Privacy Policy
Effective Date: October 2026 • Edu.aratha Platform
1. Our Fundamental Commitment to Privacy
Edu.aratha is built with a privacy-first ethos. We do not monetize personal learner data, sell reading logs to advertisers, or track you across the internet. Public educational discovery remains free without requiring surveillance advertising.
2. Research Notes and Private Workspaces
All research notes, hypothesis formulations, literature review folders, and reading list statuses created within your workspace remain strictly private to your account. We never expose student research questions to other users, search crawlers, or third parties.
3. Data Portability and GDPR Compliance
You maintain 100% ownership of your scholarly data. At any time via your Personal Dashboard, you can export all bookmarks, research project bibliographies, and notes as a standardized JSON or BibTeX file with a single click.
4. Third-Party Academic APIs
When searching external repositories via OpenAlex or Crossref, query strings are sent directly to official public academic index endpoints to retrieve citations. No identifiable user profile tokens or personal credentials are transmitted.
