Disclaimer
Last updated: April 29, 2026
Please read this disclaimer carefully before using the HDI assessment or any content on HDI.Vision. By accessing our Services, you confirm that you have read, understood, and accepted the limitations described below. If you do not agree, please do not use the Services.
1. Not a Medical or Clinical Tool
The Human Digital Index (HDI) assessment and all content published on hdi.vision and test.hdi.vision are provided for educational and self-awareness purposes only.
The HDI assessment does not:
- Constitute a clinical diagnosis, psychological evaluation, or psychiatric assessment
- Provide medical advice, treatment recommendations, or therapy
- Replace or supplement consultation with a licensed psychologist, psychiatrist, therapist, GP, or any other qualified healthcare professional
- Identify, confirm, or rule out any mental health condition or disorder
- Assess clinical risk, including risk of self-harm or harm to others
Neither Udruga HDI Humana Digitalna Inteligencija nor the people who work with it are licensed healthcare providers. No clinical, therapeutic, or professional relationship of any kind is established by your use of the platform.
2. Not a Medical Device
The HDI assessment platform and its algorithms are not a medical device within the meaning of:
- EU Regulation 2017/745 on Medical Devices (EU MDR)
- EU Regulation 2017/746 on In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices (EU IVDR)
- Any equivalent national legislation in any jurisdiction
The platform does not diagnose, monitor, predict, prevent, or treat any medical condition or disease. It is an educational self-assessment that describes self-reported patterns of digital behaviour and their relationship to digital wellbeing.
3. Self-Reported Data and Result Limitations
HDI scores and reports are based entirely on your self-reported responses at a specific point in time. Results are therefore subject to the following limitations:
- Recall bias - your answers reflect your perception of behaviour, not objectively measured behaviour
- Situational variability - results may differ significantly if the assessment is taken at a different time, under different circumstances, or in a different emotional state
- Response bias - conscious or unconscious tendencies to answer in socially desirable ways may affect accuracy
- Ongoing development - the HDI is under continuous development; it does not have the same psychometric validation standards as clinically certified assessment tools
Results should be treated as one data point for self-reflection, not as definitive or permanent characterisations of your personality, mental state, or digital habits.
4. Personalised Content
HDI reports and personalised recommendations are put together from texts in our own library, selected according to your answers. This content:
- Is provided for informational and reflective purposes only
- Does not constitute professional advice of any kind (psychological, medical, legal, financial, or otherwise)
- May contain inaccuracies, generalisations, or content that does not apply to your specific circumstances
- Should not be the sole basis for any significant personal, health, or professional decision
5. No Liability for Decisions Based on Results
Udruga HDI Humana Digitalna Inteligencija and the people who work with it expressly disclaim all liability for:
- Any decision - personal, professional, medical, legal, or otherwise - made in reliance on HDI results or recommendations
- Any hiring, firing, promotion, compensation, disciplinary, insurance, credit, legal-status, or similar decision made in reliance on HDI results or recommendations
- Any emotional distress, discomfort, or adverse psychological reaction arising from review of assessment results
- Any failure to seek professional help based on or contrary to assessment results
- Any misinterpretation of results by the user or any third party
By using the Services, you assume full responsibility for how you interpret and act upon your results.
Organizations must not use HDI as the sole or determinative basis for employment, disciplinary, legal, or similarly significant decisions. Organization dashboards are intended for group learning, development planning, and trend analysis, not hidden monitoring or punitive profiling of individuals.
6. General Information Only
All articles, blog posts, guides, and educational content published on hdi.vision are provided for general informational purposes only. They reflect the views and research of the author at the time of writing. This content does not constitute professional advice and should not be relied upon as such. Always seek qualified professional guidance for decisions affecting your health, wellbeing, or legal situation.
External links on this site are provided for convenience only. HDI.Vision does not endorse, control, or take responsibility for the content of any external website.
7. If You Are in Distress
If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, thoughts of self-harm, or any psychological emergency - please stop and seek help immediately.
HDI.Vision is not a crisis service and cannot provide emergency support. Please contact:
- Emergency services - available at any hour: your local emergency number. This is 112 across the European Union, 911 in the United States and Canada, 999 in the United Kingdom. If it is urgent, this is the one to call - the helplines below keep office hours.
- A helpline in your own country and language: findahelpline.com - free and confidential, covering most of the world. We send you there rather than print a list that would quietly go out of date.
- Croatia - Plavi telefon (emotional support helpline): +385 1 4833 888, weekdays 09:00-20:00
- Croatia - Hrabri telefon za djecu (for children and teenagers): 116 111, weekdays 09:00-20:00
- Croatia - Hrabri telefon za mame i tate (for parents and other adults worried about a child): 0800 0800, weekdays 09:00-20:00. This line is about a child's wellbeing; if you need support for yourself, use Plavi telefon above.
8. Accuracy of Information
While we make every effort to ensure that the information on HDI.Vision is accurate and up to date, we make no representations or warranties of any kind - express or implied - about the completeness, accuracy, reliability, suitability, or availability of the information, products, services, or related graphics. Any reliance you place on such information is strictly at your own risk.
8A. Data Protection Tools Are Not Legal Advice
HDI includes privacy-by-default settings, user-controlled individual result sharing, data export and anonymization request tools. These features are designed to support responsible use and data protection compliance, but they do not constitute legal advice and do not replace an organization's own legal duties, employee notices, lawful basis assessment, data processing agreement, DPIA, internal policy, or DPO/legal review where required.
9. Changes to This Disclaimer
We may update this Disclaimer from time to time. Material changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of our Services after any update constitutes your acceptance of the revised Disclaimer.
