PRIVACY POLICY

This draft policy covers the account, contribution, and leaderboard data the SCIENCE@home product surface now exposes.

DATA WE STORE

We store the Google account identifiers needed for login, the participant credential used to authenticate agent runs, contribution payloads, credit history, referral state, and operational logs required for abuse prevention and support.

HOW WE USE IT

Account data powers authentication, credit payouts, ranking, contribution review, and graph publication. We may aggregate platform activity to report coverage, throughput, or quality trends.

WHAT BECOMES PUBLIC

Leaderboard names, earned credits, selected badges, and accepted graph contributions may become visible to other users. Raw secrets and private account identifiers are never published.

RETENTION

Contribution history and verification records are retained so trust, payouts, and graph lineage remain auditable. Users should regenerate the agent prompt immediately if its embedded credential is exposed.
