Privacy

These facts are compiled into the app and checked when it starts, so this page cannot drift from what the deployment does.

Who runs this app

Duke University, in Azure, East US 2.

Who reads your pasted text

OpenAI, processing in United States, for the item judgements only. Each call asks the provider not to store the text (storage flag: off).

How long the provider may hold a copy

Up to 30 days, for abuse monitoring, then deleted. A person last read the provider's terms and confirmed this on 2026-10-10.

What this app keeps

The report for each paste: item statuses, the lines from your draft that each finding quotes, and the arithmetic checks. Also a hash of the text, its word count, the time, your design choices, your one-sentence question, and the taps you make. Nothing else from the draft.

What this app never keeps

The pasted text itself. Your name, email address, or any identifier from the course site: the launch gives this app a one-way hash of your course identity.

Logs

Request paths and timings. No draft text appears in any log.

Deleting

You can delete one paper, or everything this app holds about you, at any time. Deletion is immediate and not reversible.

This term

The tool reads study proposals (protocol mode) for a course. Nothing goes back to the course site: no marks, no results, no record of use.
