Privacy Policy
Effective Date: July 6th, 2025
We are the team behind CSPaper (https://cspaper.org), a platform designed to help authors improve their chances of acceptance at top-tier computer science conferences by providing AI-generated, conference-style feedback on draft papers.
What Information We Collect
- Your email address
- Your uploaded manuscript file (PDF or arXiv draft)
- Contextual information (e.g., selected target conference, review preferences)
How We Use This Information
- To process your manuscript and generate a tailored feedback report
- To communicate with you (e.g., updates or follow-ups on your submission)
- To debug issues and improve our services, which may include reviewing individual manuscripts and reports internally
How We Store and Protect Data
- We implement reasonable measures to protect your data from unauthorized access or disclosure.
- Your manuscript files are temporarily stored on our secure servers provided by third-party cloud storage providers to facilitate processing.
- Manuscripts are processed automatically using large language models (LLMs), to generate feedback reports.
- We do not retain manuscript files longer than necessary to complete processing and deliver your feedback.
- With your consent, we may also contact you occasionally with announcements, product updates, or optional surveys to help improve CSPaper.
Sharing of Information
We do not use your manuscript data to train third-party models or sell your data.
We utilize well-known cloud service providers and LLMs solely to operate CSPaper (https://cspaper.org):
- Microsoft Azure (or equivalent cloud storage) for temporary file hosting of your uploaded manuscripts.
- We use LLMs to automatically process manuscript content. We guarantee that your manuscript data will not be used for training or fine-tuning any of those LLMs.
- All uploaded PDFs and review reports are private and will never be shared publicly. We may review individual manuscripts internally to debug issues and improve the performance and accuracy of our service.
- By submitting your manuscript, you consent to its storage on secure cloud servers and processing by CSPaper.
Your Rights
- You can delete your review data, including the uploaded paper and its associated results. From the review results page of any paper, click the "..." (three-dot) menu and select "Delete" to remove all data linked to that review.
- You can contact us at support@cspaper.org to request deletion of your account.
- You may opt out of non-essential communications (e.g., updates, surveys) at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in the email or notifying us via email.
