BiblioPraxis ("us", "we", or "our") operates the BiblioPraxis website (the "Service"). This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data when you use our Service and the choices you have associated with that data.

1. Information Collection and Use

We collect several different types of information for various purposes to provide and improve our Service to you. This is a placeholder document and should be replaced with a legally binding Privacy Policy.

Types of Data Collected

  • Personal Data: While using our Service, we may ask you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information that can be used to contact or identify you ("Personal Data"). This may include, but is not limited to: email address, name, usage data.
  • Usage Data: We may also collect information on how the Service is accessed and used ("Usage Data").
  • Research Data: Any data, documents, or information you upload or create as part of your research remains your property.

2. Use of Data

BiblioPraxis uses the collected data for various purposes, including to provide and maintain the Service, to notify you about changes to our Service, and to provide customer support.

3. Security of Data

The security of your data is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. We use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Data.

4. Service Providers

We may employ third-party companies and individuals to facilitate our Service ("Service Providers"), to provide the Service on our behalf, to perform Service-related services, or to assist us in analyzing how our Service is used. These third parties have access to your Personal Data only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.

Specifically, our Service integrates with third-party academic search engines and artificial intelligence models to process research queries. When you perform a search or use an AI-powered feature, your query data is sent to these providers to retrieve results. Examples of such providers include:

  • Academic Search APIs: Such as SerpApi, to gather publication data.
  • Large Language Model (LLM) Providers: Such as Google Gemini, when you opt-in to use non-local AI-assisted features.

We recommend you review the privacy policies of these third-party providers to understand how they handle your data.

5. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.
