Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 26, 2026

1. Introduction

Jivaseva OÜ (operating under the brand name "Typeza") operates the Typeza personality typing platform at typeza.ai. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our service. Jivaseva OÜ is a company registered in Estonia with registration number 12142627.

By creating an account or using Typeza, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, please do not use our service. This Privacy Policy is incorporated into and forms part of our Terms of Service.

We reserve the right to make changes to this Privacy Policy at any time and for any reason. We will alert you about any changes by updating the "Last updated" date of this Privacy Policy. You are encouraged to periodically review this Privacy Policy to stay informed of updates.

2. General Information About Our Service

Typeza provides AI-powered personality typing based on socionics theory. We want you to understand the nature of our data processing:

No sensitive information processing: We do not collect or process sensitive personal information such as health data, racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, or biometric data for identification purposes.
Non-invasive questions: Our interview questions are designed to be general and conversational. They focus on everyday preferences, communication styles, and thinking patterns, not personal or private matters.
Speech pattern analysis: Our AI analyzes how you express yourself (linguistic patterns, sentence structure, word choice) rather than the specific content of what you say. This helps determine cognitive preferences without requiring you to share sensitive information.
For EU users: Our personality typing results are provided for informational and entertainment purposes only. They do not produce legal effects concerning you and do not significantly affect you within the meaning of GDPR Article 22.
Confidentiality: Your responses and personality type results are strictly confidential and are never shared publicly without your explicit consent.

We may disclose your personal information in the following situations:

Service Providers

These providers are contractually obligated to use your data only for the purposes we specify and to maintain appropriate security measures.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid legal requests, including court orders, subpoenas, or government regulations. We will notify you of such requests unless prohibited by law.

Business Transfers

If Jivaseva OÜ is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you via email and/or prominent notice on our service of any change in ownership or uses of your personal information.

With Your Consent

We may share your information for any other purpose with your explicit consent.

Sharing Features

If you use our sharing features to share your results with other users, the shared data will be visible to those users according to the sharing settings you select.

8. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services to operate Typeza. Each provider has their own privacy policy governing their use of your data:

Payment Processing

Stripe

Handles all payment processing. We do not store your credit card details: they go directly to Stripe's secure servers.

Transcription

Soniox

Provides real-time speech-to-text transcription. Audio is streamed for processing and is not stored by Soniox or us.

AI Analysis

OpenRouter

Routes AI requests to multiple models including Claude (Anthropic), GPT (OpenAI), Gemini (Google), DeepSeek, and Qwen. Your transcriptions are sent to these models for personality analysis.

Email

Loops

Handles transactional and marketing email delivery.

Analytics

PostHog

Product analytics, to understand which features are used and where people get stuck. Hosted in the European Union. It records only the events we have chosen to record, does not record your screen, and is never sent your email address.

Basic usage statistics are collected for all users: which screens and features are used, together with the technical information described in section 5.4 (IP-derived country and city, device type, language). After you sign in, this activity is linked to your account ID. This processing stores nothing on your device and reads nothing from it. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in understanding and improving the service (Art. 6(1)(f)), and you may object at any time by contacting us (section 21).

With your consent, we additionally store a random identifier in your browser or app storage, so repeat visits count as one person even before you sign in. You can withdraw this at any time in cookie preferences.

Authentication

Google, Apple, Facebook OAuth

Optional social login providers. When you sign in with these services, we receive your basic profile information (name, email, profile picture) according to the permissions you grant.

9. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to collect and store information about your interaction with our service.

Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies (Always Active)

Required for the service to function. Include authentication tokens, session management, and security features. Cannot be disabled.

Preference Cookies

Remember your settings and preferences, such as language and display options.

Analytics Cookies (With Consent)

Help us understand how visitors interact with Typeza. Used by PostHog, which stores its identifier in browser storage rather than a cookie.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You can manage your cookie preferences through our cookie consent banner when you first visit the site, or at any time through your account settings. You can also control cookies through your browser settings, though this may affect the functionality of our service.

Global Privacy Control (GPC)

We recognize and honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals. If your browser sends a GPC signal, we will treat this as a request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information and will disable non-essential cookies accordingly.

10. Do We Sell Your Information?

No, we do not sell your personal information. We have not sold personal information in the preceding 12 months and have no plans to do so. We do not engage in the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information as defined by the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) or other similar state privacy laws.

11. Data Security & International Transfers

Security Measures

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data, including:

Encryption of data in transit (TLS/SSL) and at rest
Secure password hashing using industry-standard algorithms
Regular security reviews and vulnerability assessments
Access controls and authentication requirements
Employee training on data protection

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

International Data Transfers

Jivaseva OÜ is based in Estonia (European Union). Your data may be processed in countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA), including the United States, where our third-party service providers operate (e.g., Stripe, OpenRouter, cloud infrastructure providers).

Safeguards for International Transfers

For EU users: When we transfer data outside the EEA, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, including:

Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission
Adequacy decisions by the European Commission for certain countries
Binding Corporate Rules where applicable

For UK users: We use the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) and UK Addendum to the EU SCCs as appropriate to ensure your data is protected when transferred internationally.

12. Data Retention

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected:

Audio recordings

We will verify your identity before processing your request. We may ask you to provide additional information to help us verify your identity. We will respond to your request within the timeframes required by applicable law (typically 30 days for GDPR, 45 days for CCPA).

14. Appealing Decisions

If we decline to take action on your privacy rights request, you have the right to appeal our decision. To appeal, please email us at hello@typeza.ai with "Privacy Appeal" in the subject line, explaining why you believe our decision was incorrect.

We will respond to your appeal within 45 days (or the timeframe required by your jurisdiction's law). If your appeal is denied, you will be informed of your right to contact your local data protection authority or attorney general.

15. Children's Privacy

Typeza is not intended for users under 16 years of age (or 13 years of age in the United States, as governed by COPPA). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under these ages.

If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under the applicable age, we will take steps to delete that information as quickly as possible.

If you believe that we may have collected information from a child under the applicable age, please contact us immediately at hello@typeza.ai.

Political opinions
Religious or philosophical beliefs
Trade union membership
Genetic or biometric data for identification purposes
Health data
Sex life or sexual orientation
Social Security number, driver's license, or passport number
Precise geolocation

Our personality typing questions are designed to avoid eliciting sensitive information. If you voluntarily include sensitive information in your responses, we recommend against this, and we will not use such information for any purpose other than the standard personality analysis.

17. Financial Incentives

We do not offer financial incentives, price differences, or service differences in exchange for the collection, retention, sale, or deletion of personal information. Any promotional offers or discounts we provide are not conditioned on you providing additional personal information beyond what is necessary for the promotion.

18. Do Not Track (DNT) Signals

Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems include a Do Not Track (DNT) feature. Because there is no accepted standard for how to respond to DNT signals, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals.

However, we do recognize and honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals as described in Section 9. You can control optional analytics cookies at any time through our cookie preference settings.
