Privacy Policy

The Science Editorium ("we", "us", or "our") operates scienceeditorium.com. This policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information. By using our service, you agree to the collection and use of information as described here.

1. Information we collect

Account information: When you create an account, we collect your name, email address, and a hashed password. This is stored securely via Supabase.

Usage data: We track how many tool runs you use per month to enforce plan limits. We do not store the content of your tool inputs or outputs beyond what is needed to display your run history.

Payment information: Payments are handled by Stripe. We do not store credit card numbers or payment details on our servers. We receive confirmation of payment status only.

Email communications: If you sign up, we may send you onboarding emails and occasional product updates via Brevo. You can unsubscribe at any time.

2. How we use your information

• To provide, maintain, and improve the service
• To manage your account and subscription
• To send transactional emails (account confirmation, billing receipts)
• To send product updates and educational content (you can opt out at any time)
• To monitor usage for plan enforcement and abuse prevention

3. Third-party services

We use the following third-party services to operate the platform:

• Supabase — authentication and database (EU/US infrastructure)
• Stripe — payment processing
• Brevo — email communications
• Netlify — website hosting and serverless functions
• Anthropic — AI model powering the tools (inputs are processed by Claude; see Anthropic's privacy policy)

Each of these providers has their own privacy policies. We share only the minimum information required to operate the service.

4. Data retention

We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. Tool run history is retained according to your plan (10 most recent runs on the Free plan; full history on the Researcher plan). You may request deletion of your account and all associated data at any time by emailing editor@scienceeditorium.com.

7. Security

We take reasonable precautions to protect your data, including encrypted connections (HTTPS), hashed passwords, and row-level security on our database. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
