This notice describes how the Institute for Founder Dynamics ("IFD," "we") collects, uses, and shares consumer health data through the Cofounder Diagnostic (the "Diagnostic").

1. Categories of health data we collect and why

Categories.

Answers about your physical and mental health and wellbeing as they affect your work, for example stress, emotional challenges, health conditions, sleep, eating habits, access to medical care, and use of professional support such as a coach or therapist.
Answers about how your cofounder handles stress or is at risk of burnout.
Scores and report content derived from these answers.

To check that reports are accurate and to improve the Diagnostic.
For research using de-identified data.
