How we handle your data
This page describes what clarityquotient.org collects, what we do with it, and the choices you have. It is written in plain language. If anything is unclear, email julia@juliadenman.com and we will answer.
clarityquotient.org is Julia Denman's personal publishing site for her book, essays, and the Clarity Quotient self-assessment. It is not affiliated with Microsoft or any other employer.
What we collect
If you take the self-assessment: When you complete the assessment, we record the anonymous, aggregate outcome: your Clarity Quotient profile, your overall band, and your scores bucketed into ranges. This happens whether or not you give us your email. It is not linked to you personally. We use it to understand how the assessment is performing across everyone who takes it, and to improve the questions over time.
If you give us your email: We store your email address and your first name, if you provide it. We use that to send you new essays and occasional updates about the book. Your email is held with Kit, our email service provider. If you submit your email at the end of the assessment, your profile and scores are stored with your email in Kit so we can send you relevant content.
Basic site analytics: We use Plausible to understand how people find and use the site. Plausible is a privacy-friendly analytics tool. It does not use cookies and does not track individuals across sites. What we see: visit counts by page, the traffic source (such as "linkedin" or "direct"), aggregate assessment completion outcomes (as described above), and whether visitors drop off at particular points in the assessment flow. All of this is aggregate only. No personal identifiers are sent to Plausible.
What we do with it
- Assessment answers are used to study score distributions and improve the questions. We may publish aggregate findings from the assessment data over time. No individual response will ever be published or shared in an identifiable way.
- Your email is used only to send you essays and occasional book updates. We do not sell, rent, or otherwise share your email with third parties for marketing purposes.
- Site analytics are used to understand how people find and use the site, so we can make it better.
Who we share data with
We use a small number of standard service providers:
- Kit holds your email subscription and sends our emails.
- Plausible hosts our privacy-friendly site analytics.
- Our backend provider holds the anonymous assessment answers.
We do not share your data with anyone else.

How long we keep it
Email subscribers stay on the list until they unsubscribe or ask to be removed.
Anonymous assessment data is kept indefinitely for the purpose of studying how the assessment performs over time. Because the data is not linked to you personally, it cannot be tied back to you unless you chose to share your email at the time of the assessment.
Cookies
This site does not set marketing or tracking cookies. Plausible, our analytics provider, does not use cookies. Kit's email subscription may set a first-party cookie to remember your submission. That is the full list.
