What we store

• Email address, used to sign you in and as your account identifier.
• Usage counts per month and tool, used to apply plan limits.
• Licence status: a hash of your licence key, the payment provider's key id and the plan it grants. The key itself is not kept.
• Libraries: the library names and, for each saved reference, the bibliographic record returned by the source (title, authors, journal or publisher, year, identifiers).
• A shared cache of public bibliographic records, keyed by DOI, ISBN or arXiv id, with no account information.
• Exported files: the generated BibTeX, RIS, CSL-JSON or text file.
• Short-lived sign-in codes (stored hashed, deleted after use or after 10 minutes) and OAuth tokens (stored hashed).

What we do not store

We do not store the contents of your conversations with Claude. We only receive the arguments Claude sends to a tool, such as a URL or a domain name.

Retention

• Account, usage and licence records are kept while the account exists. Email contact@digitalshijil.com to have them deleted; we act within 30 days.
• Hosted reports expire 90 days after creation and are then deleted.
• Libraries and saved references are kept until you delete them with the remove tool or ask for account deletion.
• Cached bibliographic records are deleted 30 days after they were fetched. Exported files are deleted after 90 days.

Sale and sharing

We do not sell personal data and do not use it for advertising. Data is shared only with the subprocessors below, to run the service.

Subprocessors

• Cloudflare, Inc.: hosting, database and network.

Requests we make on your behalf

Tools fetch public web addresses or DNS records that you ask about. Requests identify themselves as TidyButtonBot/1.0 (+https://cite.tidybutton.com/bot), respect robots.txt where crawling applies and never target private network addresses.
