3.2 Use of Data from the Psychological Survey

3.2.1 Classification into Psychological Groups:

The responses you provide in the survey are processed through our algorithms to classify you into distinct psychological groups. These groups, based on psychological and behavioral traits, are essential in determining compatibility among users. By doing this, we can ensure that your matches resonate more with your personality, values, and interests.

3.2.2 Personalizing the In-call Experience:

The richness of the psychological data allows us to curate a more tailored in-call experience for you. For example, the artificial intelligence-generated questions you receive during a call may be influenced by your psychological group, ensuring that the conversation flows naturally and is engaging for both parties involved.

3.2.3 Confidentiality of Your Responses:

While the psychological survey helps us refine and personalize your experience, we also understand the sensitivity of such information. We commit to the following:

• Anonymized Data Processing: When processing survey data for analytics or improvements, all data is anonymized and devoid of personally identifiable information, ensuring that your privacy is always protected.

In all our processes, your well-being, security, and privacy are our top priorities. The psychological survey data, while pivotal for the app's functionality, is treated with the utmost respect and confidentiality.
