Data used to provide IntegriCite

Administrator account information

When an authorised journal administrator signs in with Google or LinkedIn, IntegriCite receives the profile information made available by that provider, such as a provider account identifier, name and email address. This information is used to authenticate the administrator, check journal access and operate the account.

The identity provider handles the sign-in step under its own privacy terms. IntegriCite does not receive the administrator’s Google or LinkedIn password.

Manuscripts and reference data

Uploaded document content is processed to extract and screen references. Uploaded files and full manuscript text are not retained as durable account records. Extracted reference data and report output are held in temporary job storage so that progress and results can be delivered; that job data expires under the service’s configured time limit.

Small, targeted pieces of reference information may be sent to configured scholarly databases, legal and web-search services, and AI processing providers where needed for a particular screening task. No AI provider is sent the full manuscript.

Operational information

IntegriCite retains limited operational records needed for access control, service security, quota management, troubleshooting and delivery. These may include email address, sign-in times, journal membership, run status, usage counts, API-token totals and cacheable bibliographic entries. Operational event records do not include document body text, bibliography text, prompts or model responses.

Cookies

Necessary session cookies keep administrators signed in and protect the OAuth sign-in flow. IntegriCite does not use advertising or tracking cookies. More detail is available in the cookie policy.

Retention and questions

Uploaded manuscript content and completed job data are temporary. The retention of limited account, cache and operational records follows the configuration needed to provide and support each journal’s service.
