Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to the website Sci-Hive (the "Site") and governs the collection, processing, and usage of personal data through the Google OAuth login service. Sci-Hive is committed to protecting the privacy of its users. By using the Site and Google OAuth login, you consent to the data practices described in this statement.

Information Collection

When you use the Google OAuth login service on Sci-Hive, we may collect and process the following personal information from your Google account:

  • Your name
  • Your email address
  • Profile picture

This information is collected solely for the purpose of authenticating your identity and providing access to Sci-Hive's services.

Use of Information

The personal information collected through Google OAuth login may be used for the following purposes:

  • Authenticating your identity to provide access to Sci-Hive's services.
  • Communicating with you regarding your account and any updates to our services.
  • Improving and personalizing your experience on the Site.
  • Conducting data analysis and research to enhance our services.
Data Security

Sci-Hive takes appropriate measures to protect the security of your personal information. We use industry-standard encryption technologies and follow best practices to safeguard your data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. However, we may share your information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating the Site or conducting our business, provided that they agree to keep this information confidential and use it only for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy.

Third-Party Links

The Site may contain links to third-party websites or services that are not owned or controlled by Sci-Hive. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these third-party sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

Cookies and Analytics

The Site sets a few cookies of its own that it needs to work, such as your sign-in session, protection for the forms you submit and your language. A cookie named analytics_consent remembers for a year whether you accepted analytics.

The Site uses Google Analytics to count visits and see which pages help people. Its script loads on every page, but until you accept analytics it sets no cookies and sends Google only anonymous signals with no identifier. If you accept, Google Analytics sets its own cookies (named _ga, kept for up to two years), and Google receives the pages you visit, your IP address and information about your device and browser. We do not use it for advertising. You can change your mind at any time with Cookie settings at the bottom of every page: choosing "No thanks" also removes the Google Analytics cookies.

For any question about your data, or to ask for a copy or the deletion of it, email [email protected].

Changes to this Privacy Policy

Sci-Hive reserves the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time. Any changes will be effective immediately upon posting on this page. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any updates.
