4. AI-Generated Content

Users can generate AI personality summaries based on their question answers. Free users receive 2 summaries total. Pro and Brand users get unlimited regeneration. AI summaries are generated using OpenAI and are for informational and entertainment purposes only.

Compatibility results may include AI-generated insights such as match context, strongest match areas, and biggest differences. These are generated automatically.

Important: By using AI features you acknowledge that your answers are sent to OpenAI for processing. We make no guarantee about the accuracy of AI-generated content. See the data sharing section below for details.

5. Sharing & Sub-processors

We use the following third-party services to operate Intype:

Transfers to the US (OpenAI, Stripe, Vercel) are made under Standard Contractual Clauses or the EU-US Data Privacy Framework where applicable.

Paid Profile Access

Intype allows Pro and Brand users to monetize their profiles by charging a one-time fee for lifetime access.

  • What buyers receive. Buyers get access to the seller's full personality profile, AI summary, trait categories, compatibility scores, and optionally all question answers (if enabled by seller). Buyers never receive the seller's email address, password, or account credentials.
  • Seller opt-in. Paid profile is entirely optional. Sellers must enable it in Settings, connect a Stripe account, and set a price. It is off by default.
  • Platform fee. Intype retains 20% of each paid profile sale. The seller receives 80% via Stripe Connect.
  • Disabling. Sellers can disable paid profile at any time. Existing buyers retain their lifetime access. New purchases are blocked.
  • Legal basis. Explicit consent by the seller (opt-in). Contract performance for the buyer.

6. Your Rights (GDPR)

As a person in the EU/EEA, you have the right to:

  • Access — request a copy of your personal data.
  • Rectification — correct inaccurate data (via Settings).
  • Erasure — delete your account and all data (via Settings → Delete Account).
  • Portability — request your data in a portable format.
  • Restriction — request we restrict processing of your data.
  • Objection — object to processing based on legitimate interest.
  • Withdraw consent — disable paid profile sales, AI summary generation, or answer visibility at any time in Settings.

To exercise any of these rights, email sampo.metsanpera@gmail.com. We will respond within 30 days.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Finnish Data Protection Ombudsman (tietosuoja.fi) if you believe your data has been processed unlawfully.

7. Data Retention

  • Account and profile data: kept until you delete your account.
  • Compatibility history and scores: kept until you delete your account.
  • Payment and unlock records: kept for 7 years as required by Finnish accounting law.
  • Stripe webhook event IDs: kept for 90 days for idempotency and abuse prevention.
  • AI usage logs: kept for 90 days for abuse prevention.

When you delete your account, all profile data, answers, AI summaries, and compatibility history are permanently deleted. Active Stripe subscriptions (both plan and paid profile) are cancelled automatically. Payment records are retained only as required by law.

8. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your personal data:

  • All data is transmitted over HTTPS/TLS.
  • Database access is protected by Supabase Row Level Security (RLS) policies.
  • API routes use authentication and rate limiting.
  • Payment data is processed and stored entirely by Stripe — we never handle card numbers.
  • Admin operations require server-side service role keys that are never exposed to the client.

No system is 100% secure. If you discover a vulnerability, please report it to sampo.metsanpera@gmail.com.

9. Cookies

Intype uses cookies only for authentication (Supabase session cookies). We do not use third-party tracking cookies or advertising cookies.

Children's Privacy

Intype is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 16. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

Answer Visibility

Users can optionally allow others to view all their question answers by enabling “Show all answers” in Settings. This is off by default. When enabled, any visitor (or buyer, for paid profiles) can see the full list of questions and selected answers. When disabled, only aggregated trait signals are shown.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated by email or via a notice in the app. The “last updated” date at the top of this page always reflects the current version.
