Privacy Policy

Effective Date: March 29, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, store, and protect your personal information when you use our website and services. Our services allow users worldwide—including in Canada, the United States, Europe, and South Korea—to voluntarily complete a personality questionnaire and receive a tailored personality report delivered directly to them.

1. Information We Collect

We collect the following categories of personal information only when you voluntarily provide it:

  • Contact information: Your name and email address.
  • Questionnaire responses: Answers to our personality assessment questions, which are used to generate your individualized personality report.

We do not collect sensitive personal information (such as health, racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, or biometric data) unless you voluntarily include it in the questionnaire responses. We do not automatically collect location data, device identifiers, or browsing history beyond what is strictly necessary.

2. How We Collect Your Information

All personal information is collected directly from you when you fill out and submit the personality questionnaire and provide your name and email address to receive your report.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your personal information only for the following purposes:

  • To process your questionnaire and generate and deliver your tailored personality report.
  • To communicate with you about your report or service-related matters.
  • In anonymized and aggregated form for internal research, service improvement, or academic/scientific research.
  • To comply with legal obligations, enforce our terms, or protect our rights.

We do not sell your personal information or use it for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects.

4. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR – EU/UK Users)

For users in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, our processing is based on:

  • Performance of a contract (delivering the report you requested).
  • Legitimate interests (improving our services and conducting anonymized research).
  • Your consent (where applicable – you may withdraw it at any time).

5. Sharing and Disclosure of Your Information

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share your information only in these limited cases:

  • With trusted service providers (e.g., hosting, email delivery) who are contractually bound to protect your data.
  • With researchers or partners, but only after the data has been fully anonymized.
  • When required by law or valid legal process.
  • In the event of a business merger or acquisition (with notice where required).

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal information (name, email, questionnaire responses, and generated report) for 7 years from the date of your last interaction with us. After this period, we will securely delete or irreversibly anonymize your data.

You may request earlier deletion, subject to legal limitations.

7. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you have the following rights:

  • Access, correct, or delete your personal information.
  • Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
  • Object to or restrict certain processing.
  • File a complaint with the relevant privacy regulator (e.g., Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, your local EU data protection authority, etc.).

To exercise your rights, contact us using the details below. We will respond within legally required timeframes after verifying your identity.

8. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information, including encryption. However, no system is completely secure.

9. International Data Transfers

Your data is primarily stored in USA. When transferred internationally, we use appropriate safeguards recognized under PIPEDA, GDPR, and PIPA.

10. Children’s Privacy and Students

Our services are generally intended for individuals 18 years of age and older. However, we recognize that students (including those under the age of 18) may participate in the personality questionnaire, for example through school or educational programs.

If you are under 18 years old, we require verifiable parental or guardian consent before collecting, processing, or retaining your personal information. We will not knowingly collect or process personal information from minors without such consent.

Parents or guardians may contact us at any time to review, request deletion, or withdraw consent for their child’s data. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a minor without valid parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information promptly.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The new effective date will be posted at the top. Material changes will be notified via the website or email where appropriate.
