This version applies until October 22, 2026, when the version published on September 23, 2026 and revised on September 25, September 30, October 1, October 2, October 3, October 5, October 9, October 11, October 15 and October 20, 2026 takes effect. That version is at /privacy, and every version is listed on the policy history page.

October 9, 2026. To keep prompts out of your way, cookie choices stay in the footer without opening a banner for connections our host locates in the United States. Analytics that uses a visit ID stays off until you allow it. Seven anonymous step totals may run there before a cookie choice; elsewhere, or when the location is unknown, they wait for Analytics permission. The stored totals hold only a step name, a count and a one-minute period, with no cookie, ID or IP address. Our host still handles your IP address to deliver the request. Global Privacy Control, Do Not Track and a refusal stop these totals. The rules for referral and partner credit stay as they were. These changes apply when this update reaches the site. The other changes announced for October 22 keep that date. The policy text below remains as published.

Read the seven-step counts and the dated history.

We updated this policy on October 20, 2026. If our host locates your connection in the EEA, Switzerland or the United Kingdom, no cookie banner opens, as was already the case in the United States, to keep prompts out of your way. Your cookie choices are in Cookie settings, linked in the footer. Until you turn them on there, the site stores only what it needs to work, and Analytics and Marketing stay off, so no partner link, creator link or friend's shared link is remembered. In the United Kingdom the anonymous step totals run from the first page, as in the United States, and saving with Analytics off in Cookie settings stops them. When you arrive through a creator's link, WiredType sets one cookie of its own, wt_cl, for 30 days. It holds only the link's code, so checkout gives you the creator's offer. In the EEA, Switzerland and the United Kingdom it is set only if you allow Marketing. If you are in the EEA, Switzerland or the United Kingdom, we handle your answers and your result because you asked us to give you your result, which Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR and the UK GDPR allows. Section 2 of the current policy now describes both group maps: your private group map, which only you see, and the shared group map, which you join only if you choose to. These changes apply from October 20, 2026.

Read the cookie choices and the dated history.

Corrected September 23, 2026. We corrected four statements in this version on September 23, 2026. Each describes something we already did when this version was published. The text below is the version as published.

Stripe receives your WiredType account ID with each payment, and the ID of the partner who introduced you, if one did. This version said Stripe tells us only the email used at checkout and whether the payment went through.

To limit how many requests one connection can make, our server keeps a one-way hash of your IP address for 35 days. This version said our server functions use your IP address briefly.

Browserless, the service that used to draw share images, no longer receives anything from us. This version still named it among the services we share with.

Four statements in the September 17, 2026 version still describe what we do, and this version had left them out. When something you reported is fixed, the public changelog can thank you by first name, with a quote of up to 160 characters from your message, only if you checked the box to be thanked. The conversations in Messages on your account page stay until you delete your account. Download my data also gives you your Compare Together invitations and comparisons, your referral codes, your usage counts if you allowed them, and any screenshots you sent us. When you delete your account, your invitations and comparisons are deleted, and the other person can no longer open them.

Corrected September 25, 2026. We corrected one statement in this version on September 25, 2026. It describes the email as we send it now. The text below is the version as published.

When you use Email me this result, the email carries your free result: your type, your four scores with the date of the result when the page sends them, and the notes the result page shows. When we find the result you saved, the email's button is a personal link that opens that result on our site for 30 days, and until you save the result to an account, anyone who has the email can open it without signing in. Otherwise the button opens the free page for your type. This version said the email carries your type name, a short summary and a link to the free page for your type.

Corrected September 25, 2026. We corrected one statement in this version on September 25, 2026. The box below marked Changed September 25, 2026 said the Care Team decides refund requests, which was wrong. The text below is the version as published.

If you ask for a refund, the Care Team can give a refund our refund policy allows. It never turns a refund down. A person at WiredType decides any refund the Care Team cannot give and replies by email.

Corrected September 30, 2026. We corrected one statement in this version on September 30, 2026. This version left out recording for invited testers, which has been available since September 19, 2026 to people WiredType invited who say yes to a separate notice on the site. The statement below describes it and applies from the day we added it. The text below is the version as published.

Invited testers. If WiredType invited you to test the site, a notice on the site asks whether we may record your visits on that device, and we record nothing until you say yes. The recording holds the address of each page you open and of the WiredType page you came from, with any code, sign-in link or email address removed from it; the label of each button you tap (never the answers you choose); how long each step takes; how far you scroll; how far you get in the assessment and in signing up; whether you open your report or download its PDF; your browser and operating system; the size of your browser window; and any errors on the page, including errors in the code of the page that you would never see. It is linked to the invitation link we gave you to start testing. Once you use that link with your WiredType account, it is also linked to your account, and we look at it together with when you took your assessments and what you bought on that account. We use it only to find and fix problems on the site. It never records what you type, your passwords or your IP address. Our database provider, Supabase, stores it, and we delete it within 90 days. Your browser keeps your answer to the notice until you sign out or clear this site's data in your browser. Your answer to that notice alone decides whether recording runs, and your cookie banner settings do not change it. You can stop recording at any time with the "Stop recording my visits" button at the bottom of the screen. When you stop, we keep what was already recorded until we delete it, within 90 days or sooner if you ask. The recording is included in your data export, and we delete it when you delete your account or whenever you ask us at privacy@wiredtype.com. In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland our legal basis is your consent, which you can withdraw with that button. Under California law these are identifiers and internet activity, and we do not sell or share them.

Corrected October 1, 2026. We corrected one statement in this version on October 1, 2026. It said that turning off research participation stops research use of your data. It stops new research records, and the ones already recorded stay until you delete them. The text below is the version as published.

Turning off research participation on the same page stops new research records. To remove the ones already recorded, choose Delete my research data.

Corrected October 3, 2026. We corrected one statement in this version on October 3, 2026. Since September 16, 2026, when Analytics is on, where you came from can also be the name of an AI assistant that sent you, such as ChatGPT. The text below is the version as published.

Corrected October 3, 2026. We corrected one statement in this version on October 3, 2026. Since October 2, 2026, you can make a group link. The text below is the version as published.

Since October 2, 2026, you can also make a group link: one link you can post in a chat for many people. Each person who opens it, takes the free test and agrees gets their own comparison with you alone, the same way as a one-person link, and each of you sees the other's first name and type. A group link keeps working until you turn it off or replace it, and turning it off leaves comparisons already made open. The person who opens it needs no account. We email you at most once a day for each group link.

Corrected October 3, 2026. We corrected two statements in this version on October 3, 2026. Since October 2, 2026, a paid report's PDF prints links of your own for comparing with people you choose. The text below is the version as published.

Links printed in your report. When you download a Full, Essentials or Leadership report as a PDF, it prints five links of your own, each with a QR code, one for each circle: a friend, family, a partner, work and someone new. If your account has no first name, the PDF prints no links. These links belong to you and to the result your report is about. For each one we store your first name, the circle, which of your results it belongs to, a one-way code of the link, an encrypted copy so your report page can show it to you again, and when it was made and turned off. Anyone who scans or opens one sees your first name and, unless your card hides your type, your type, and can take the free test. To ask for a comparison, that person finishes the test and gives a first name. We hold their result with the request so the comparison is ready if you agree, and they see that the request is with you. We email you, at most once a day for each link, and the request waits for you in your comparisons. Until you answer, you see only the first name they gave and the circle, never their type, answers or scores. If you say yes, the comparison opens for both of you and works like the one above: each of you sees the other's first name and type, and neither sees the other's answers or scores. If you say no, we delete the request, and the person sees only that it is not open. Either of you can remove the request while it waits. Anyone who holds a copy of your PDF can use its links. If a copy reaches someone you did not mean to share it with, open your report at wiredtype.com and choose “Turn off my printed links and get new ones” under “Your first step”, or write to privacy@wiredtype.com. The old printed links stop working for anyone new. Requests already waiting stay for you to answer, comparisons already open stay open, and your next download prints the new links. Under California law the first names are identifiers and the types are inferences, and we do not sell or share them.

In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, our legal basis for links printed in a paid report is performance of our contract with the person who bought the report; for the first name and result of a person who asks for a comparison from a printed link, it is that person's consent, which they can withdraw by removing the request; and for opening that comparison, it is the consent of both people, given by the request and by the report owner's yes.

Corrected October 9, 2026. We corrected one statement in this version on October 9, 2026. The box below marked Changed October 3, 2026 said that pausing or replacing your card's link, or changing your card code, ends a comparison made through that link, which was wrong. The text below is the version as published.

A comparison made through your card's standing link does not end after 30 days. It lasts until either of you removes it or the result it depends on is deleted. Pausing or replacing the link, or changing your card code, stops new people from using it and leaves comparisons already made in place.

Corrected October 9, 2026. We corrected one statement in this version on October 9, 2026. The box below marked Changed October 3, 2026 said that before you connect with a card's owner you give your date of birth and must be 18 or older. Since October 5, 2026, you confirm instead that you are 16 or older. The text below is the version as published.

Before a person connects from a card, that person confirms they are 16 or older. We store the confirmation and its time, and never a birth date for this step. Before sharing contact details, a person gives their date of birth, unless they already passed that separate check, and must be 18 or older. A person who does not confirm they are 16 or older still sees their own result. No comparison opens, and nothing about them is shared or listed.

Corrected October 9, 2026. We corrected one statement in this version on October 9, 2026. A box below said that problem reports go into your history with us and are kept as it says. They are kept apart from that record. The text below is the version as published.

We keep a report until you delete your account, and Download my data includes it. Turning off Your history with us does not delete your reports. A report sent while signed out is kept until you ask us to delete it at privacy@wiredtype.com.

Added September 25, 2026. We added one statement to this version on September 25, 2026, when we added the Report a problem flag to the site header. It applies from that day. The policy text below this box is the version as published.

Report a problem. When you send a report from the flag in the header, we keep your message and, if you leave the box ticked, the page, step and heading you were on, your DISC type and plan, your browser's user-agent string, device, theme, screen size and recent page errors. We keep a screenshot or coach messages only if you add them. Reports go into your history with us and are kept as it says. In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland our legal basis is our legitimate interest in fixing what you reported; untick the box to send your message alone. Under California law these are identifiers, internet activity and inferences, and we do not sell or share them.

Added September 25, 2026. We added one statement to this version on September 25, 2026, when we added the rule on what a gift keeps after you delete your account. It applies from that day. The policy text below this box is the version as published.

Gifts. If we offered you a gift, then after you delete your account we keep only a coded form of your email address, which gift offer it was, and its dates (when we offered it, when it ends and when it was opened), so that each person gets each gift once. Anyone who already knows your address could match it to this code. In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland our legal basis is our legitimate interest in giving each gift once.

Changed September 25, 2026. From 5 PM US Eastern time on September 25, 2026, the WiredType Care Team, our AI support team, reads and answers email sent to a wiredtype.com address. For the Care Team, either OpenAI or Anthropic may process your email. Both state that they do not train their models on API data unless the customer opts in, and we have not opted in. This box says how the Care Team works until October 22, 2026. From that date the version at /privacy describes it in full. The policy text below this box is the version as published.

If you write without an account. If the address you write from has no WiredType account, the Care Team answers your email at once. It reads your email and our help and policy pages. In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland our legal basis is our legitimate interest in answering the email you sent us, or, when you ask about buying, the steps you ask us to take before a contract.

If you write with an account. If the address you write from has a WiredType account, the Care Team first asks whether you want it to answer, and it answers only after you reply yes. Until you do, a person at WiredType answers you. From your yes, the Care Team reads your email and the account details it needs to answer it, as the Care Team section of the October 22 version lists. This rests on your consent. Because the Care Team answers you only after your yes, nothing changes for you without your agreement before October 22, and we email account holders about that version at least 14 days before it takes effect, as section 11 says.

What a person still answers. Until October 22, 2026, a person at WiredType answers email to privacy@, security@ and legal@, requests about your data and legal notices, whether or not you have an account.

Replies, refunds and your choices. The Care Team usually replies within 60 minutes, at any hour, to email from people without an account and to account holders who have said yes. If a technical problem delays a reply, it answers as soon as the problem is fixed. A person at WiredType answers all other email, and we do not promise a time for a person's answer. If you ask for a refund, the Care Team decides it under our refund policy, and you can reply to its answer and ask a person at WiredType to review it. Every Care Team reply ends with one line saying that the Care Team is AI, that you can reply person to reach a person or reply stop to keep AI out of your emails, and where to read more: https://wiredtype.com/privacy#care-team. A stop stands until you reply yes again. When you reply stop, we keep your email address and that choice so we can honor it.

What we keep. If you have no account, we keep your email, the reply and the Care Team's notes for two years after your last message, or until you ask us to erase them. If you have an account, we keep them until you delete your account or ask us to erase them, and never longer than two years after your last message. Under California law these are identifiers, commercial information (your purchases, refunds and credits) and inferences (the Care Team's notes on your message). We use them to answer you and to keep a record of what we did, and we do not sell or share them.

Changed October 15, 2026. On October 15, 2026, WiredType LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company, took over running WiredType and the records of the business that ran it before. WiredType LLC continues the service and is responsible for your personal data. Your consents and choices carry over unchanged, and you do not need to do anything. If you want to withdraw any of them, write to privacy@wiredtype.com at any time, or use your account page if you have one. Nothing else in this version changes. The policy text below this box is the version as published.

Section 1, Who we are. WiredType is run by WiredType LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company. WiredType LLC is the controller of your personal data under the GDPR and UK GDPR, and the business responsible for it under US state privacy laws. Throughout this policy, "we," "us," and "our" refer to WiredType. Our mailing address is WiredType LLC, PMB 1244, 111 Town Square Place, Suite 1201, Jersey City, NJ 07310, United States. Our registered office, where the company is established, is at 971 US Highway 202N, Ste N, Branchburg, NJ 08876, United States. To reach us about your privacy, write to privacy@wiredtype.com.

Changed October 2, 2026. We changed the Portraits for your card part of section 2 of this version on October 2, 2026, when portraits started to keep drawing after you leave the page. It applies from that day. That part of section 2 now reads as the paragraph below, and the retention list in section 7 says the same. The policy text below this box is the version as published.

Portraits for your card. Every portrait we finish drawing is saved in Your photos at once, even if you leave the page while it is drawn. We delete the photo within a day of starting, or as soon as you press Start again with new choices. The portraits in Your photos stay until you delete them, you delete your account, or the person in a portrait asks us to remove it. If you ask us to email you when your portraits are ready, or when the photo service is working again, we keep that request until the email is sent.

Changed September 25, 2026. We added one statement to this version on September 25, 2026, when we let a portrait for your card be made from a photo of someone other than you. It applies from that day. The policy text below this box is the version as published.

Portraits for your card. The photo you give for a portrait may be one photo of yourself or of someone who agreed to let you use it. We use it only to draw the portraits and never to recognize or identify anyone. We send the photo, your choices and the detail to OpenAI, which draws four portraits from them. We store the photo and the portraits with our host, Netlify. We delete the photo and every portrait you do not keep when you leave the page, or within a day at most. A portrait the member keeps stays in their account until they remove it, they delete their account, or the person in it asks us to remove it. OpenAI keeps what it receives for up to 30 days to check for abuse and does not use it to train its models. If the photo shows someone else, we rely on our legitimate interest in making the portrait you asked for, and on your promise that the person agreed. If you are in a portrait you did not agree to, write to privacy@wiredtype.com and we will remove it, usually within two business days.

Changed September 25, 2026. We changed the Teams part of section 2 of this version on September 25, 2026, when we let each team member choose whether the admins can download their full report. The change only adds to your rights and applies from that day. The Teams paragraph in section 2 now reads as the three paragraphs below, and the retention list in section 7 gains one line. The policy text below this box is the version as published.

If you join a team on WiredType, the people who run that team (the admins) can see your name, your email address, the date you joined, your DISC type and your four scores, and the team-facing tips built from them. Your answers to individual questions stay private. Before you join, the invitation page shows you exactly what the admins will see.

The admins can download your full report only if you check the box that allows it. The box starts unchecked, and leaving it unchecked changes nothing about your place on the team. You can uncheck it on your team page at any time; we then delete the team's stored exports, and a copy an admin already saved stays with that admin. We rely on your consent for this (GDPR Article 6(1)(a)).

You can leave a team at any time from your team page. Leaving removes you from the team's dashboard and deletes your pair reports, your interactions and your situation records for that team. You keep your own report. Until the team is deleted, we keep a record that you were a member and the date you left.

Retention. Team PDF exports: an admin can download an export for 24 hours after it is made, and we delete the stored exports when a member stops sharing, leaves or is removed.

Changed September 30, 2026. We changed the Teams part of section 2 of this version on September 30, 2026, when we let a team name a manager for each person. The change applies only to people who join a team after it was published, and to people who joined earlier and then say yes on their team page. The first Teams paragraph in section 2 now reads as the two paragraphs below. The policy text below this box is the version as published.

If you join a team on WiredType, the people who run that team (the admins) can see your name, your email address, the date you joined, your DISC type and your four scores, and the team-facing tips built from them. No one on the team sees your answers to individual questions. Before you join, the invitation page shows you exactly what the admins, and your manager if the invite names one, will see.

If an admin names a manager for you on the team, that manager sees your name, your DISC type, your four scores and the tips built from them, so they can learn how to work well with you. Unless your manager is also one of the team's admins, your manager never sees your email address and cannot download your full report, even if you let the admins download it. No one on the team sees your answers. If a manager who is not an admin is named after you join, we tell you who it is and what they will see by email, or on your team page if the email does not arrive, and they see nothing until 24 hours after you were told. If you joined your team before WiredType let teams name managers, your manager sees nothing unless you say yes on your team page. You can turn this off at any time on your team page with the switch labeled “Show my type and scores to my manager,” and nothing else about your place on the team changes. When an admin removes or changes your manager, the previous manager loses the view at once. If you are in the EEA, the UK or Switzerland, our legal basis is our legitimate interest, and the team's, in helping managers work well with their people (GDPR Article 6(1)(f)); turning the switch off is your objection under Article 21. Under California law, your type and scores are inferences, and we disclose them only to the admins and the manager of the team you joined.

Changed September 30, 2026. We added one statement to this version on September 30, 2026, when a shared free result began to name the person who shared it. It applies to shares made from that day. The policy text below this box is the version as published.

Share links and cards. When you share a free result, the link and its preview image carry your first name and your type, for example wiredtype.com/s/D/-/Robin. When you share, we also keep the first name you typed with your link's code, so the shared page and its preview show your name and the type from your saved result, and nobody can change either by editing the link. If you have an account, the name comes from your profile instead. Our own server draws that image, and our host keeps a copy for up to a day so the link previews quickly wherever you post it. We delete that name after 12 months, or sooner when you delete your free result or your account, and we ask our host to remove its copies. Anyone who has the link can see the name and type. The share page asks search engines not to list it.

Changed October 1, 2026. We changed the box marked Changed September 25, 2026 on October 1, 2026, when the Care Team began to answer email from an address with a WiredType account at once. From that day, its paragraphs If you write with an account and Replies, refunds and your choices read as the two paragraphs below. The policy text below this box is the version as published.

If you write with an account. From October 1, 2026, if the address you write from has a WiredType account, the Care Team answers your email at once. This includes an email you sent before October 1 that was waiting for your yes, unless a person at WiredType already answered it or you replied “person” or “stop”. The Care Team reads your email and the account details it needs to answer it, as the Care Team section of the October 22 version lists. In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland our legal basis is performance of our contract with you, or our legitimate interest in answering the email you sent us when it is not about our service to you. From September 25 until October 1, 2026, the Care Team first asked whether you wanted it to answer and answered only after you replied yes, and that rested on your consent. You can reply with the word “stop” to any email from the Care Team, and a person at WiredType answers you from then on.

Replies, refunds and your choices. The Care Team usually replies within 60 minutes, at any hour. If a technical problem delays a reply, it answers as soon as the problem is fixed. A person at WiredType answers all other email, and we do not promise a time for a person's answer. If you ask for a refund, the Care Team can give a refund our refund policy allows. It never turns a refund down. A person at WiredType decides any refund the Care Team cannot give and replies by email. Every Care Team reply ends with one line saying that the Care Team is AI and, unless a person at WiredType already has your case, that you can reply with the word “person” to have a person answer you, which takes longer. You can also reply with the word “stop” to any email from the Care Team, and from then on only people at WiredType read and answer your emails, until you write to us that the Care Team may answer you again. When you reply stop, we keep your email address and that choice so we can honor it.

Changed October 1, 2026. We added two statements to this version on October 1, 2026, when Scout began to offer, in the same reply, to send a problem you mention in the chat to WiredType as a report. They apply from that day. The policy text below this box is the version as published.

Report a problem. When Scout offers to send a problem you mention in the chat and you press Send, we keep your last message, Scout's answer and the page you were on, and nothing else from the conversation.

Counts of Scout's offers to send a problem: a number for each minute, with no words and nothing that names you, kept 14 days.

Changed October 2, 2026. We added two statements to this version on October 2, 2026, when you could first make a private link from your free result to compare with one person you name. They apply from that day. The policy text below this box is the version as published.

Comparing from your free result. After a free result, you can make a private link for one person you name. We store your first name, the first name you give that person, the kind of relationship you pick (someone you work with, someone close to you, or someone you would like to understand better), which of your results the link belongs to, a one-way code of the link, and when the link was made, shared, opened and used. We do not store that person's email address or phone number, and WiredType never contacts them: you send the link yourself. Anyone who opens the link sees your first name, your type unless your card hides it, and the first name you gave them. If your card is set to hide your type, the link, its landing page and its preview show your first name without your type. Your type then appears only inside a comparison the other person opens, because a comparison needs both types. A preview our servers made before you hid your type can still show it for up to 15 minutes, and a chat app that already showed the preview may keep its own copy. When that person finishes the free test, they choose whether to open the comparison. Only if they do, we connect their result to yours, and each of you sees the other's first name and type and the comparison written from your two types; neither of you sees the other's answers or scores. If your result is saved to an account, we email you once when the comparison opens. Either of you can remove it at any time, and then we delete it and neither of you can open it again. A link nobody used stops working after 30 days, and we delete it 30 days later. When you delete your free result or your account, we delete your links; when the other person deletes their result, the comparison ends. If someone named you in a link, we hold only the first name they typed and nothing else about you until you choose to open the comparison; to have it removed, write to privacy@wiredtype.com. If you already have a result, you can connect with one tap on the link. You can choose to share your first name and style with each new person without seeing the full list again. You still tap to connect each time. Turn the choice off at any time and it stops at once. If you are signed in, we save it on your account. Otherwise it stays in your browser.

Comparison links from a free result: a link nobody used, deleted 30 days after it stops working; a removed comparison, deleted right away; otherwise kept as long as both results are. Counts of steps in that flow hold no link, name or account and are kept 400 days.

Changed October 2, 2026. We added a statement to this version on October 2, 2026, when you could first make a “how we click” card with someone you compared with. It applies from that day. The policy text below this box is the version as published.

The “how we click” card. After a comparison opens, either of you can ask for a public “how we click” card. It shows your two first names, your two styles and one line about each style from our public type pages. It shows no answers and no scores. Anyone with its link can see it and can tell that you both used WiredType. It goes up only after both of you say yes. Either of you can take it down at any time, and it also comes down when the comparison is removed or either result is deleted. When it comes down, we clear our host’s copies. Apps where the link was already posted may keep their own preview of it. A new card gets a new link. Search engines are asked not to list it.

If your card is set to hide your type, the link, its landing page and its preview show your first name without your type. Your type then appears only inside a comparison the other person opens, because a comparison needs both types. A preview our servers made before you hid your type can still show it for up to 15 minutes, and a chat app that already showed the preview may keep its own copy.

Your card. A public card shows your name to anyone with its link or code, and only the other details you switch on: email, phone, website, LinkedIn, company, role, photo, the approach line you pick, and your type. If you turn your type on and choose "Show my real pattern", your public card also includes your D, I, S and C scores rounded to the nearest 5, and anyone with your card link or QR code can read them. With the standard type bands, your public card includes no scores. You can switch it off at any time, which removes the scores from your card, although a copy someone already saved may remain. Your name can be a display name, such as your first name alone. Each detail has its own switch beside it in the card editor, and the preview shows what the public sees. A company, role or photo shows only once you add it, and you can switch it off at any time. A card made before these switches existed keeps showing the company, role and photo it already showed until you switch them off. The contact file a person saves carries the details switched on when they save it, and a file already saved on a phone does not change later. When someone opens your card, you see only a count of openings, and the count does not record who opened it. Our host's request logs, described in section 4, still record each visit. You can also share more with one person you are connected with. That person sees those extra details only when signed in, and no other WiredType user sees them. You can also choose to share the same details with each new connection automatically, and you can change or stop that at any time. When someone shares their details back on your card, they choose each one: their name, and if they wish their email, phone, website, company, role, photo and type. You receive only what they switch on. The comparison still shows each connected person's type; the type switch here covers the contact details only. We email you to say they shared, and the email does not contain the details. Details they type never replace a phone number or company you already saved for them. We email them your card, and one reminder, only if they give an email address and ask for those emails. Either of you can switch a detail off at any time, and it leaves the other person's view and their next contact file. A switch cannot recall a contact already saved to a phone or an email already delivered. Before a person shares details or connects from a card, that person gives their date of birth, unless they already did on WiredType, and must be 18 or older. A person who is under 18, or who does not give it, still sees their own result. No comparison opens, and nothing about them is shared or listed.

Your card's link can also open the free test. That link is a standing link: many people can use it, and it keeps working until you pause it, replace it or change your card code. A person who takes the test from your card needs no account. We keep their result on our servers under a random session ID stored in their browser, as section 5 describes. If that person finishes and agrees to connect, we connect the two of you under the rules for your list below, and each of you then sees the other's first name and type and the comparison. If your card hides your type, the comparison opens only once you have agreed to the connection. We email you at most once a day for each link about the people who finished that day. If they never save their result to an account, it is deleted on the schedule in section 7, and with it their place in your list and any details they shared.

A comparison made through your card's standing link does not end after 30 days. It lasts until you pause or replace the link, change your card code, either of you removes it, or the result it depends on is deleted. When a result without an account is deleted, its comparisons, its place in your list and any details shared with it are deleted too.

When someone takes the test from your card, opens the comparison and agrees to be connected, and you have agreed as well, they appear in your list with their first name, their type, the comparison and a note that they came through your card. You agree by turning on "Add people who take the test from my card to my people", which starts off, or by adding each person yourself. If they have a WiredType account, or save their result to one later, you also appear in their list once both of you have agreed, and we email them once to say so. We do not connect two people while either has blocked the other, or for 7 days after either declined. If you remove a person, we do not add them from your card again until you add them yourself.

For connecting a card owner with a person who takes the test from the card: the owner's consent, given by turning on "Add people who take the test from my card to my people" or by adding that person, which the owner can withdraw by turning the setting off or removing the person; and the other person's consent, given on the consent panel, which they can withdraw by removing the connection.

On a card, before you share your details or connect with the card's owner, you give your date of birth, unless you already gave it on WiredType, and we keep only that you passed and when. We keep that for as long as we keep the share or connection, and we delete it with them. We keep it to show that people who share on a card are adults.

If you share your details on someone's card without a WiredType account, we show you a private link to change or remove those details, and we email that same link to you if you gave an email address. We keep a code that lets us recognize the link. The link itself stays with us only until its email is sent, and then we delete it. Anyone who has the link can change or remove what you shared, so keep the link, and the email that carries it, to yourself. If you lose it, email privacy@wiredtype.com and tell us whose card it was and what you shared. If that matches a share we hold, we remove the details you shared on that card within 15 days.

Either of you can remove the other at any time, from your list or, without an account, from your result page. Removing ends the comparison for both of you, deletes the place in each other's lists that came from the card, deletes the details each of you shared with the other, and cancels any email still waiting to go between you. Neither of you is told by email. A contact you had saved before the card stays in your list, without the comparison or the shared details. Removing does not erase a contact already saved on a phone or an email already delivered. If you turn off your card's link, people already connected stay connected until one of you removes the other.

A comparison or a connection: when either person removes it, the comparison, the list entries that came with it and the details shared between the two people are deleted for both right away. Database backups hold a copy for 7 days, as this section says. A contact saved before the card, a contact saved on a phone and an email already delivered stay where they are.

Download my data also includes your card's connection settings, the people you connected with through a card, the details you shared with each of them and the details each of them shared with you.

Your file includes the values each of those people shared with you, such as an email or phone, and names each of them by the first name they used. It never includes a private note another person wrote about you. To ask for anything else we hold about you, write to privacy@wiredtype.com.

Anyone who scans or opens one sees your first name and, unless your card hides your type, your type, and can take the free test.

Links printed in a paid report: a link you turned off, deleted 30 days later; a request from a printed link that you have not answered, deleted 30 days after it was made; a request you decline, deleted right away; otherwise kept as long as the result they belong to. Deleting the result or your account deletes them at once.

Links printed in a paid report: a turned-off link or an unanswered request, 30 days; otherwise as long as the result.

Changed October 10, 2026. We changed these statements in this version on October 10, 2026. They apply from that day. The policy text below this box is the version as published.

We count anonymous steps people reach on the site, such as starting and finishing the test, viewing a result or an offer, sharing, and opening checkout, to understand how the site is used and where people get stuck. Each stored total holds only a step name, a count and a one-minute period, with no ID and nothing that identifies you. For connections our host places in the United States, counting can run before you make a cookie choice. Elsewhere, including when the location is unknown, it waits for Analytics permission. Global Privacy Control, Do Not Track, Reject non-essential, or saving with Analytics off stops these counts.

When you finish the 28-question assessment and you have comparisons with other people, we ask you once whether those comparisons may use your new result. If you say yes, each person you compare with sees your updated type and the deeper guidance about you, which is drawn from the 28 questions, and your scores only where you chose to show them. If you say no, or leave without answering, your comparisons keep the result you shared. You can change a yes later in Settings or on Together.

If you and the person you compare with have both turned on Analytics, we record when the deeper guidance in your comparison first opens and whether either of you later takes the 28-question assessment. We use that record only to learn whether the guidance helps. It is part of Download my data, and we delete it when either of you removes the comparison, turns Analytics off or deletes the account, and within 400 days in every case.

Changed October 3, 2026. You can choose to appear on a group map and save your choice about sharing your style with new connections.

Group maps. WiredType has two kinds of group map. Your private group map appears once 3 people have opened a comparison with you from your group link or card. It shows the first name and style of each person who opened one, in one picture, and only you see it. When you open a comparison from someone's group link or card, your first name and style also appear on that person's private group map, which only that person sees. The shared group map is separate. If your comparison came from someone's group link or card, you can choose to appear on the shared group map for that link, and you appear there only if you choose to. Everyone who also chooses to appear on it sees your first name and your style, and you see theirs. Neither map shows answers or scores. You leave the shared group map as soon as you turn it off or the comparison ends.
