Privacy & Data

A plain statement of what ResearchWise stores, where it lives, and how it is used. Last updated August 2026.

What we store

Your account information: the email address and password credentials you sign up with, managed by Supabase Auth (passwords are hashed and never visible to us).

In the current version, that is all. As features ship, the platform will also store: research publications (PDFs) you choose to upload, the research profile extracted from them and your edits to it, and the grants you save or dismiss. This page will be updated before each of those ships.

We never store or process student records, grades, advising notes, disability information, financial aid information, or protected health information. The platform only ever touches published research and public grant and funding data.

Where it's stored

All data lives in a Supabase project (Postgres database and file storage) tied to this application. Uploaded files, once upload ships, will be stored in a private Supabase Storage bucket accessible only to your account.

Retention and deletion

Your data is retained for as long as your account exists. Deleting a publication removes the file and its extracted profile data. Deleting your account removes all of your data. To request deletion, contact us at the address on your account emails.

AI processing

Content you upload is processed by Anthropic's Claude API to extract your research profile and generate visibility materials. What's sent: the text of the publications you upload and the profile fields derived from them. Anthropic does not train its models on API content, and we do not use your content to train models of any kind.

Security

Access to your data is protected by Supabase authentication and row-level security, so your records and files are only readable by your own account. All traffic is encrypted in transit over HTTPS.
