Account Details: When you register, we collect your email address, display name, and a securely salted/hashed password.
Research Contributions: Public chat messages, community insights, votes, and steering prompts submitted by your account.
Transaction Data: If you purchase Research Credits, payment transactions are handled directly by our PCI-DSS compliant processor (Stripe). We do not store raw credit card numbers.

2. How We Use Your Information

To provide and authenticate access to the live research environment.
To attribute research insights and enforce our Academic Co-Authorship Guarantee for verified mathematical discoveries.
To prevent platform abuse, spam, automated scraping, and unauthorized access.
To send essential transactional notifications (such as email verification and password resets).

3. Essential Cookies & Local Storage

We exclusively use strictly necessary, HTTP-only session cookies (millennium_session) to maintain secure authentication state.

We do not use third-party tracking cookies, profiling pixels, or targeted advertising cookies.

4. Third-Party Service Providers

We share data only with essential infrastructure providers required to operate the service:

Supabase: Managed PostgreSQL database hosting user records and research history.
Stripe: Payment processing for credit purchases.
Resend: Transactional email delivery for account verification and password resets.

5. Data Retention & Security

We implement industry-standard cryptographic practices (including bcrypt password hashing and TLS/HTTPS encryption in transit).

Mathematical contributions submitted to public streams become part of the immutable scientific record to preserve research attribution.

6. Your Rights & Inquiries

Depending on your location (including GDPR and CCPA jurisdictions), you have the right to request access to your personal data, request correction of inaccuracies, or request account deletion.
