Privacy Policy
Research Thread (“we”, “us”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. This is a template for demonstration and should be reviewed by your legal counsel before launch.
Information we collect
We collect information you provide directly — such as your name, email address, field of research, and any manuscript or project details you share when you contact us or use our services.
We also collect limited technical information automatically, such as your browser type and pages visited, to operate and improve the site.
How we use your information
We use your information to respond to enquiries, deliver the services you request, communicate about your project, and improve our offering. We do not sell your personal information.
Confidentiality of your research
Manuscripts, data, and unpublished work you share with us are treated as confidential. We use them only to provide the services you have engaged us for, and we do not publish or share them without your consent.
Data sharing
We share information only with the specialists working on your project and with service providers who help us operate (for example, originality-checking tools), under appropriate confidentiality obligations. We may disclose information where required by law.
Data retention & security
We retain your information for as long as needed to provide our services and meet legal obligations, then delete or anonymise it. We apply reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data.
Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your personal information, or to object to certain processing. Contact us to exercise these rights.
