Privacy Policy

1. What We Collect

Account information: Your email address, display name, and authentication credentials (or third-party sign-in identity if you use Google or another provider to sign in).

Assessment responses:Your answers to assessment questions across four sections: Money & Legal, Family & Shared Life, Commitment & Trust, and Conflict & Repair.

Generated content:AI-generated analyses, scores, the Marriage Roadmap, and conversation seed questions produced from your responses (“Outputs”).

Partner connection: Your pairing with another user (your partner), including the invite method and associated contact information.

Usage data: Basic interaction data such as which sections have been completed, timestamps, and session information. We do not use third-party analytics or tracking tools at this time.

Payment information: If you purchase the full Check-In or a gift, your payment is processed by a third-party payment provider. We receive confirmation of payment, your email address, and a transaction identifier. We do not receive, store, or have access to your payment card number, expiration date, or security code.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

• Create and manage your account
• Pair you with your partner
• Generate your personalized assessment analysis and Marriage Roadmap
• Send transactional communications (invite notifications, account updates)
• Maintain and improve The Marriage Check-In
• Create anonymized and aggregated data for research, analytics, and improvement of our AI systems (such data does not personally identify you)

We do not use your information to:

• Sell or rent your data to anyone
• Show you advertisements
• Build marketing profiles about you
• Train AI models on your individually identifiable responses

3. Partner Disclosure

This is how answer disclosure works in The Marriage Check-In.

Your partner does not see your answers while the check-in is being completed. After both people finish, the shared analysis may reference what each of you reported by name — for example, “Tom reported X. Molly reported Y. Here is what that combination may signal.” This specificity is what makes the analysis actionable rather than vague.

Free-text responses (where you write in your own words) may be referenced or quoted in the shared analysis to make the interpretation specific and actionable.

Safety-related answers — including questions about fear, coercion, or physical safety — are handled through a separate private pathway and are never disclosed to the other partner as part of the couple analysis.

4. Who Has Access to Your Data

You: You can view and delete your own data from Settings at any time.

Your partner: The shared analysis, which may reference structured answers by name to identify patterns. Free-text responses may be referenced or quoted to support the analysis. Safety-related answers are never disclosed.

Our service providers: We use a limited number of third-party providers for essential services including authentication and database hosting, AI-powered analysis generation, web hosting and delivery, transactional email, payment processing, and workflow automation. Data is transmitted to these providers through encrypted API connections and is shared only to the extent necessary to perform the specific service. These providers are selected for their security practices and contractual commitments regarding data protection. Our AI providers contractually commit not to train on data submitted through their business APIs. We cannot independently verify third-party practices beyond our contractual agreements. All data processing occurs within the United States.

We do not share your data with:

• Advertisers
• Data brokers
• Social media platforms
• Researchers (unless you explicitly consent to a specific study)

Legal requirements: Glendale AI may disclose personal information as required by law, regulation, subpoena, or government request.

5. AI Processing

Your assessment responses (“Inputs”) are processed by AI services to generate your analysis and report (“Outputs”). This processing happens through business API endpoints where the providers contractually agree not to use submitted data for model training.

AI-generated content may contain errors, inaccuracies, or insights that do not apply to your situation. The analysis is a starting point for conversation, not a clinical assessment. You are responsible for how you interpret and act on any Output.

6. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored on secure, hosted infrastructure within the United States. We implement commercially reasonable security measures including encryption in transit and at rest, access controls, and security policies that restrict data access to authorized processes only.

No security measures are perfect. We cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials.

7. Data Retention and Deletion

While your account exists: Your data is stored for as long as you maintain an account. You control when it is deleted.

Reset assessment: You can clear all responses, scores, and AI analyses from Settings while keeping your account and partner connection intact.

Delete account: You can permanently delete your account and all associated data from Settings. This removes your responses, scores, analyses, partner connection, and authentication credentials.

After deletion: Our primary systems remove your data immediately. Infrastructure provider backups may retain deleted data for up to 90 days per standard enterprise practices. After this period, your data is permanently removed. We may retain anonymized and aggregated data that does not personally identify you.

8. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access your data through your Marriage Check-In account at any time
• Delete your data through Settings
• Withdraw from the assessment at any time — either partner can stop at any point
• Object to specific data uses by contacting us

California residents: If you are a California resident, you have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to request deletion, and the right to non-discrimination for exercising your rights. We do not sell personal information.

9. Children

The Marriage Check-In is not intended for anyone under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If we learn we have collected information from someone under 18, we will delete it.

10. Cookies

The Marriage Check-In uses only essential cookies required for authentication and session management. We do not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or third-party analytics cookies.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you via email or in-app notice before the changes take effect. Your continued use of The Marriage Check-In after changes constitutes acceptance.
