Privacy

Your experiments, data and write-ups are saved in your own browser. There is no analytics and no advertising, and there is no account at all.

What is stored, and where

Experiments, datasets, graphs, write-ups and your conversations with the lab partner are stored by your browser on your own device, using IndexedDB and local storage. Nobody else can read them, including us — they never leave the machine you are sitting at. Clearing your browser's site data deletes them, and nothing can bring them back, so export anything you care about.

What leaves your browser, and only when you ask

Two things, both of which you start deliberately. If you connect an AI account, your question and the conversation it belongs to are sent through this site's server to the provider you chose — Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, xAI or OpenRouter — and their own privacy policy applies to it from there. Your key travels with the request and is forwarded and dropped: nothing stores it, logs it or writes it beside your work.

If you look up a source by DOI, ISBN or web address, that identifier is sent through the server to CrossRef, Open Library or the page itself. That request is made by the server rather than by your browser, which keeps your address out of it.

What this site's own server keeps

Nothing. The part of this site that forwards your questions and looks up your sources holds no database and writes no files. It counts requests in memory to stop anyone flooding it, and that count is forgotten when it restarts. Ordinary web server logs may record that a request happened; they do not contain your work.

Cookies

There are none, and there is no consent banner because there is nothing to consent to.

Children

This is built for students, and it is designed so that using it requires giving up nothing: no name, no age, and no email address. The less that is collected, the less there is to protect, and that is the reason it was built this way.
