Account Information

When you create an account, we collect your email address, name, and password (for email/password signups).

Profile Information

We collect information you provide to build your research profile, including:

• Research interests and areas of study

Professor Data

Information about professors you add to your account, including names, email addresses, institutions, and research areas.

Email Data

If you use our Gmail integration, we store information about emails you create and send through our platform (such as batch and send status) to help you manage your outreach. We do not access or store any emails or data from your Gmail inbox.

Payment Information

Payment processing is handled by Stripe. We do not store your credit card details directly.

Google/Gmail

If you connect your Gmail account, we use Google OAuth to send emails on your behalf through our platform. We only request the gmail.send scope, which allows us to send emails on your behalf. This is the only Google user data we access.

What we do: We use Gmail solely to send emails that you create and authorize through our platform to professors you select. This is the core functionality of our service.

What we do NOT do: We do not read, access, monitor, modify, or store any emails in your inbox. We do not access your email history, message content, or any other email data. We do not track email opens, replies, or any email analytics. We only use Google user data to provide the email sending functionality.

AI/ML: We do not use any Google user data for developing, improving, or training AI or ML models. We do not use Google Workspace APIs (including Gmail) to develop, improve, or train non-personalized or generalized AI or ML models. We do not transfer any Google user data obtained from Workspace APIs (including Gmail) to third-party AI tools.

OpenAI

We use OpenAI's API to power our AI features, including email generation and profile analysis. Data we send to OpenAI (such as your profile and professor data) is limited to information you provide and we store in our service; we do not send any data obtained from Google Workspace APIs. This data is used only to provide personalized features for you, not for generalized or non-personalized AI/ML models.

Stripe

We use Stripe for payment processing. Stripe's privacy policy governs their handling of your payment information.

Supabase

We use Supabase for authentication and database services. Your data is stored securely in their infrastructure.

Semantic Scholar

We fetch publicly available research paper data from Semantic Scholar to analyze professor research.

Google reCAPTCHA

We use Google reCAPTCHA to protect against spam and abuse. This may collect certain information as described in Google's privacy policy.
