Privacy Policy

Last updated: December 14, 2025

At Peerium ("we", "our", or "us"), we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your research data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our AI Paper Review Platform.

1. Zero-Retention Policy for Manuscripts

The core of our privacy commitment is our Zero-Retention Policy regarding your research manuscripts. When you upload a paper for review:

  • Your manuscript is processed in a stateless environment.
  • We do not use your submission to train our AI models.
  • Your file is encrypted in transit and at rest during the active review session.
  • Once the review session is closed or completed, the raw manuscript data is permanently deleted from our processing servers, unless you explicitly choose to save it to your private profile for future reference.

2. Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information:

  • Account Information: Name, email address, and institutional affiliation when you register.
  • Usage Data: Information about how you interact with our platform, such as feature usage and session duration.
  • Payment Information: We use third-party payment processors (e.g., Stripe) and do not store your full credit card details.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information to:

  • Provide and maintain our services.
  • Process your transactions.
  • Send you administrative updates and support messages.
  • Improve our platform's performance and user experience.

4. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures, including encryption, access controls, and regular security audits, to protect your personal information and research data.

5. Third-Party Services

Our platform may integrate with third-party LLM providers (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic) to generate reviews. We ensure that these partners adhere to strict data privacy standards and do not use your data for model training via our enterprise agreements.
