Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy governs the manner in which 16typology.com ("we," "us," or "the website") collects, processes, and protects personal information obtained from users during their use of the website. This policy is intended to comply with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for visitors located in the European Economic Area, as well as other applicable data protection laws.

1. Data Controller

The data controller responsible for your personal information is the operator of 16typology.com. For any questions regarding this policy or your personal data, you can contact us at: 16typology@gmail.com.

2. Data We Collect

We value your privacy and limit data collection to a minimum. Our website may automatically collect anonymous technical data:

  • Cookies and similar technologies to save interface preferences (such as your chosen language) and, where applicable, your cookie consent choices;
  • IP address, browser type, device type, and operating system;
  • Anonymized website activity statistics (test completion time, page popularity) via third-party analytics services such as Google Analytics;
  • Test responses you submit are processed temporarily in your browser to generate a result and are not linked to your identity.

3. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

For visitors in the European Economic Area, we process personal data on the following legal bases:

  • Consent — for non-essential cookies, analytics, and personalized advertising, collected via our cookie consent banner before such technologies are activated;
  • Legitimate interest — for strictly necessary cookies required for basic website functionality and security.

4. Cookie Consent

When you first visit our website, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner allowing you to accept or decline non-essential cookies, including those used for analytics and advertising. Non-essential cookies are not activated until you provide consent. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by clearing your browser cookies or adjusting the consent settings provided on the website.

5. Purpose of Data Processing

The collected technical information is used exclusively to:

  • Ensure the correct and fast performance of the website interface;
  • Analyze website traffic and optimize testing algorithms;
  • Display relevant advertisements through third-party advertising networks, where consent has been given.

6. Third-Party Services and Advertising

The website may integrate third-party analytics systems and advertising blocks, including Google Analytics and Google AdSense. These providers may use their own cookies to collect information about your visits to this and other websites in order to deliver targeted advertisements and measure performance. We do not have direct access to, or control over, this data. You can review Google's data practices and adjust your ad personalization settings at https://adssettings.google.com, and learn more about how Google uses data at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

7. Data Retention

We do not store your test answers or results on our servers after your session ends. Technical and analytics data collected by third-party services is retained according to the retention periods set by those providers (typically up to 14 months for Google Analytics by default).

8. International Data Transfers

Some third-party providers we use, such as Google, may process and store data on servers located outside the European Economic Area, including in the United States. Where this occurs, such providers rely on recognized safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses, to ensure an adequate level of data protection.

  • Request access to the personal data we hold about you;
  • Request correction of inaccurate personal data;
  • Request deletion of your personal data;
  • Object to or request restriction of certain processing;
  • Withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing;
  • Lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority.
