Privacy Policy
Scope and Data Collected: research.help collects only what you provide voluntarily — your name and college email address (for the weekly newsletter). We do not require any other personal data to use the site. All data collection is opt-in(you choose to subscribe) and is limited to academic email addresses to verify student/research affiliation. We explain why we collect each piece of information when you submit it.
Use and Storage of Data: We use your name and email only to send the free newsletter and to personalize your experience. Your data is stored securely on encrypted servers and is accessible only to authorized staff. We do not sell, trade, or share your personal information with unaffiliated third parties. The only exceptions are trusted service providers (e.g. email service) who act on our behalf under confidentiality agreements.
Your Rights: You have full control over your data. You may access, correct, or delete your personal information at any time by contacting us. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter or delete your account with a simple request. Under global privacy laws (for example, the EU’s GDPR and California’s CCPA) you have rights to data access, correction, deletion, and data portabilitytermly.iotermly.io. In practice, this means you can ask us what data we have about you, correct errors, or ask us to erase your data. We do not charge a fee for these requests.
Compliance: We comply with major privacy laws worldwide. For example, the European GDPR and California’s CCPA require clear notices and data controlstermly.io, and COPPA (U.S.) imposes special rules for children’s datatermly.io. Although we are not targeted to children, we follow these laws wherever they apply. We periodically review our privacy practices to meet evolving legal standards globally.
Contact: If you have questions or privacy concerns, please contact us at privacy@research.help. This is the best way to ask about your data or our practices. We will respond promptly and transparently.
