This policy explains what information collects on , why, and the choices you have. The site is run by the project, based in Washington State, USA. In this policy, “we” and “us” mean the project.

- When you use the assistant: the questions you ask, the answers you receive, the sources cited, and any rating or comment you give. These are saved with your account.
- When you review material (approved reviewers only): your verdicts, tags, notes and corrections.
Signing in sets a single cookie that keeps you signed in. We use no advertising, tracking or analytics cookies.
How we use it

- To contact you about the service, for example when you are given access.
We do not sell or rent your information, and we do not use it for advertising.
Who can see it
