Privacy Policy

Vitaebase is provided by [legal entity name to be added], [registered address to be added] ("Vitaebase", "we", "us"). This policy applies to everyone who uses vitaebase.com, whether or not you create an account.

The research map, topic and study pages, search, and browsing the evidence base are all available without creating an account. Submitting a topic or feature suggestion, or upvoting one, also doesn't require an account — in that case we use a temporary, anonymous session identifier (created via our authentication provider) instead of any personal information, just to prevent duplicate votes.

Creating a Vitaebase account is required for Premium features. We store:

• Your email address, and — if you sign in with Google — the name and profile picture Google shares with us.
• Content you create: saved topics and studies, personal notes and pins on them, research collections, your research alert preferences and the update notifications generated for you, and a short history of items you've recently viewed.
• If you subscribe to Premium: your plan, trial and billing period dates, and subscription status.

Premium subscriptions are billed through Stripe, our payment processor. Your card details are entered directly into Stripe's checkout and are never seen or stored by Vitaebase — we only store the resulting subscription status, plan and billing dates, and the Stripe identifiers needed to manage your subscription. Your email address is shared with Stripe to create your billing profile.

Vitaebase does not use advertising cookies or third-party analytics or tracking scripts. Our authentication provider stores your session in your browser's local storage so you stay signed in between visits. If you pick a Premium plan before signing up, it's held briefly in your browser's session storage so you land back on checkout after creating your account.

The following third parties process data on our behalf, only as needed to run Vitaebase:

• Supabase — database hosting and account authentication.
• Stripe — Premium subscription payments and billing.
• Google — optional sign-in, if you choose to use it.
• Vercel — application hosting.

You can permanently delete your account at any time from your profile. This immediately removes your login credentials along with your saved topics, saved studies, notes, collections, recently viewed history, alert settings and subscription record. Any topic or feature suggestion you submitted stays visible on the public suggestions board but is no longer linked to your account.

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct or delete your personal data, or to object to how it's processed. You can exercise most of this yourself from your profile, or reach out via our contact page.

We may update this policy as Vitaebase changes. We'll update the "last updated" date above when we do.
