Terms

The basics of using Sociogene.

By using Sociogene, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site. We have tried to keep this readable.

What Sociogene is.

Sociogene publishes outside reads of associations from public information. It offers insight and patterns, not professional, legal, financial, or organizational advice, and not a definitive verdict on an organization. The self-assessment is no longer offered. Use the site for reflection and conversation, not as the sole basis for a major decision.

Who can use it.

It is meant for associations, societies, and the people and firms who run them. You need to be old enough and authorized to accept these terms, and if you answer on behalf of an organization, you confirm you are allowed to do so.

Your account.

If you gave us an email while the assessment was offered, that address is how a passwordless account was created. Keep access to it secure. You can ask us to delete it.

Using it fairly.

Please do not misuse Sociogene. That means no automated scraping or bots, no attempts to manipulate or pollute the data or the field, no reverse engineering or copying of the model, no unlawful use, and no submitting someone else's information without their permission.

Your answers and our data.

If you took the assessment while it was offered, you allowed us to use your de-identified answers, the scores with nothing that identifies you, to study the model. Those records are still kept and are not shown as individual results. Aggregated, de-identified data remains available for that study. How we handle anything personal is spelled out on our Privacy page.

What belongs to whom.

The Sociogene name, the model, the nine archetypes, the signatures, and the content are ours. We give you a personal, limited right to use your own result and signature, including any badge we provide, to represent your organization. Please do not resell, copy, or build a competing product from our model or content.

Sharing.

Earlier share links are no longer published. We do not show individual assessment results on the site.

The service is provided as is.

We work to keep Sociogene accurate, available, and useful, but we offer it without warranties. Results come from your own answers and are meant as insight, so we cannot promise they are complete or error free, and we may change or pause features, especially early on.

Limits on liability.

To the fullest extent the law allows, Sociogene and its team are not liable for indirect or incidental damages arising from your use of the site.

Changes.

We may update the service and these terms. If we make a meaningful change to the terms, we will update the date below and flag it.

Ending use.

You can stop and delete your account at any time. We may suspend accounts that abuse the site or break these terms.

Governing law.

These terms are governed by the laws of Virginia, United States.
