Privacy Policy

What Midrib collects, why, and who it's shared with.

What we collect

Account details: your name, email and password (stored in a form we can't read back).
What you tell us at sign-up: your birthdate, address, and what you're using Midrib for.
Your work: project names and goals, drafts, notes, comments, uploaded files, links and reference libraries.
Your own API key, if you add one. After you save it, it's never shown again, only its last four characters.
Messages you send us through Contact us.
Your name and email, if you join the waitlist.
Settings kept in your browser, such as your theme and view choices.

Why we use it

To run the service: build your graphs, check citations, give feedback and writing help
To keep your account secure
To answer your messages
To tailor suggestions to what you told us you're using Midrib for

Who it's shared with

AI model providers, to run writing help: Midrib's default model provider on Pro, or the provider of your own key.
Research databases, with your search terms, to find papers.
Service providers that host and run Midrib for us, under contract. [List to be set.]

We don't sell your personal information. [Confirm, and add any other uses, before publishing.]

Children

Midrib isn't for anyone under 13. Sign-up asks for your birthdate to check this.

Your choices

You can change your name, email and password, and remove your API key, in Settings. You can delete your account there too. The Data Privacy page explains your rights and how to use them.
