1) What we do
ML Scientist curates and publishes the latest academic opportunities (e.g., conferences/CFPs, PhD scholarships, postdocs, academic jobs) sourced from publicly available information. We also operate a store for downloadable digital products.
2) What we collect (minimal data)
We do not collect personal data beyond what is needed for normal web browsing and secure purchases.
- Browsing data (standard): IP address, device/browser type, pages viewed, timestamps, and basic cookies required for the Site to function.
- Purchases (downloadable products): Order metadata (product, price, time) and your email for delivery/receipts if you provide it at checkout. We do not store payment card numbers. Payments are processed securely by PayPal.
- Voluntary communications: If you email us, we receive your email address and message content.
- Custom GPTs: Our GPTs call read-only endpoints to retrieve public posts. We do not store your prompts or responses on our servers.
3) How we use information
- Provide and improve the Site and content.
- Fulfil orders for digital downloads and send receipts or download links.
- Respond to support enquiries.
- Maintain security, prevent abuse, and comply with law.
4) Sharing and disclosure
We do not sell personal data and do not share it for advertising.
We may disclose limited data only to essential service providers acting on our behalf, solely to operate the Site and store—e.g., web hosting, content delivery, email service, and PayPal for payments. These providers are bound by confidentiality and process data only under our instructions or their role as payment processors.
5) Cookies and similar technologies
We use essential cookies for basic Site functions (e.g., session, checkout). If we introduce non-essential/analytics cookies in the future, we will update this Policy and, where required, seek consent.
6) Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures, including HTTPS across the Site, access controls, and key/secret rotation for our APIs. No method is 100% secure; please use the Site responsibly and contact us if you suspect an issue.
7) Data retention
We keep data only as long as needed for the purposes above, then delete or anonymize it in line with our retention practices and legal requirements.
8) Children
Our Site is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required by local law). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
9) Custom GPT notice
Interactions with our public/custom GPTs occur on OpenAI’s systems and are governed by OpenAI’s terms and privacy policy. We do not receive your OpenAI account details and do not store your prompts/responses on our servers. Avoid sharing sensitive information in prompts.
