Privacy Policy
Last updated: 8 June 2026
This policy explains what personal data antevel collects, why, and your rights over it. antevel (antevel.com) is the data controller. Contact: antevel.api@gmail.com.
1. Data we collect
- Account: your email address and a securely hashed password.
- Your content: the topics, filters, and preferences you create.
- Technical: limited logs and your IP address, used to keep the Service secure and to enforce rate limits.
- Billing: handled by our payment processor; we do not store your card details.
2. What we do NOT do
We do not sell your personal data. We do not use advertising or third-party analytics trackers, and we do not store data in your browser beyond the essential session and CSRF cookies needed to keep you signed in securely.
3. How we use your data and legal bases
We process your data to provide the Service (authentication, your topics, dashboards and alerts) - performance of our contract with you; to keep the Service secure and prevent abuse - our legitimate interest; and to send transactional emails such as password resets - performance of the contract. Where we ever rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time.
4. The research data in antevel
antevel aggregates public research metadata about grants, trials, preprints, and datasets. This may include the names of investigators, institutions, and funders that are already publicly published by the original sources. We obtain it only from public sources and links (e.g. OpenAlex); it is professional, already-public information and is not collected from you.
5. Service providers
We rely on a small set of processors to run antevel: hosting (Railway), transactional email (Resend), and payments (Creem), plus the public data APIs listed in our Terms. They process data only to provide their service to us, under their own agreements.
6. Cookies
We use strictly necessary cookies only: a session cookie to keep you signed in and a CSRF cookie to protect against cross-site request forgery. No marketing or analytics cookies are set.
7. Retention
We keep your account data for as long as your account is active, and delete or anonymize it within a reasonable period after you delete your account. Security logs are kept only short-term.
8. Your rights
Under the GDPR you have the right to access, correct, delete, port, restrict, or object to the processing of your personal data. Email antevel.api@gmail.com to exercise them. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority - in France, the CNIL.
9. Security
We protect data in transit with HTTPS, store passwords only as salted hashes, and follow a least-data approach - we collect only what the Service needs.
10. International transfers
Some providers may process data outside the EEA. Where that happens, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as the European Commission standard contractual clauses.
11. Children
antevel is intended for professional and research use and is not directed at children under the age of majority.
12. Changes
We may update this policy as the Service evolves; the date above reflects the latest version.
