How EQ4AI uses your information
Draft, November 2026
This policy explains what information EQ4AI collects when you use this website and take the EQ4AI self-reflection assessment, how it’s used and the choices you have. In short: we collect your email address and your answers, we use them to give you your results, and we never sell your data or use it for marketing.
Who we are
EQ4AI is run by Kat So, a sole trader trading as EQ4AI. Kat is the data controller for the information described here, which means she decides how it is used and is responsible for protecting it.

What we collect
- Your email address, which you give us when you take the assessment.
- Your answers to the 36 assessment statements, and the results generated from them.
- Basic technical information that our hosting provider records automatically when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type and the time of your visit.
The assessment doesn’t ask for your name, employer or job title. If you book a call with us, we also collect the details you give when booking, such as your name, email address, organisation and what you’d like to discuss. Please don’t include any sensitive personal information in free-text fields.
How we use it
| Purpose | Information used | Lawful basis |
|---|---|---|
| To generate your results and send them to you | Email address, answers | Legitimate interests: providing the assessment you asked for |
| To produce anonymised group results when your employer runs the assessment with your team | Answers only, with email removed | Legitimate interests: supporting your organisation’s team development |
| To review and improve the assessment | Anonymised answers only | Legitimate interests: maintaining a reliable, useful tool |
| To arrange and prepare for a call you book | Booking details | Taking steps at your request before any agreement |
| To keep the website secure and working | Technical information | Legitimate interests: running the website |
We will only use your assessment email address to give you your results. We won’t send you marketing or add you to a mailing list.
Who can see your information
- Kat So is the only person who can see individual responses with email addresses attached.
- Dr Leigh Morris, Chartered Psychologist and co-creator of the assessment, may see anonymised responses (with email addresses removed) to help review and improve the tool.
- Employers. If your organisation asked you to take the assessment, they will only ever see anonymised, combined results for a group. They will never see your individual answers or results. Group results are only shared where enough people have taken part that no individual can be identified.
- Service providers. Our website and assessment are hosted by Netlify, Inc., which stores your responses on our behalf. Call bookings are handled by Calendly LLC. Both are based in the United States, so your information may be transferred outside the UK. To be added
We never sell or rent your information.
How long we keep it
We keep your email address and individual responses for up to 2 years, then delete them. Anonymised data that can no longer identify you may be kept longer to help improve the assessment.
