Terms of Service

Last updated: March 4, 2026

Plain English, no legalese: Depth Profile is a self-reflection tool, not a medical service. Your data stays in your browser. Don't use it for hiring decisions or clinical diagnosis. That's the short version — the full terms are below.

1. What Depth Profile Is

Depth Profile is a personality assessment tool designed for education and self-reflection. It is not a medical service, psychological service, or clinical tool of any kind.

Using Depth Profile is not a substitute for professional mental health care. If you're struggling, please reach out to a qualified professional — our assessments can't replace that.

2. Mental Wellness Assessments

The PHQ-9 (depression screening) and GAD-7 (anxiety screening) questionnaires available on this platform are clinically validated tools commonly used in healthcare settings. On Depth Profile, they are presented for informational and educational purposes only — not as clinical assessments.

A score on these tools is not a diagnosis. If you're experiencing distress, please reach out:

  • 🆘 National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 988
  • 💬 Crisis Text Line: Text HOME to 741741
  • 🚨 Local Emergency Services: 911

3. Assessment Accuracy

The Big Five (OCEAN) model is one of the most empirically validated frameworks in personality psychology and forms the foundation of our assessments.

Other frameworks — including our MBTI-style type indicator — are derived from published psychological frameworks and are useful approximations, not clinical instruments. No personality assessment is perfectly accurate.

We make no guarantees about the accuracy, validity, or clinical utility of any results generated on this platform. Use them as a starting point for self-reflection, not as definitive conclusions.

4. Your Data

See our Privacy Policy for the full details. The short version:

  • Assessment data stays in your browser's local storage
  • Share links encode your results in the URL — nothing is stored on our servers
  • We don't maintain a database of user profiles

5. Content You Share

When you generate a share link or shareable card, you're choosing to share your own data with the people you send it to. We're not responsible for how recipients use or interpret that information. Share thoughtfully.

6. Limitations of Use

Depth Profile is not built or validated for high-stakes decisions. Do not use it for:

  • Employment screening or hiring decisions
  • Clinical diagnosis of any kind
  • Any decision with significant consequences for another person

These tools are meant for personal exploration — that's what they're good at.

7. Availability

Depth Profile is provided as-is, in beta. We may update, change, or discontinue features without advance notice. We'll do our best to be transparent about major changes — see our changelog for what's new.

8. Age

Depth Profile is intended for users 16 and older. The Mental Wellness pathway includes PHQ-9 and GAD-7 items that are clinically validated for adults. We don't knowingly serve users under 16.

9. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, USA, without regard to conflict of law provisions.
