What We Collect
To provide our service, we collect:
- Your email address and name
- Your publications (titles, abstracts, links)
- Your preferences (research focus, tone, target fields, geographies)
- Contact information for scholars we surface (publicly available information only)
Why We Collect It
We use this information to:
- Generate your recurring scholarly presence brief
- Match relevant scholars and visibility opportunities to your research
- Prepare outreach drafts tailored to your work
- Create and manage your account
What We Don't Collect
- We don't track which drafts you view or how long you spend on pages
- We don't monitor your outreach actions (who you contact, what you send)
- We don't use cookies for behavioral tracking
Third-Party Services
To provide our service, we rely on third-party providers including Firebase (Google Cloud) for authentication and data storage. These providers process your data to enable core functionality. Third-party providers have their own privacy practices and data handling policies. As our business evolves, additional third parties may be involved in delivering or supporting our service, and their roles and uses of data may expand over time.
Data Security
Your data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS/TLS). Data at rest in Firebase is encrypted. However, we are a small operation—no security is absolute.
Your Rights
- Access: Request a copy of your data
- Deletion: Request deletion of your account and associated data
- Portability: Request your data in a standard format
To exercise these rights, contact us at boris@loudcamel.com
