Privacy Policy & Terms of Use
Last updated: April 2026
1. What AQAL Is
AQAL is a research tool for accessibility design and neurodiversity awareness, developed by Leeza Care Research & Development Foundation. It is not a diagnostic medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, or screen for any condition. Predictions are population-level statistical estimates derived from publicly available neuroimaging datasets.
2. What We Do Not Do
- We do not diagnose autism or any other condition
- We do not provide medical advice
- We do not store individual brain scans or personal health information
- We do not sell data to third parties
- We do not use your input data to retrain our models
3. Data Collection
Sensory Audit: If you upload a video, it is processed in memory on our Azure VM and deleted after the session. We do not store uploaded videos.
Text Input: Text submitted for brain prediction is processed in memory and not stored.
Calibration: Sensory calibration ratings are processed client-side in your browser. No data is sent to our servers unless you explicitly choose to save a Sensory Passport.
Access requests: If you submit the form, we store your email, organization, role, interest, and review status in Leeza's backend to review your request and contact you about AQAL access. Access is not granted automatically. We do not sell or share this information with third parties.
4. Training Data
AQAL's neurodiverse transform is trained on de-identified, publicly available fMRI datasets (1,545 subjects from two multi-site consortia). No individual can be identified from our model outputs. All training data was collected under IRB-approved protocols at the original institutions.
5. Sensory Passport
If you create a Sensory Passport, you choose whether to make it public (accessible via a shareable link) or keep it private. Public passports display only the sensory profile you created — no personal health information. You can delete your passport at any time.
6. Clinical Disclaimer
AQAL predictions are based on group-level statistics, not individual brain scans. They should never replace professional assessment. If you are concerned about yourself or a child, please consult a developmental pediatrician, psychologist, or other qualified clinician. Our tool is designed to help architects, educators, and designers create more accessible spaces — not to make clinical determinations.
7. Children
AQAL is not intended for use by children. The Sensory Passport and calibration tools are designed for adults or for caregivers acting on behalf of a child under professional guidance.
8. Cookies & Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand visits and how people navigate the site. Google Analytics may set analytics cookies and receive usage and technical information, such as pages viewed, device details, and approximate location. We do not send assessment answers, uploaded content, or Sensory Passport details to Google Analytics. See Google's Privacy Policy for information about Google's data processing.
9. Open Science
Our methodology, statistical corrections, and limitations are published openly at mind.new/paper and mind.new/roadmap. We believe transparency is essential for trust in AI-driven neuroscience tools.
