Trust & privacy
Designed for exploration, not prediction.
PathIQ is designed to support exploration. It does not decide your career, determine your worth, or guarantee employment. Outputs should be used as a starting point for conversations, research, advising, and small experiments.
Beta limitations
PathIQ is a Beta tool. Outputs are rules-based starting points meant to support reflection and next-step planning. They should not be treated as a diagnosis, employment decision, or guarantee of future success.
Not employment selection
PathIQ is for exploration and planning — not hiring, screening, or ranking people for roles. Outputs are not designed for and should not be used in employment decisions.
Not psychological or medical advice
PathIQ does not diagnose, evaluate, or treat any psychological or medical condition. It is a career exploration tool.
Privacy & youth data
PathIQ does not collect date of birth, school name, or protected-class information by default. If under-18 explorers use PathIQ, please avoid submitting sensitive personal information. Parents, schools, and workforce programs can reach out for program-level scoping.
AI / rules-based transparency
The v1 Path Map is generated with a deterministic, rules-based engine — no model is required. If future versions add model-based generation, that will be disclosed here.
What we don't send to analytics
Free text from the intake stays on your device. We don't send raw free text, school names, exact age, or full Path Map contents to analytics. Privacy-safe events (like 'path_map_generated') help us improve the product.
Your data rights
In v1, PathIQ stores your intake and Path Map locally in your browser. Clearing your browser data removes them. For program-level inquiries about data handling, contact us below.
