Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

NGXT Inc. ("we," "our," or "us") operates RapidReview, a suite of research and academic tools accessible at rapidreview.io and its subdomains (collectively, the "Services"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use any of our Services.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

• Account information: When you sign in with Google or create an account with email, we collect your name, email address, and profile picture (if available).
• User-generated content: Search queries, saved lists, collections, and any other content you create within our Services.

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

• Usage data: We collect information about how you interact with our Services, including pages visited, features used, search queries, items viewed, clicks, navigation patterns, and time spent on various sections.
• Device and browser information: IP address, browser type, operating system, device type, screen resolution, and referring URLs.
• Cookies and similar technologies: We use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies to maintain your session, remember preferences, and collect usage analytics.

2.3 Information from Third Parties

When you authenticate via Google OAuth, we receive your basic profile information (name, email, profile picture) as authorized by your Google account settings. We do not access your Google contacts, calendar, or any other Google services beyond authentication.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, operate, and maintain our Services and their features
• Authenticate your identity and manage your account across our products
• Save your search history, lists, preferences, and other user data
• Analyze user behavior and usage patterns to improve our services, features, and user experience
• Develop new features and functionality based on usage trends
• Monitor and analyze usage metrics and performance
• Detect, prevent, and address technical issues or abuse
• Communicate with you about service updates or changes
• Comply with legal obligations

4. User Behavior Tracking

We track and analyze user behavior across our Services to continuously improve the quality and relevance of our products. This includes monitoring how you interact with our tools and features — for example, which items you view and save, your search patterns, how you navigate visualizations, and how you use AI-powered features. This data helps us optimize algorithms, improve recommendations, enhance user interfaces, and develop new products and features.

Behavioral data may be analyzed in aggregate (non-identifiable) form for research and product improvement purposes. We may also use individual-level behavioral data to personalize your experience.

5. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information with:

• Service providers: Third-party vendors who assist in operating our service (e.g., hosting, authentication, analytics), subject to confidentiality obligations.
• Legal requirements: When required by law, regulation, or legal process, or to protect our rights, safety, or property.
• Business transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
• Aggregated data: We may share aggregated, non-identifiable usage statistics and trends publicly or with partners.

6. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored on cloud infrastructure and protected using industry-standard security measures including encryption in transit (TLS) and at rest. While we implement reasonable safeguards, no method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Data Retention

We retain your account information and associated data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with our Services. Usage data may be retained for analytics and service improvement purposes even after account deletion, in aggregated or anonymized form. You may request deletion of your personal data by contacting us.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your personal data
• Object to or restrict processing of your data
• Request portability of your data
• Withdraw consent at any time (where processing is based on consent)

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at the email address below.

9. Third-Party Services

Our Services integrate with third-party services including Google (for authentication), cloud infrastructure providers (for data storage), and Google Vertex AI (for AI-powered features). These services have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party services.

10. Children's Privacy

Our Services are not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected personal data from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete that information.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
