Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 2026

What we collect

When you use the Manuscript Readiness Check tool, we collect:

  • Your email address: used so we can follow up with your report and relevant resources. You can unsubscribe at any time.
  • Your target journal name: used to personalize the analysis.
  • Your manuscript file: processed in memory to generate your readiness report. It is never written to disk or stored in any database.

When you submit a contact form or get a review, we also collect your name and any information you provide in your message.

How we use it

  • Your manuscript is analyzed using Anthropic's Claude API and then discarded. We do not store, log, or retain manuscript text.
  • Your manuscript content is never used to train any AI model, by us or by any third party.
  • Your email address is used to send your report results and may be used for follow-up about our review services. We do not sell or share your email with third parties.
  • We may use aggregated, anonymized usage data (e.g., number of submissions per week) to improve the tool.

Data retention

  • Manuscript content: Deleted immediately after analysis. Never stored.
  • Email addresses: Retained until you unsubscribe. You can request deletion at any time by emailing team@manusights.com.
  • Contact form submissions: Retained for up to 2 years for business purposes, then deleted.

Third-party services

We use the following services to operate the site:

  • Anthropic (Claude API): processes manuscript text for analysis. Anthropic's API terms prohibit using API inputs for model training.
  • Resend: delivers email notifications. Your email address is passed to Resend for delivery purposes.
  • Vercel: hosts the website. Vercel may collect standard server access logs (IP address, browser type, pages visited).
  • Supabase: used for reviewer portal authentication only. Not used to store manuscript data.
Anthropic

Anthropic Privacy Partnership

Manusights operates under a direct privacy partnership with Anthropic, the AI safety company that develops Claude. This is not a standard API integration. Zero-retention processing - where submitted content is never logged, stored, or used for model training - requires Anthropic's explicit approval and a contractual arrangement that most API users cannot access.

Under this arrangement, Anthropic contractually commits that manuscript content submitted through Manusights is:

  • Never stored or logged by Anthropic
  • Never used to train or fine-tune any AI model
  • Processed in memory only and discarded after analysis completes
  • Not accessible to Anthropic employees or any third party

This is the same data handling standard required by healthcare and legal AI deployments operating under HIPAA and attorney-client privilege constraints. We chose Anthropic specifically because their safety-first architecture and API terms make this level of privacy guarantee possible.
