This Privacy Policy explains how TypologyTesting.com collects, uses, protects, and shares your information when you use our services.
Plain Language Overview
TypologyTesting.com ("we", "our", or "us") protects your identifiable data to the maximum extent allowed by law. We never sell or share your identifiable information with advertisers or non-academic third parties.
Your assessment responses are stored indefinitely in anonymized form for research and quality improvement. When used for scientific purposes, responses are never linked to your identity.
- Identifiable data is never shared with advertisers or non-academic partners.
- Anonymous response data may be used for academic research and stored indefinitely.

How We Use Your Information

Research Use and Anonymization
We support open science while protecting your identity. Responses used for research are stripped of personal identifiers (e.g., name, email, IP, free-text fields). Researchers cannot link responses back to you.
Aggregate, de-identified response data may be uploaded to scientific repositories so findings can be verified and replicated.
Security
Passwords are salted and hashed, and account data is stored in encrypted systems. We use modern security practices to protect data in transit and at rest.
Data Retention and Deletion
Account information is retained while your account is active. You can delete your account at any time, which removes personal identifiers (e.g., name, email) from stored responses.
Anonymous response data may be retained indefinitely for research and service improvement, without any identifiers.
Your Choices and Rights
Depending on your region, you may have rights over your data. Contact us to exercise them.
- Access, correct, or delete your account information.
- Request export of your account information where applicable.
- Object to or restrict certain processing, subject to legal obligations.
- Manage sharing preferences for your assessment results (e.g., keep private, share with friends, or followers).
Consent for Data Collection
Before taking assessments, you consent to collection and anonymized research use of your responses. You may skip any question you prefer not to answer.
Results Pages and Sharing
Results pages use randomly generated links and contain no personal identifiers. If you share a results link, recipients may forward it. Comments on results pages may be visible to others who complete the same assessment.
