-based individuals.

No personally identifiable information is collected, stored, or displayed. The map data is fully anonymous and used strictly for visualizing general interest and reach. This helps us better understand the experiment’s engagement without compromising anyone’s privacy or location security.

All participation is voluntary, and your visit alone does not identify you in any way. We use this data solely for anonymous statistical purposes and to enhance the experiment’s transparency and progress tracking.
