Privacy Policy

Your Privacy, Plain and Simple

We believe privacy policies should be readable, not just legally compliant. Here's exactly what we collect, why, and what you can do about it.

Last updated: March 20, 2026

Your data in plain English

Your personality test scores are calculated entirely in your browser — they never leave your device unless you choose to save or share them. We do not sell your data to anyone. You do not need an account to take any test. If you do create an account (for hiring features), your data is stored securely and you can request deletion at any time.

Here is exactly what happens with your information:

Retention, Deletion, and Your Consent

How long we keep things

Browser data (localStorage) stays on your device until you clear it — we have no access to it and no copy of it on our servers. Server data for hiring accounts is retained while your account is active. After you close your account, we remove personal data from active systems within 30 days and from backups within 90 days.

How to delete

For free test results, clear your browser’s localStorage (Settings → Privacy → Clear browsing data in most browsers). For account data on the hiring platform, email privacy@seemypersonality.com or use the deletion option in your account settings. We will confirm deletion within 30 days.

Your consent controls

Our cookie banner lets you opt in or out of non-essential cookies at any time. There are no dark patterns — declining cookies is just as easy as accepting them. You can withdraw consent whenever you like by reopening the cookie preferences panel or emailing us directly.

Your Rights

What You Can Ask Us to Do

You have rights over your personal data under GDPR, CCPA, and other privacy laws. Here's how to exercise them.

Right to access your data +

You can request a copy of any personal data we hold about you. For free test takers, this is typically limited to an email address (if you provided one) and anonymized analytics. For B2B platform users, it includes account details, assessment data, and AI tool logs. Email privacy@seemypersonality.com and we'll respond within 30 days.

Right to delete your data +

You can ask us to delete your personal data at any time. We'll remove it from our active systems within 30 days, and from backups within 90 days. For free test takers who never provided an email, we have no personal data to delete. Email privacy@seemypersonality.com to make a request.

Right to data portability +

You can request your data in a machine-readable format (JSON). This applies to assessment responses, personality scores, and account information. We'll provide the export within 30 days of your request.

Right to object to processing +

You can object to processing based on legitimate interest, including analytics and experiment tracking. Use the cookie consent banner to withdraw consent for non-essential cookies, or email us to object to other processing activities.

Right to withdraw consent +

Where we rely on your consent (such as optional email collection or non-essential cookies), you can withdraw it at any time. Click "Manage Preferences" in the cookie banner to adjust cookie settings, or email us to withdraw consent for other processing.

Right to restrict processing +

You can ask us to temporarily stop processing your data while we verify its accuracy or assess an objection. We'll keep the data but won't process it further until the issue is resolved.

California residents (CCPA/CPRA) +

If you're a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we collect, request its deletion, and opt out of its sale. We don't sell personal information. You can exercise these rights by emailing privacy@seemypersonality.com. We won't discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights.

How to exercise your rights +

Email privacy@seemypersonality.com with your request. Include enough information for us to verify your identity (the email address you used, if any). We'll respond within 30 days. If we need more time, we'll let you know why and when to expect a response.

Children’s Privacy

SeeMyPersonality isn’t directed at children under 16. We don’t knowingly collect personal data from minors. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we’ll delete it promptly.

Data Security

All data is transmitted over HTTPS with TLS encryption. Our database uses row-level security policies so users can only access their own data. Personality test scoring runs entirely in your browser, so your individual responses never leave your device unless you choose to save or share your results. We don’t store passwords in plain text.

International Data Transfers

Our infrastructure is hosted in the United States (Vercel and Supabase). If you’re in the EU or UK, your data may be transferred to the US for processing. We rely on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission to ensure adequate safeguards for these transfers.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. If we make significant changes, we’ll post a notice on the site and update the “Last updated” date at the top. For B2B customers with active subscriptions, we’ll also send an email notification.
