Privacy Policy
This page describes how the ClarityScholar website handles information at its current stage of development.
Last updated: 15 October 2026
This is a pre-launch policy. It describes the website as it works today. Indexing stays off until hosting, vendors, retention, and a verified privacy contact are settled and the policy is approved.
Overview
ClarityScholar aims to collect only the information needed to operate this website and, later, to provide support someone has asked for.
Online assessment delivery and online contact delivery are not connected. Entering those forms does not send the details to an email service, a helpdesk, or a database.
Information you provide
Most pages are read-only. The Free Assessment and Contact forms are the places where the site currently asks for information you type.
The site does not ask for a phone number, a home address, a student ID, or payment-card details.
The Free Assessment form asks for:
- Full name and email address
- Document type, academic level, and subject area
- The main type of support
- Current stage, if you choose to give it
- A deadline, if you choose to give one
- What you would like reviewed, and any guidelines or notes
- A confirmation that you should not include passwords or unnecessary personal information
The Contact form asks for:
- Full name and email address
- A reason for writing, chosen from a fixed list
- A message
Please do not include passwords, university or portal logins, payment-card details, government identification, or other personal information the question does not need.
Contact and assessment, at this stage
At the current pre-launch stage, details submitted on those forms are used by the application to check that the fields are valid, to apply anti-abuse checks, and to show you the result on the page.
They are not currently delivered to an external email provider, a CRM, or a helpdesk. The application does not intentionally write them to a database or to a local file.
A completed form is therefore not a message that has been received by a support team. The pages say so when you submit them.
The website does not currently accept academic document uploads through the Contact or Free Assessment forms. This policy will need to be updated before any upload feature goes live.
Technical information
Visiting the site involves ordinary web requests. The hosting environment and the application may process an IP address, browser or user-agent information, the requested address, the time of the request, and an HTTP status.
The site limits how often the assessment and contact forms can be submitted. That limit uses the connection address, so an IP address may be processed to reduce abuse. The application does not claim that this address is ignored.
If the site is later placed behind a proxy, the way the connection address is read may need to change. That is an operational task, not a promise about what a host logs.
Cookies
The site has not intentionally configured advertising cookies, behavioural-tracking cookies, or marketing cookies.
When a page includes the assessment or contact form, the application sets an essential cookie so it can check that a later submission came from that page. That cookie is part of the form-security check. It is not used to build an advertising profile.
The application can also use a short-lived essential cookie to carry a one-time confirmation after a submission that a delivery service has actually accepted. That path is not used while delivery is disconnected.
The site does not use a sign-in session, and the pages do not store form answers in browser storage.
How information is used
Today, information associated with a visit is used to show pages, validate the two forms, limit repeated submissions, and diagnose technical problems.
Once a real delivery service is connected, the same kinds of details may also be used to:
- Understand the type of support someone is asking about
- Reply to a question or an assessment request
- Keep a record for as long as a published retention practice allows
The forms do not currently collect a newsletter or promotional subscription. That statement is about these website forms. It is not a description of every future channel.
Information on the forms is not currently used to contact you, because there is nowhere configured for the form to send it.
Sharing
There is no assessment or contact provider configured, so those form details are not currently shared with an email, CRM, or helpdesk service.
Operating a website still involves a host. The name of the production host is not set in this project, so this policy does not name one. Hosting and any later service providers will need to be added here before the policy is indexed.
A detailed description of international transfers is also waiting on that hosting and vendor decision. This page does not describe a transfer mechanism.
The site may link to other websites. Their privacy practices are their own.
Third-party services
At the current stage, ClarityScholar has not intentionally configured a third-party behavioural analytics or advertising tracker. There is no payment processor and no CAPTCHA service in the project.
The pages load the Inter and Source Serif 4 typefaces from Google Fonts. Your browser requests those files from Google, which can expose technical request information, such as an IP address and a user agent, to that provider. This policy does not describe how Google handles that request.
Retention
The application does not intentionally keep Contact or Free Assessment submissions in a configured database, email archive, or file.
A formal retention period for technical logs has not been set. That period needs to be decided before production, including whatever the host keeps. This page will not invent a number of days.
Security
The website uses application measures that are actually built: a check that form posts come from the site, server-side validation, rate limiting, a hidden anti-bot field, a limit on which fields a form can set, and ordinary encoding of text on the page. Outside the development environment, the site redirects to HTTPS and asks browsers to keep using HTTPS.
No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure. This page does not claim a certification, end-to-end encryption, or a particular security standard.
Your choices
Depending on where you live, applicable law may give you rights concerning personal information, such as access, correction, deletion, or a limit on certain uses. The exact rights depend on that law.
A verified address for privacy requests is not published yet. The Contact page will list verified channels when they exist. Until then, this policy does not offer an email address for those requests.
Changes
This policy will be updated when the website's information-handling practices change, including before document upload, payment, or a live contact or assessment service is switched on.
The date at the top of the page will be revised when a material change is made. The site does not currently email people about policy changes.
Privacy questions
Privacy questions can be raised from the Contact page once a verified channel is listed there. The contact form itself does not deliver messages yet.
Related pages explain authorship boundaries and, when it exists, the terms of use.
