Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 6, 2026

Motive ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use Motive. Motive is a one-time purchase app ($4.99) with no subscription or recurring fees.

1. Information We Collect

Data You Provide

Survey Responses: Your answers to the motivation assessment questions
Profile Data: Any name or label you assign to your profile
Contact Information: Name and email when you contact support

Automatically Collected Data

Device Information: Operating system, browser type, device model (for bug fixes and compatibility)
Usage Statistics: Features used and crash reports (anonymous)

2. How We Store Your Data

Local Storage Only: All your assessment results, profiles, and settings are stored locally on your device using the browser's local storage. We do not store this data on our servers.

This means:

✅ Your assessment data never leaves your device
✅ We cannot access your personal motivation profile
✅ App works completely offline after initial load
⚠️ Data is tied to your device/browser — clearing browser data or uninstalling removes it

3. How We Use Your Information

We use information only for:

Providing core app functionality (assessment scoring, type profiles, recommendations)
Improving app performance and fixing bugs
Responding to your support requests
Understanding which features are most used (anonymized usage stats)

We do NOT:

❌ Sell your data to third parties
❌ Display advertisements
❌ Track you across other websites or apps
❌ Require account creation or login

4. Third-Party Services

Calculations

All assessment scoring is performed locally in your browser. No external API calls are made for type calculations.

Analytics

We may use privacy-focused analytics (e.g., Plausible or similar) to understand anonymous app usage. No cookies, no personal data, no cross-site tracking.

5. Cookies and Tracking

We do not use cookies for tracking.

We use browser local storage to:

Save your assessment results and profiles
Remember your display preferences

This is not tracking — it's local storage for app functionality.

6. Data Security

We implement security measures including:

HTTPS encryption for all website requests
No server-side storage of personal assessment data
Secure contact form handling via Formspree

However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Children's Privacy

Motive is suitable for all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent and believe your child has provided us with personal information through the contact form, please email us at support@ldcoda.com.

8. Your Rights

You have the right to:

Access: Your assessment data is stored locally on your device
Deletion: Clear all app data in settings or clear browser data
Correction: Retake the assessment at any time to update your profile

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of Motive after changes constitutes acceptance of the new policy.

Disclaimer

Motive is designed for self-reflection and personal exploration only. Results are not a clinical assessment, psychological diagnosis, or professional evaluation of any kind.

The Enneagram is a model — a map, not the territory. Do not use this app as a substitute for licensed counselling, mental health treatment, or any professional service.

By using Motive you acknowledge it is a tool for self-exploration offered in good faith, with no warranties as to accuracy or fitness for any particular purpose.
