Privacy Policy

Last updated: · Applies to cognitiontype.com and all associated services

Short version: We collect only what we need to deliver your report and improve the service. We do not sell your data. We do not run ads using your data. Quiz responses are processed to generate your report and are not stored linked to your identity.

1. Who we are

CognitionType is operated by a Singapore-registered private limited company. For the purposes of the Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (PDPA), we are the organisation responsible for personal data in our possession or under our control. For users in the European Economic Area or UK, we also comply with GDPR as a data controller. Contact: support@cognitiontype.com

2. What we collect and why

Quiz responses
Your answers are processed in your browser to calculate dimension scores. We do not store your individual question responses — only the resulting scores, which are used to generate your report.

Payment information
Payment is handled by a third-party processor. We do not receive or store your card number or full payment details. We receive confirmation that payment was successful, and your email address if provided during checkout.

Analytics
We record anonymised usage events (e.g. quiz started, report viewed) via Vercel Web Analytics to improve the service. This is cookieless and privacy-first: events contain no IP address, no persistent identifiers, no device fingerprints, and no cross-site tracking — so no cookie consent is required. Aggregated analytics are retained by our analytics provider per its standard retention; we keep no raw event log ourselves.

3. Legal basis for processing

Under Singapore PDPA: We collect, use, and disclose personal data only with your consent, or where permitted by law (e.g. to fulfil the contract to deliver your report, or to comply with legal obligations). You may withdraw consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions.

For EEA/UK users (GDPR Art. 6): Contract performance (delivering your paid report), legitimate interests (anonymised, cookieless analytics — Art. 6(1)(f)), and legal obligation (tax record retention).

4. Who we share data with

We use third-party service providers for payment processing, hosting, analytics, and email delivery. These providers process data only on our behalf and in accordance with their own privacy policies.

We do not sell, rent, or share your data with advertisers, data brokers, or any third party for marketing purposes.

5. Affiliate links and tracking

The report contains affiliate links to third-party products. When you click an affiliate link, the destination site's privacy policy applies. We may receive a commission if you make a purchase — this does not affect the price you pay.

6. The nature of the assessment

CognitionType is a cognitive style assessment for informational purposes only. It is not a medical device, clinical evaluation, or diagnostic tool. We do not infer, store, or share any clinical or health conclusions about you.

7. Your data rights

Singapore (PDPA): You have the right to request access to and correction of personal data we hold about you. Contact us at support@cognitiontype.com.

EEA/UK users (GDPR): You additionally have the right to:

To exercise any right, contact support@cognitiontype.com. We respond within 30 days. If unsatisfied with our response, Singapore users may contact the Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC) at pdpc.gov.sg. EEA users may lodge a complaint with their national supervisory authority. UK users may contact the ICO.

8. Data retention

9. Cookies

We do not use cookies for tracking or advertising. Our analytics provider (Vercel Web Analytics) is cookieless. We use first-party browser storage only for functional purposes — your quiz state and report access during your visit — not for tracking.

10. Children

This service is intended for adults (18+). We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has submitted a response, contact us for immediate deletion.

11. Changes

We will post any material changes to this page with an updated date. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance.

12. Governing law & contact

This Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of Singapore. Disputes are subject to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Singapore courts, without prejudice to your rights under applicable local consumer protection law.
