2. What Data We Collect

We collect the following types of information:

• Account data: Email address, name (when you sign up via email, Google, or GitHub).
• Study data: Research abstracts, study designs, and methodology descriptions you submit for critique.
• Usage data: API call counts, critique history, timestamps, and plan/subscription status.

4. Zero Training Guarantee

Your study data is never used to train our AI models. This is a zero-training guarantee. The data you submit is processed to generate a critique, then stored only for your history access. It is not included in any model training, fine-tuning, or prompt engineering datasets.

5. Data Security

• Encryption at rest: AES-256 for all stored study data.
• Encryption in transit: TLS 1.3 for all communications.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

• Access your personal data
• Correct inaccurate data
