Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Account Information

When you create an account, we may collect:

• Email address
• Display name
• Profile image (if provided)
• Account plan and preferences

This data is stored in our application database for authentication and account management.

1.2 Usage & Credits Information

To operate the credit-based system, we record:

• Credit balance and transactions
• Actions performed (e.g. item analysis, enrichment)
• Token usage metadata (counts only, not raw prompts)

This information is used solely for billing, usage tracking, and abuse prevention.

1.3 Research Content

Experimentein processes public scientific content, including:

• Research papers (e.g. from arXiv)
• Extracted item summaries
• Derived embeddings for semantic search

We do not collect or claim ownership over private or proprietary research unless explicitly uploaded by the user.

2. How We Use Information

• Authenticate users
• Provide access to features and credits
• Enable semantic search and item comparison
• Improve system performance and reliability
• Prevent misuse of the service

We do not sell personal data.

3. Data Storage & Processing

Experimentein uses multiple systems for different purposes:

• Application data (users, credits): stored in a general-purpose database
• Scientific content: stored in a canonical research datastore
• Semantic vectors: stored in a vector search engine
• AI processing: performed by third-party language models when explicitly triggered by the user

AI providers receive only the minimum necessary context to perform the requested task.

4. Cookies & Tracking

We use only essential cookies or storage mechanisms required for:

• Authentication
• Session management
• Security

We do not use advertising trackers.

5. Data Retention

• Account and credit data is retained while your account is active.
• Research-derived content may be retained for reproducibility and system integrity.
• You may request account deletion, which will remove personal identifiers.

6. Your Rights

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

• Access your personal data
• Request correction or deletion
• Withdraw consent

Requests can be made via the contact information below.

7. Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy as the service evolves. Material changes will be reflected by an updated date.
