Privacy Policy
Effective date: October 10, 2026
How ResearchToDeck collects, uses, stores, and shares information.
1. Information We Collect
We collect account information, authentication metadata, the paper and optional materials you provide, your audience and requested scope, delivery files, account activity, support messages, and billing records. Website usage information may include page visits, session identifiers, and session recordings. Our payment processor handles payment card details; we do not store full card numbers.
2. How We Use Information
We use information to provide the service, retrieve and understand your submitted paper, prepare and review your deck, deliver files, administer accounts and purchases, respond to support requests, prevent abuse, and improve and develop our products and services, including the accuracy and performance of our presentation systems.
3. How We Share Information
We share information with service providers that support cloud infrastructure, authentication, AI processing, payment processing, email delivery, usage analytics, session recording, and error monitoring. Authorized reviewers may access your materials to prepare, verify, or correct your deck. We may change providers from time to time without notice. We do not sell personal information. We may disclose information when required by law or necessary to protect users, the service, or our legal rights.
4. Sensitive Data
The standard service is not a HIPAA-covered environment. Do not upload patient identifiers, protected health information, confidential personal records, or other regulated data. Use research papers and materials that you have permission to provide. We do not offer a private deployment or make a regulatory compliance certification through this service.
5. Data Retention
We retain information while needed to provide the service and meet legal, accounting, security, and operational obligations. You may request account or material deletion by contacting support. Some information may need to be retained to meet legal obligations or resolve disputes. We do not promise an automatic deletion period.
6. Security
We use technical and organizational measures designed to protect information, including access controls and encrypted transport. No storage or transmission system is perfectly secure, and absolute security is not guaranteed. Keep your account credentials secure and contact support if you suspect unauthorized access.
7. Your Choices and Rights
You may request access, correction, or deletion of your personal information by contacting support from the email associated with your account. We may need to verify your identity. You may unsubscribe from nonessential marketing communications where offered; necessary service messages may continue.
8. US State Privacy Rights
Depending on your residence, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or obtain a copy of personal information, and to opt out of certain processing. We do not sell personal information or use it for targeted advertising. Contact support to exercise applicable rights or appeal a request decision. We respond as required by applicable law.
9. International Data Transfers
We and our service providers may process information in countries outside your residence. We use contractual and operational safeguards designed to protect transferred personal information.
10. Children
The service is intended for people aged 18 or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Contact support if you believe a child has provided personal information.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy. The effective date identifies the current version. We will provide notice of material changes by email or in the service where required. Your continued use is subject to the updated policy.
