Privacy and local data
Updated 25 September 2026. This policy describes version 7.1.
Answers and reports
The questionnaire is scored in your browser. This release contains no application endpoint that receives your answers. A completed report URL includes encoded answers, mode, elapsed time and a timestamp after the # symbol. Browsers do not send that fragment with ordinary page requests, but scripts running on the page can access it.
Anyone who receives the full result URL can decode the answers. Base64 encoding is not encryption. Do not share a result URL if you want the answers to remain private. A score image shares the scores without the individual responses.
Storage on your device
- Theme preferences can be stored locally when you choose a theme.
- Progress is stored only when you select Save progress. It is excluded from restoration after 24 hours and deleted on a subsequent visit; the browser does not run background deletion while the site is closed.
- A completed result link is stored only when you click Save on this device. It stays until cleared.
Use the Clear saved Personica data control in the footer to delete Personica local-storage entries, including legacy result-history data. You can also clear site data in your browser. Avoid saving on shared devices.
Hosting and external links
Your hosting provider processes ordinary web requests and may record IP addresses, browser information and requested paths. The provider and retention settings are controlled by the site operator. Visiting an external resource such as O*NET is subject to that service’s policies.
Advertising, analytics and fonts
This release loads Google AdSense for advertising and Google Analytics (G-2QBFLZRKCY) for usage measurement. These third-party services may process page visits, device information and identifiers, and may use cookies or similar technologies. Scripts running on a page can access its URL, including a result fragment. Fonts use your device’s system fonts. See Google’s privacy policy and how Google uses information from partner sites.
Feedback
Email feedback is processed by the sender’s and recipient’s email providers. Do not include private questionnaire answers, sensitive personal details or result URLs unless needed and deliberately shared. Use the contact page for questions or deletion requests concerning information you have emailed.
Your choices
You may use the core tools without saving progress or results. You can stop at any time, close the page, delete local data and choose not to share. A link already shared with another person cannot be remotely revoked by this static site.
Optional seven-day plans
If you choose Save plan on this device, your selected goal, focus, action, cue, obstacle, notes and seven practice-day checkboxes are stored locally. A hash of the result token identifies which report the plan belongs to. Plans remain until you clear them.
Written plans and notes are not added to result links or score images. They appear in a printed report and downloaded plan text if you choose those actions. The public worksheet is not saved automatically. Report-fit feedback changes the page locally and is not transmitted.
