The short version. We collect your email and your quiz answers to write your report. We don't sell or share your data with advertisers or marketers. The AI service that drafts your report sees your answers; one editor at VegOut Magazine may read your report and answers as part of editorial review.
what we collect
- Your email address — required to deliver your report.
- Your answers to the thirty-four quiz questions, including any of the five optional written answers you choose to share.
- The pattern name your answers most clearly support — one of eight inheritance patterns the diagnostic distinguishes between.
- Payment record if you buy the full report: the fact that you paid, the amount, the date. Card details go to Stripe, not to us.
- Site usage events (pageviews, milestones — quiz started, completed, paid). We use self-hosted Plausible analytics. No Google or Meta trackers.
what we do with it
- Your answers are sent to Anthropic's Claude AI service to generate the teaser and full report. Anthropic is contractually prohibited from training on your data; the data is deleted from Anthropic's servers within 30 days per their data retention policy.
- The pattern name is stored alongside your account so we can resend the report if you ask us to.
- Your email is used to send your report and any follow-up emails you choose to receive. We use Kit (kit.com) for our email subscriber management.
- An editor at VegOut Magazine may read your answers and report as part of editorial review of the diagnostic.
what we don't do
- We don't sell or share your data with advertisers, data brokers, or marketing partners.
- We don't run third-party advertising trackers on the assessment.
- Your answers are not used to train any AI model — not ours, not Anthropic's.
who we share data with
- Anthropic — for AI-assisted report generation. Receives your scored profile and quiz answers; deleted within 30 days; not used for training.
- Stripe — for payment processing. Receives card details (we never do).
- Kit — for email delivery. Receives your email address and pattern name.
- VegOut Magazine editorial — one editor may review your report as part of editorial quality review.
- No one else.
how long we keep it
- Email address: until you ask us to delete it.
- Quiz answers and report: stored until you request deletion.
- Payment records: seven years (tax requirement).
