Last Updated: May 16, 2026
1. INTRODUCTION
These terms apply globally to users outside the EU/EEA. Where the mandatory local law of your country provides different protections, those provisions prevail.
Welcome to Innate Q ("we," "us," "our," or the "Company"). Innate Q is operated by Affect Group Inc. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our website located at innateq.ai and app.innateq.ai (the "Website"), our mobile applications (the "App"), and our services (collectively, the "Services").
PLEASE READ THIS PRIVACY POLICY CAREFULLY. BY ACCESSING OR USING OUR SERVICES, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY, PLEASE DO NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICES.
2. ABOUT OUR SERVICES
Innate Q provides AI-powered personality and talent analysis services based on birth data (date, time, and place of birth). Our Services include:
Talent Analysis: Calculation of 180 innate potentials based on over 150,000 parameters
AI Psychological Profiles: Generation of detailed personality profiles using artificial intelligence
AI Mentor: Personalized recommendations and insights based on your profile
Daily AI Insights: Personalized daily recommendations and guidance (subscription feature)
Compatibility Analysis: Comparison with friends via personal codes (with mutual consent)

2.1 Important Disclaimers
NATURE OF THE SERVICE: Our Services provide self-knowledge insights based on date, time, and place of birth. The AI-generated profiles, talent scores, and insights are intended to complement, not replace, the user's own judgment and consultation with qualified professionals. They are NOT a substitute for medical, psychological, legal, financial, or career counseling. Always consult qualified professionals for important life decisions.
2.2 Public Figure Demonstration Profiles
Innate Q may display demonstration profiles of public figures (celebrities, business leaders, historical figures, etc.) for illustrative purposes. These profiles are calculated algorithmically using publicly available birth date data from open sources (Wikipedia, public records, biographical databases).
The calculations are provided solely to demonstrate how the Service works. We make no claims regarding the accuracy of these profiles or their correspondence to any real person’s actual abilities or characteristics. The display of public figure profiles does not constitute advertising.
If you are a public figure or authorized representative and wish to have a demonstration profile removed, please contact us at support@innateq.ai.
3. INFORMATION WE COLLECT
3.1 Information You Provide
We collect information you voluntarily provide when using our Services:
Account Information: Email address, password, profile name
Birth Data: Date of birth, time of birth, place of birth — essential for talent calculations
AI Mentor Conversations: Messages and queries you send to the AI Mentor
Questionnaire and Essay Responses: Free-text answers you provide in personality questionnaires and self-reflection essays within the Service. These responses may contain personal information of any nature, including potentially sensitive data (health, beliefs, personal life), which you share voluntarily.
Rectification Questionnaire Responses: If you purchase Birth-Time Rectification, you provide structured responses to a questionnaire of significant life events (e.g., relationships, career changes, relocations, health events, family events). These responses may contain Sensitive Personal Information under the CCPA/CPRA (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.140(ae)), such as health information or information about religious or philosophical beliefs. We process these responses only on the basis of your explicit, informed consent given at the time of purchase, and only for the purpose of performing the rectification service. We will not use these responses to train AI models, for marketing, or for any other purpose without your separate consent.
Payment Information: Processed securely by third-party payment processors; we do not store full payment card details
Support Communications: Messages you send to our support team
Note on Names: We do not intentionally collect your full legal name. Your profile name may be a nickname or alias. Your real name may only appear if you voluntarily provide it in your profile, AI Mentor conversations, questionnaire responses, or support messages.

4. SENSITIVE PERSONAL DATA
The AI-generated psychological profiles may be considered sensitive personal data under certain privacy laws (such as GDPR). By using our Services, you explicitly consent to the processing of this data for the purposes described in this Policy.
Important: AI-generated profiles are algorithmic interpretations intended to support self-knowledge and personal reflection, and do not constitute actual psychological assessments or diagnoses.
4.1 Special Categories of Personal Data
Some Users may voluntarily provide special category personal data (as defined in GDPR Art. 9: data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership; genetic data, biometric data, data concerning health, data concerning a natural person's sex life or sexual orientation) in free-text fields such as questionnaire essays or AI Mentor conversations. We process such data ONLY with the User's explicit consent under Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR (or equivalent provision in CCPA/PDP), for the sole purpose of providing the personalized analysis the User has requested. Users may withdraw consent and request erasure at any time via support@innateq.ai.
4.2 Aggregated and Anonymized Data
We may process aggregated, anonymized data derived from User content (e.g., to improve our talent classification algorithm or to publish aggregate insights). Such aggregated data is not personal data under applicable privacy laws and is not subject to data subject rights. We ensure aggregated data cannot be re-identified.

Purpose of processing:
To deliver the requested resource (e.g., classification preview link).

15. CHILDREN’S PRIVACY AND PARENTAL CONSENT
Innate Q does not allow direct registration by users under 16 years of age. Parents or legal guardians may register on behalf of a minor, in which case:
- The parent or guardian acknowledges that they hold parental authority and consent to the processing of the minor's personal data
- The registration email and email-verification link confirm parental consent
- All rights and obligations under this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service apply to the parent or guardian acting on behalf of the minor
Parents and legal guardians may also use our Services to analyze birth data of their children of any age. By entering a child's birth data, the parent or guardian confirms they have the legal authority to provide this information and consent to its processing on behalf of the child.
If you believe a child under 16 has created an account without parental consent, please contact us at support@innateq.ai, and we will delete such account.
16. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be notified via email or through the Services. Your continued use of the Services after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically.
16A. TESTIMONIALS / USER STATEMENTS
The Innate Q website displays testimonials from real Users — including their names, photos, and statements. Each individual depicted has provided written consent (typically via email or messaging-platform exchange) authorizing use of their likeness and statement for marketing purposes. Consents are retained on file and may be revoked at any time by emailing support@innateq.ai; on revocation, the testimonial is removed within fourteen (14) days. This use is consistent with the right-of-publicity laws of the user's state of residence.
16B. PUBLIC-FIGURE COMPATIBILITY COMPARISON
The Innate Q App allows registered Users to compare their personal innate-talents profile against algorithmically-derived profiles of public figures (historical and contemporary celebrities, business leaders, scientists, artists, etc.). Public-figure profiles are computed from publicly-available biographical data (date and place of birth, available in open-source biographical databases — Wikipedia, public records, biographical encyclopedias, etc.). No biometric, sensitive, or non-public data of public figures is collected or processed. The User's own data is processed locally for the comparison and is not shared with any third party. This use is consistent with U.S. fair-use principles for public-domain biographical information.
