Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 2023/09/09
Thank you for using RealizeYou ("we," "us," "our"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and the security of your data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information you provide to us through our website, while addressing both U.S. and GDPR regulations.

Information We Collect

• User-Submitted Data: We collect and store the information you willingly share on our website, including responses to our tests. This data is anonymous and contains no personally identifiable information (PII).
• Technical Information: Whenever you use our website, we automatically record certain technical information. This includes details about your device and your interactions with our website, such as your IP address, browser type, page views, and more. We use Google Analytics, a third-party service, to analyze website usage. Google Analytics may employ cookies and other technologies to collect technical data, as explained in Google's privacy policy. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking at any time.

How We Use Your Data

We use the collected data for research purposes and to enhance the user experience on our website. Specifically:

1. Content and Services: To provide you with content and services relevant to your personality type.
2. Analytics: To conduct analytics on your website usage, helping us better understand your needs and optimize our service. We use Google Analytics to collect standard internet log information and visitor behavior patterns, aiding in our website's improvement.
3. Website Enhancement: To improve our website and develop new functionality.
4. Research: To conduct internal analysis and scientific/statistical research to enhance our services and gain insights into personality traits. Responses to our tests are anonymized or pseudonymized, with strict access controls. Even our researchers see only data that cannot be connected to any individual's identity, and we publish only aggregate statistical data.

Special Category Data

Where you provide us with special category personal data (e.g., religious beliefs or political views), we may further process this data for research purposes. We anonymize the data so that it ceases to be personal data.

Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to prevent data loss, misuse, or alteration. This includes secure server storage, encrypted traffic, and anonymization or pseudonymization of personal information where possible. However, complete internet data security cannot be guaranteed. Please exercise caution when sharing sensitive data.

Data Retention

We retain your responses to tests, surveys, log records, and similar data. This is essential for preserving research integrity, ensuring website security, and providing our services.
We keep your information only as long as needed to provide services and fulfill the purposes described in this policy. Activity logs are retained for 1 year, while content submitted to our website, such as test submissions, is kept indefinitely.

Sharing of Data

We do not share any personally identifiable information with third parties. We may, however, share aggregated and anonymized data with partners, advertisers, or for research purposes.

Age Restrictions

You may use our website only if you're of an age at which you can provide consent to data processing under your country's laws. Children under 13 aren't allowed to use our website. We unfortunately don’t have the resources to verify and track parental consent, so if you’re below the age at which you can provide consent in your country, you are not entitled to use our website.

You can choose not to provide any data through our website forms. Additionally, you can adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies and disable web analytics tracking.
