Beta privacy policy · September 12, 2026

Matcher inputs

In the current static beta, title and abstract text entered into the matcher are processed in the user’s browser. ScholarRounds does not transmit that manuscript text to a ScholarRounds server. The browser may store the most recent manuscript locally so journal detail pages can prefill the inquiry generator.

Forms

If you submit the newsletter, sponsor, contact, or community-data forms on a hosted deployment, the hosting/form provider may process the information you enter. Do not include patient information, confidential peer-review text, or unpublished manuscript content in community-data forms.

Analytics

ScholarRounds uses PostHog for basic product analytics such as page views and page exits. Autocapture and session replay are disabled so ScholarRounds does not intentionally send manuscript text, abstracts, form-field contents, or typed research content to PostHog. An anonymous browser identifier may be stored in local storage to understand repeat use. Browser Do Not Track settings are respected.

Advertising

Sponsored resources may link to third-party sites. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies. ScholarRounds does not permit sponsors to alter journal rankings.

Local storage

The site uses browser local storage for saved journals, the most recent manuscript form, and an anonymous analytics identifier. Users can clear site data through their browser settings.

Research and patient data

Do not enter protected health information (PHI), direct patient identifiers, confidential peer-review material, or other regulated or restricted data into ScholarRounds. The beta is not represented as a HIPAA-compliant clinical data system.
