Privacy policy

The Latest in AI is a research-discovery service operated from Australia. This policy explains the information handled when you browse the public index or create an account.

Information we collect

Account information includes your name, email address, optional profile details, authentication records, and active sessions. Product information includes topics you follow, papers you save or visit, reading states, collections, and research-agent conversations. Security logs may include an IP address, browser information, timestamps, and delivery errors.

How we use information

We use this information to authenticate you, personalize your feed, maintain your library, answer research questions, enforce usage limits, prevent abuse, diagnose failures, and communicate about account security. We do not sell personal information or use it for targeted advertising.

Service providers

We use infrastructure, database, email-delivery, and AI-model providers to operate the service. Research questions and the minimum relevant paper context may be sent to the configured AI provider to produce an answer. Providers process information under their own service terms and security practices.

Cookies

The site uses essential cookies for authentication, session security, and your theme preference. The current version does not require advertising cookies.

Retention and deletion

Account data is kept while your account is active. You can permanently delete your account from Account settings. Deletion removes active account and personal research data; encrypted or disaster-recovery backups may retain a copy until their normal rotation completes.

Your choices

You can update your profile, email, password, sessions, follows, and saved research from the site. You may also request access or correction by contacting support.
