Privacy policy

Last updated: July 21, 2026

The short version

  • Your answers to every tool and self-check stay on your device. They are never transmitted to us or anyone else.
  • We use privacy-gated analytics only after you consent via the cookie banner.
  • If you subscribe to our newsletter or contact us, we use your email only for that purpose, with double opt-in and one-click unsubscribe.

Tool data stays in your browser

This is a static website. When you complete a self-check, calculator, or exercise, the computation happens in your browser using JavaScript, and results are stored (if at all) in your browser's local storage under keys beginning with tbp.. We operate no server that receives this data. You can clear it at any time from your browser settings or the tools' own "clear history" controls, and export it as a file that is yours to keep.

Analytics and cookies

With your consent (via the cookie banner), we use Google Analytics 4 and Microsoft Clarity to understand which pages are used and how the site performs. These load only after consent, and never receive your tool answers. Declining consent disables them entirely; every tool still works.

Newsletter and contact

If you subscribe, we send a confirmation email first (double opt-in) and store only your email address, confirmation status, and signup source, on infrastructure operated by Cosys Labs. Every email includes an unsubscribe link. If you contact us, we keep your message and contact details only as long as needed to respond.

Advertising

If advertising is enabled on some pages, ad scripts load only after consent and are never placed inside tools, on assessment results, or on crisis-related content.

Your rights

Depending on your location (including under GDPR and CCPA), you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold (which, given the design above, is at most your newsletter or contact details). Email [email protected] and we'll act on it.
