Finding Real is operated by Finding Real for Real, a US company based in Chicago, Illinois. This beta welcomes adults worldwide. For privacy questions, contact laura@findingreal.com.
Finding Real is an early release, and we welcome real answers and thoughtful feedback. Answer as yourself to receive your texting profile and explore comparisons with people you invite.
The beta is free through December 31, 2026. We may extend the free period, change features or limits, introduce paid options, or discontinue the service. Participation does not guarantee permanent access to an account, result, or comparison. We will not automatically enroll you in a paid subscription.
The beta welcomes participants aged 18 and over. Before starting, you must confirm that you are at least 18. We do not ask for your birth date. Please do not participate if you are under 18.
You can take the assessment and view your result without providing an email. Unsaved answers, results, and optional notes stay in the open page. Completing the assessment does not submit them to our database. Leaving or refreshing may lose them. Returning to the site will not retrieve them. You may print or download your result.
If you choose to save, we store a first name or display name, your email address, your structured answers to the survey questions, your scenario selections, optional Decision Framework selections, written notes, calculated preference scores and summaries, any accuracy rating or comments you choose to add, and account and saving timestamps. We keep the original structured responses with your fixed result to support your account, check how the result was produced, and investigate scoring or support problems. Individual answers, written notes, context selections, and feedback remain private. Comparison reports show only the approved texting types, relevant preference descriptions, and recommendations. Saving requires a verified account and an explicit choice to save; signing in or viewing a result alone does not save a submission. Earlier results saved before this change do not have recoverable original answers.
Supabase provides email verification and stores saved results in the selected Ireland database region. Cloudflare hosts the website. Resend delivers account emails. These providers also process technical information needed to operate and secure their services. Ireland database hosting does not mean every provider processes all information exclusively in the EU.
The save form offers two separate, unchecked boxes. You can select either, both, or neither. Neither permission is required to save your result or take part in mutually approved comparisons. You can change either choice later in your account.
I agree that Finding Real can use any written responses in my assessment to continue to improve the assessment.
This permission covers reviewing and analyzing your optional written notes and free-form feedback to improve the assessment, including how we calculate Types and create comparison recommendations. It does not subscribe you to emails and does not give a comparison partner access to your written responses. It is separate from any basis used to process structured survey answers.
Written responses are stored privately with your saved submission. We include them in our internal written-response improvement dataset only when you give this permission. You can turn permission off in your account to stop further improvement use. Turning off this permission does not delete your account or original saved submission; it stops further improvement use of your written responses. You can separately delete your account and saved submission through account settings. Completed analyses cannot be undone, and genuinely anonymous statistics cannot be linked back to remove an individual contribution.
Your optional accuracy rating and comments are saved with your result, so you do not need to send the result separately. Please avoid sensitive information and identifying details about other people. Individual answers, notes, and feedback never appear in comparisons.
Internal analysis uses participant IDs where appropriate. These records are pseudonymous, not anonymous, and remain protected personal information. Free-text comments can contain identifying information. Access is limited to authorized Finding Real personnel.
I want to receive communications from Finding Real, including tips and offers related to my results. I can opt out at any time.
You can separately choose to receive Finding Real communications, including tips and offers related to your results. This choice is unchecked when first offered. If you subscribe, we associate your verified email with your saved result so content can be tailored to it. For example, we may send tips relevant to your Texting Type. Written notes and individual survey answers are not included in the email audience list. Subscribing is not required to save or compare, and it does not authorize improvement use of your written responses.
You can turn off these communications in your account or use the unsubscribe link in a marketing email. Unsubscribing does not stop essential emails needed for verification and account access. For each permission, we record your choice, the wording presented, the date, and subsequent changes so we can honor your preferences. Turning either permission off does not change your fixed result or your comparison permissions.
Finding Real for Real operates Finding Real. We do not sell submissions or give other organizations permission to use them for their own advertising or product development. Authorized Finding Real personnel and service providers processing information on our behalf may access it for the purposes described here. We may disclose information when legally required. Our existing hosting and email services necessarily process information on our behalf.
Feedback added during saving is attached to your saved submission. You do not need to email your results separately. If you contact Finding Real by email, those messages are held in our mailbox separately from Supabase; deleting your account does not automatically delete email correspondence. Contact laura@findingreal.com about that correspondence.
Creating an invitation approves sharing your texting type and relevant preferences with the person who accepts the private link. The recipient must separately approve sharing before either person sees the comparison. Your display name appears when someone opens a valid or expired invitation. Your email address and results do not appear before sharing is approved. You may add an optional private reminder label to an invitation, such as a first name or nickname. We store that label for your reference; it is visible only to you, not to the recipient or other participants. It does not verify or restrict the recipient. Share links only with the intended recipient. Links expire after seven days and can be cancelled. Each accepted comparison uses one of each person’s two lifetime free slots.
Other connections remain private. Individual survey answers, scenario selections, feedback, and written notes never appear in comparisons. Either person can end shared access, but copies already saved by either person cannot be recalled. Ending access does not restore a slot.
December 31, 2026 is a review date, not an automatic deletion date. If we continue the service, we may retain your account, saved submission, fixed result, and comparison records so you can continue accessing them, subject to the inactivity policy below. We may also retire beta accounts and results or delete them if we discontinue the service. Keep your own copy of any result you want to retain.
After six months without signing in, your account and saved submission may be scheduled for deletion. We will send a warning to your account email at least seven days before a planned inactivity deletion. Sign in during those seven days to keep your account active, or download your individual result if you want your own copy.
Signing in cancels the planned inactivity deletion and restarts the six-month inactivity period. Deleting your account also removes access to comparisons involving you. It does not delete another participant’s own result or copies they previously downloaded.
Account verification alone does not subscribe you to marketing; the separate communications choice is required. The website keeps your signed-in session in this browser tab’s session storage. It does not persist unsaved survey answers or results there. Sign out on shared devices.
Sign in to view your saved result. You can change your first name or display name in account settings. The updated name appears on invitations and comparisons; it does not replace or recalculate your fixed result. You can delete your account and saved data from the account panel, including saved answers, notes, feedback, and communication preferences. This also removes shared access to your comparisons. Your comparison partner’s own result remains theirs. Copies they downloaded cannot be recalled. For privacy or access questions, contact laura@findingreal.com.
