ResearchID.co helps researchers create public academic profiles and helps visitors discover researchers, publications, identifiers, institutions, countries, and journals. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what choices you have.
If you register or update a ResearchID profile, we may collect profile and account information such as your name, email address, affiliation, country, research interests, biography, profile photo, website links, ORCID, Scopus Author ID, Google Scholar profile, ResearchGate profile, publication details, and other academic identifiers or links you submit.
If you contact us, we may keep your email address and message so we can respond to your request.
ResearchID profiles are intended to be public. Information you submit for a public profile may be displayed on ResearchID.co, shared through profile pages, and indexed by search engines. Do not add information to your profile that you do not want to be publicly visible.
When you visit ResearchID.co, our server and service providers may collect technical information such as IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, pages visited, date and time of visit, and approximate location derived from network information.
We use information to create and maintain researcher profiles, support login and account features, operate expert and journal search, improve website performance, prevent abuse, respond to support requests, and understand how ResearchID.co is used.
ResearchID.co may use cookies or local browser storage for login, security, preferences, analytics consent, and site functionality. You can control cookies through your browser settings, but some features may not work correctly if cookies are disabled.
ResearchID.co may use Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity to understand aggregate site usage and improve page quality. Where consent is required, these analytics tools are loaded only after you accept analytics from the consent banner. If you decline, analytics tools are not loaded for that browser unless you later change your choice.
ResearchID.co may display ads through third-party partners, including Google. Advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies to serve ads, limit repeated ads, detect invalid activity, and measure ad performance. Google may process data according to its own privacy terms.
For more information about how Google uses data, visit Google Privacy Policy and Google Advertising Policies.
We may share information with service providers that help us host, secure, analyze, and operate ResearchID.co. We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect the security of the website, or to prevent misuse.
You may update profile information through your account where available. You may request profile correction, blocking, or removal by contacting us. You may also manage cookies, advertising settings, and analytics choices through your browser and the consent banner.
We keep information for as long as needed to operate ResearchID.co, maintain public profiles, provide support, prevent abuse, or meet legal and operational requirements. Public profile data may remain available until it is updated, blocked, or removed.
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information. No website or internet transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. The latest version will be posted on this page with an updated date.
For privacy questions or profile removal requests, contact privacy@researchid.co.
