Privacy
What we collect, why, and your rights over it.
Last updated 2 October 2026.
Who we are
House Hermetica, a French research association (Association loi 1901, RNA W111009961), is the data controller for the Baseline Test, TRINITI, Portica, Praxis and Palatium platforms. You can view, correct or delete your data in your account, or write to [email protected].
What we collect
- Account details you provide: name, email, biology, date of birth, stream preference.
- Baseline Test responses and the scores computed from them.
- Technical data needed to run the service: IP address, browser, session tokens, error logs.
- The pages you visit on our sites, recorded on our own server to improve the service.
Why we use it
To run your account and deliver the assessment, to develop and validate the MQ framework, and to keep the service secure. We publish research findings in aggregate. We never identify individuals.
Who we share it with
Only the infrastructure providers we need to run the service: Hetzner (hosting; the servers holding your data are in Helsinki, Finland, and the company is registered in Germany), Cloudflare (which carries traffic between your browser and our servers and blocks attacks; it keeps aggregate counts of that traffic, such as request volume and country, and we do not run its browser analytics script), and an encrypted off-site backup held in Finland. We do not sell personal data. We do not use third-party trackers or advertising networks.
Cookies
We set only strictly necessary cookies and localStorage entries: a session token to keep you signed in, and your stream preference. No third-party analytics, no advertising.
How long we keep it
Account and assessment data for the life of your account. On deletion we remove personal identifiers and retain an anonymous research record. Technical logs roll over at 30 days. Accounting records are kept for 10 years as required by French law.
Your rights
You can access, correct, export or delete your data, object to processing, or withdraw consent. Write to [email protected]. You may also complain to the French data protection authority, CNIL, or your local equivalent.
Changes
When this policy changes materially, we update the date above and notify account holders by email.
