Tology Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy

Last updated: 09/16/2025

1. Introduction & Spirit of Use

Welcome to Tology. We built this tool to help people understand themselves and others better — whether for personal curiosity, team development, or exploring role fit in a professional context.

At its core, Tology is meant to provide a structured, transparent, and constructive way to reflect on work styles, preferences, and patterns. It can be used individually for self-reflection, or in professional settings by candidates, employers, and organizations.

When used in a hiring context, our guiding principles are:

  • Optional — Candidates are free to skip assessments and still continue through the hiring process.

  • Transparent — Results are shared openly with candidates.

  • Constructive — The goal is to highlight work styles and preferences, not to label or exclude people.

  • Objective & Consistent — The framework is designed to support more efficient, thoughtful, and structured interviews.

This is not a medical or psychological test, and it is not used to automatically screen or rank candidates. It is a guide for self-reflection, conversation, and growth.

By using Tology, you agree to these Terms and this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you may opt out by not using the service.

2. Who We Are

Tology is operated by Tology, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. References to “we,” “our,” or “us” mean the company. References to “you” mean either an individual user (using Tology personally), a candidate (using Tology during a hiring process), or an organization (such as an employer, team, or other group using Tology to support interviews, development, or collaboration).

3. Use of the Service

  • You may use Tology only for lawful purposes.

  • Organizations (employers, teams, schools, nonprofits, etc.) are solely responsible for ensuring their use of Tology complies with applicable laws, including anti-discrimination, privacy, and fair use obligations.

  • We disclaim responsibility for how organizations choose to apply the tool.

  • Candidates understand that participation is optional and results are for conversation and development, not for medical or diagnostic purposes.

4. Candidate Data & Privacy

  • Consent: By using Tology, you consent to the collection and use of your responses for the purposes of reflection, conversation, or, if relevant, an interview process.

  • Storage: With your permission, responses may be stored securely for future reference. Refusal or withdrawal of permission will not affect candidacy or other participation.

  • Access & Deletion: You may request a copy of your responses and may request deletion at any time by contacting us.

  • Scope: Data is used only to support self-reflection, interview discussions, and team fit, not for unrelated purposes.

5. Security

We use industry-standard security measures — including encryption (e.g., AES-256) and access controls — to protect your data. If a data breach occurs, we will notify affected users promptly as required by law.

6. Intellectual Property

  • The Tology framework, site, and related materials are owned by us.

  • Open-source item pools (e.g., IPIP items) remain the property of their respective creators and are used under open terms.

  • You may not copy, resell, or misrepresent the framework as your own.

7. Disclaimers & Limits of Liability

  • Tology is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind.

  • We make no guarantee that use of Tology will result in successful hiring, retention, or team outcomes.

  • We are not liable for any employment or organizational decisions made by users who apply Tology.

8. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict of law principles.

9. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms and this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updates will be posted on our website with a revised effective date. It is your responsibility to review these Terms periodically for changes. If you maintain an account, we may also notify you of material changes by email or through the service.
