Privacy and legal notice
What we store
- Questions and their results: the papers found (with an excerpt of the abstract, unless its license is open) and their classifications. They avoid repeating work (the same question is reused for 30 days) and power each question's own page.
- “Wrong classification?” reports: the answer you propose and, if you write one, your comment.
- Hourly usage counters, to limit abuse. We do not store your IP: only an encrypted digest (hash) with a secret key that changes every day, which cannot identify you or follow you from one day to the next. They are deleted after two days.
- Aggregate spending on paid services, not linked to anyone.
What we do not store
- No accounts, names, emails or your IP.
- We use no cookies. Your browser keeps the language you choose (and, in the test version, the access key) in its local storage. It never leaves your browser.
Searches are public
Every search has a link that anyone can open. Reviewed questions may appear on the home page or in search engines. Do not write personal data in the question or in comments.
Services involved
- Cloudflare: hosts the website and the database. Its invisible captcha, Turnstile, checks that you are not a robot.
- MyMemory and OpenAlex: your browser sends them the question (to translate it) and the search directly, with your IP, as when visiting any website.
- TypeSafe (Jev): our server sends it the question and the abstracts to classify them.
- Europe PMC, Semantic Scholar, arXiv, NCBI and Wikidata: our server sends them the search terms.
Your rights
You can ask us to delete a search or a report, or ask anything about these data, by writing to the project's contact address (to be published here before launch). Since we store nothing that identifies you, include the search link or the report text.
Legal notice
- The information is an automatic summary of abstracts, with no guarantee of accuracy. It is not medical or professional advice.
- Abstracts and paper data belong to their authors and publishers. An excerpt with a link to the original is shown, unless the license is open.
- quedicelaciencia's code is open source under the MIT license.
