Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 4, 2026

The short version: We don't store your personality data in a database. Your assessment results live in your browser session. Share links encode your data in the URL itself — no server lookup needed. If you give us your email, we'll only use it for your report and our newsletter. That's it.

🔍 1. Overview

Depth Profile is a personality assessment tool. You answer questions, we compute scores and generate a report. Simple.

We built this with a clear principle: your personality data is yours. We don't build profiles on you, we don't sell your data, and we don't store your assessment results in any database.

This document explains exactly what we do and don't collect, and why.

📦 2. What Data We Collect

Here's what we actually collect:

Session analytics
We use Vercel Analytics to count page views. This is aggregate-level — no personal identifiers, no tracking across sessions, no cookies tied to your identity.
Your email (optional)
If you enter your email to receive your report, that email is logged in Vercel function logs. If you opt in to our newsletter, it's added to Beehiiv. It is not stored in a user database and is not linked to your assessment results.
Trait scores sent to Claude API
When you generate the Meta-Analysis narrative, your personality trait scores are sent to Anthropic's Claude API to generate the written interpretation. No name, email, or identifier is included in this request. Anthropic's privacy policy governs how they handle API data.
Launch banner dismissal
If you dismiss the launch banner, that preference is stored in localStorage (your browser) — not a cookie, not on our servers.

🚫 3. What We Don't Collect

This is the part that matters most for a personality tool:

  • No database of user profiles or assessment history
  • No account creation — no username, password, or personal profile stored anywhere
  • No persistent tracking across sessions
  • No advertising pixels or third-party trackers
  • No IP address logging for profiling purposes
  • No selling or sharing of your data with third parties

Assessment data stays in your browser session. When you close the tab, it's gone unless you saved your share link.

🔗 4. How Share Links Work

Share links are designed to require zero database lookups. Your results are encoded directly into the URL using URL-safe base64 encoding.

When someone opens your share link, their browser decodes the results from the URL itself — no server call, no database query. The data lives in the link.

This means: if you share your results, anyone with the link can view them. If you don't share, no one can.

🎯 5. How We Use What We Do Collect

Analytics
Page view counts help us understand which assessments are popular and where users drop off. Used purely to improve the product.
Email
Used to send your report follow-up (if requested) and our newsletter (if you opted in). You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time via the link in any email.
Claude API call
Your scores are sent to generate the Meta-Analysis narrative. The output is returned to your browser. We don't log or store what was sent.

🔌 6. Third-Party Services

Depth Profile uses the following third-party services:

Vercel (hosting + analytics)
Our app is hosted on Vercel. They handle basic infrastructure. Vercel Analytics provides page-level aggregate data. Privacy policy: vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy
Anthropic / Claude API
Used to generate the Meta-Analysis narrative from your trait scores. Your scores (no personal identifiers) are sent to their API. Privacy policy: anthropic.com/legal/privacy
Beehiiv (newsletter)
If you subscribe to our newsletter, your email is added to our Beehiiv audience. You can unsubscribe at any time. Privacy policy: beehiiv.com/privacy

We do not use Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, or any advertising-related third-party tools.

⚖️ 7. Your Rights

Because we don't store your assessment data, most traditional "right to erasure" requests don't apply — there's nothing to delete on our end.

For what we do hold:

  • Newsletter: Unsubscribe at any time via any email we send.
  • Email from report delivery: Contact us at the address below and we'll remove it from our logs.
  • Browser data: Clear your browser's localStorage for depthprofile.com to remove any locally stored preferences.
