Terms of Service & Privacy Policy

Effective Date: July 28, 2025

Welcome to PsychKit.org. We are honored to have you here.

Before you explore the tools, games, and resources on this website (the “Site”), we ask that you carefully read the following terms. This document is a legally binding agreement that governs your use of the Site. By accessing or using PsychKit.org, you agree to be bound by these terms in their entirety.

The mission of this Site, an initiative of Joyful Psych Lab and its founder, Joyson Joy P., is to provide free, accessible tools for the common good of humanity. This document is designed to protect that mission and to ensure you have a clear, safe, and transparent experience.

1. Core Principle: For Educational & Informational Purposes Only

This is the most important principle of our Site. All content, including but not limited to articles, psychological tests, screeners, interactive activities, and games (collectively, the “Services”), are provided for educational, informational, and entertainment purposes only.

  • Not Medical or Therapeutic Advice: The Services provided on this Site do not, under any circumstances, constitute medical advice, psychological advice, diagnosis, or treatment. They are not a substitute for a professional consultation with a qualified healthcare provider, such as a licensed psychologist, psychiatrist, or medical doctor.
  • No Therapeutic Relationship: Your use of this Site does not create a therapist-patient, doctor-patient, or any other form of professional, confidential relationship between you and Joyson Joy P., Joyful Psych, or PsychKit.org.
  • Take Responsibility for Your Wellbeing: We are passionate about creating tools that can help, but the ultimate responsibility for your mental and physical health lies with you. We strongly encourage you to consult with a licensed professional for any health concerns. Do not delay seeking professional help because of something you have read or experienced on this Site.

2. Emergency Situations: This Site is Not for Crises

We are not equipped to handle emergencies. If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, having thoughts of harming yourself or others, or are in any form of immediate danger, please do not use this site for help.

Contact your local emergency services immediately (e.g., call 911, 112, or the specific emergency number for your country) or go to the nearest emergency health facility.

3. Privacy & Data Management: Our Unbreakable Promise to You

Your privacy is the foundation of the trust you place in us. Our policy is radical in its simplicity:

We do not collect, store, process, or transmit any of your personal data or test results.

  • Client-Side Processing: All calculations, analyses, and results from our tests, tools, and games happen exclusively within your own web browser on your own computer or device. This information is generated for you, and it disappears forever when you close the page.
  • No User Accounts, No Databases: We do not have user accounts or databases designed to hold personally identifiable information (PII) or personal health information (PHI) that you enter into our tools.
  • Anonymous Analytics: Like most websites, we may use standard analytics tools (like Google Analytics) to understand general traffic patterns (e.g., which pages are most popular, what countries visitors are from). This data is aggregated, anonymous, and cannot be used to identify you personally.

For a more detailed breakdown, you are welcome to review this policy at any time.

4. Limitation of Liability & Disclaimer of Warranties

This is a legal necessity to ensure we can continue to offer these services for free.

  • “As-Is” Service: You agree to use this Site “as is” and “with all faults.” We provide the Services without any express or implied warranties of any kind, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.
  • No Guarantee of Outcome: We make no guarantees about the accuracy, reliability, completeness, or timeliness of the content or the results of the tools.
  • Assumption of Risk: You knowingly and freely assume all risk when using this Site.
  • Indemnification: You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Joyful Psych, Joyson Joy P., their subsidiaries, affiliates, and creators from any and all claims, liabilities, damages, or expenses arising from your use of the Site or your violation of these terms. Under no circumstances will we be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages that result from the use of, or the inability to use, the Site or its Services.

5. Intellectual Property

The content, design, logos, games, and tools on this Site are the exclusive property of Joyful Psych Lab and are protected by international copyright and intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from any part of the Site without our express written permission.

6. General Provisions

  • Governing Law: This agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of India, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
  • Changes to Terms: We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time. We will post the revised terms on this page with an updated effective date. Your continued use of the Site after such changes constitutes your acceptance of the new terms.
  • Contact Us: If you have any questions, concerns, or ideas related to these terms or any other aspect of our Site, please do not hesitate to contact us.
