1. Information We Collect

To provide account login, tracking synchronization, avatar display, membership recognition, and reading-status synchronization, we may collect information you provide, such as nickname, email, avatar, third-party login identifiers, and necessary logs, device identifiers, and operation records generated while you use the product.

When you use academic tracking, summary generation, or reading synchronization, we may also process data related to tracking topics you create, reading records, favorite preferences, and interactions to provide core functions, improve the product experience, and protect service security.

2. How We Use Information

We use information only as necessary to provide product functions, improve service experience, protect account and system security, and meet legal requirements. This includes identifying users, synchronizing account data, saving tracking topics, displaying membership status, troubleshooting, optimizing performance, and preventing abnormal access.

Without your consent, we will not use personal information for purposes unrelated to Research Radar’s core services, and we will not sell it to third parties.

3. How We Store and Protect Information

We retain information for the shortest period needed for the purpose and take reasonable technical and management measures, including access control, permission management, transmission protection, and log auditing, to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or loss.

When the retention period ends or you lawfully request deletion, we will delete or anonymize information according to applicable law and technical feasibility.

4. How We Share, Transfer, and Disclose Information

In principle, we do not share, transfer, or publicly disclose your personal information to third parties, except where:

  1. You give explicit authorization or consent;
  2. It is needed to perform legal obligations or respond to regulatory or judicial procedures;
  3. It is necessary to protect the major lawful interests of you, other users, or the public;
  4. Necessary security audits, troubleshooting, and service support are conducted in compliance with law.

For third-party service providers, we will require them to perform appropriate data-protection obligations to the necessary extent and try to ensure lawful and secure processing.
