8. Intellectual Property
Evoluna intellectual property:
The Evoluna platform, trademark, logo, design, and software belong to XPERT MEDIA OÜ. Use without written permission is prohibited.
AI-based profile enrichment:
Evoluna uses artificial intelligence (AI) technology to analyze, systematize, and enrich publicly available data. This includes extracting skills and competencies, classifying archetypes, and structuring profiles. The AI-generated analysis, systematized skill lists, and data structure are Evoluna's intellectual property (Sui generis database right, EU Directive 96/9/EC). Automated copying of this data by third parties is prohibited.
Evoluna strives to ensure the accuracy of AI analysis but does not guarantee 100% interpretive accuracy. Specialists have the right to claim their profile and correct data at any time.
AI-based matching:
Evoluna uses artificial intelligence to match users with specialists based on assessment results and profile data. AI-generated match explanations, matching scores, and recommendation algorithms are Evoluna's intellectual property. See §12 (AI-Based Matching) for detailed terms.
User content:
Users and specialists remain owners of their uploaded content (images, texts, videos), but grant Evoluna a non-exclusive right to use this content for platform operation.
Reviews:
Reviews are public and remain on the platform even after the user's account is closed, but are anonymized.
9. Assessments and Profile Visibility
Assessment System:
Evoluna offers users self-assessment tools that help them better understand their strengths, areas for development, and personal goals. Assessment results are personal and confidential.
Profile Visibility Control:
Users have the option to enable the display of their assessment results on their public profile. This feature is disabled by default and enabling it is a conscious choice by the user.
Publicly Displayed Information:
When a user enables assessment result display:
•Only the assessment name, profile type, and overall score are shown
•Detailed answers, dimension scores, and internal analyses are not disclosed
•The user can disable visibility at any time
User Responsibility:
The user is solely responsible for what information they display publicly on their profile. Evoluna is not responsible for any consequences that may arise from the user's decision to share their assessment results publicly.
10. Subscriptions and Tiers
Subscription system:
Evoluna offers specialists three subscription tiers: Basic, Standard, and Premium. Each tier offers a different platform service fee rate, additional features, and visibility benefits.
Billing:
•Subscriptions are billed on a recurring monthly or annual basis
•Payments are processed automatically via Stripe
•Annual subscriptions offer a more favorable monthly rate
Auto-renewal:
Subscriptions auto-renew at the end of each billing period unless the user has previously cancelled.

Matching system:
Evoluna uses artificial intelligence (AI) to generate personalized recommendations based on user assessment results and specialist profiles. Matching is based on analysis of assessment dimensions, goals, and specialist competencies.
AI-generated content:
•Match scores and explanations are generated automatically by AI
•AI explanations are advisory, not binding
•Evoluna does not guarantee the accuracy or suitability of AI recommendations
•The user is responsible for the final choice of specialist
Data usage:
•Matching uses only data that the user has provided to Evoluna (completing assessments, profile data)
•The AI model does not make decisions that have legal effect on the user
•Users have the right to opt out of matching by disabling the matching feature in their profile settings
Profiling (GDPR Art. 22):
AI-based matching constitutes profiling within the meaning of GDPR. However, it is not fully automated decision-making, as the final choice is always made by the user. Users have the right to request human intervention and challenge AI recommendations.
Limited liability:
Evoluna is not liable for the consequences of decisions made based on AI recommendations. AI recommendations are an aid, not a substitute for independent decision-making.
