Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 2026
What we collect
When you complete a screening, we collect your item responses and optional demographic information (age bracket, gender identity, race/ethnicity). We also record an anonymous replay of the session itself, described below.
Session recordings
To find the places this screening is confusing or broken, we record how the page is used: taps, scrolling, how long a question takes, where people get stuck. Every piece of text on the screen is masked before it leaves your browser, so the questions, the answer options and anything you type are not readable in the recording.
We want to be straight with you about the limit of that. A recording still shows where you tapped, and the answer options sit in a fixed order — so someone watching a recording could work out which option you chose, even without being able to read it. The recording carries no name, no email, no IP address and no cookie linking it to any other session, and it is deleted after 30 days.
What we do not collect
- Your name or email address
- Your IP address
- Browser fingerprints or device identifiers
- Cookies that link to other sessions or systems
- Geographic data below state level
Your screening data is anonymous by design. We cannot identify who you are, and we have no mechanism to link your responses to you after the session ends.
Research use
Anonymous screening responses may be used to improve screening tools and understand mental health patterns. Findings may be published in academic reports. Because your data is anonymous, it cannot be linked back to you.
Data retention
Anonymous response data is retained indefinitely for research purposes. Because the data is anonymous, we cannot retrieve or delete individual responses.
Psyche bridge
If you choose to take your results to Psyche, your screening scores (not raw responses) will be linked to your Psyche account and subject to Psyche's privacy policy. Your original responses remain anonymous in our research database.
