Privacy Policy

Last Updated: March 17, 2026

Path to Design collects a limited amount of information so we can run the site, send quiz results, improve the experience, and optionally send design tips when you explicitly opt in.

Information we collect

  • Your email address when you submit the design career quiz
  • Your quiz answers, result role, and experience level
  • Optional marketing consent if you choose to receive design tips and updates
  • Site usage and event data through Plausible Analytics, such as page views, outbound clicks, and quiz funnel events
  • Temporary quiz state stored in your browser session so you can move through the quiz without losing progress
  • If you submit a designer profile or story, the information and files you choose to provide in that form

Why we collect it

  • To send your quiz result email and recommended resources
  • To personalise your design guidance based on your answers
  • To send future marketing emails only if you explicitly opt in
  • To understand how people use the site and improve it over time
  • To review and publish submitted designer stories when relevant

Analytics and Plausible

We use Plausible Analytics to measure page views, outbound clicks, and quiz interactions. This helps us understand what content is useful and where users drop off in the funnel. We use Plausible in a lightweight, privacy-focused way and do not use it in our own code to create advertising audiences or behavioral profiles.

Cookies and browser storage

We do not currently set non-essential marketing cookies in our own application code. The quiz does use browser session storage to hold temporary quiz progress while you complete the flow. Your browser, hosting providers, or third-party services may still use technical cookies or similar storage for core functionality, security, or delivery.

Emails and consent

Your quiz result email is transactional, so it is sent whether or not you opt into marketing. Marketing emails are only sent when you explicitly check the consent box. We store whether consent was given and when it was recorded so we can respect your preferences.

Unsubscribe and email preferences

Marketing emails include an unsubscribe link. When you unsubscribe, we keep a record of that preference so we do not continue sending marketing emails. Unsubscribing does not automatically delete your record from our database.

How long we keep it

We keep subscriber records until you unsubscribe, request deletion, or we determine the data is no longer needed for the quiz and email service. Temporary quiz progress stored in session storage remains in your browser until the session ends or it is cleared.

Who processes the data

We use third-party providers to help operate the site, including hosting and analytics services, a database provider, and Resend for sending emails. These providers only receive the information needed to perform their service.

Your rights

  • Request access to your data
  • Request correction or deletion
  • Withdraw marketing consent at any time
  • Unsubscribe from marketing emails

How to request deletion

Email info@pathtodesign.com and we will handle your deletion request as quickly as possible.

Information we do not intentionally collect

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal data through the quiz. Please avoid sending sensitive information through quiz fields, contact forms, or profile submissions unless it is necessary.
