Privacy Policy

At After OCR, we respect your privacy and understand that, as a researcher, the confidentiality of your sources is critical. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and protect your information.

We may collect the following types of information:

• Personal Data: Name, email address, academic institution (if applicable), and billing details necessary to process your order.

• User Content: Images, PDF files, manuscripts, and documents you upload or send to us for processing ("Research Documents").

We use your information exclusively to:

• Provide the contracted transcription and data structuring services.

• Communicate with you regarding the status of your project.

• Manage billing and accounting compliance.

• Improve the accuracy of our services (strictly through internal analysis, without sharing data externally).

To ensure quality, our service employs a process of "Meticulous Human Verification." This means that:

• Your documents may be viewed by our transcription specialists to correct errors that OCR software cannot resolve.

• Protection: All our specialists are subject to strict Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) and are prohibited from copying, downloading (to personal devices), or sharing any part of your documents.

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information or your documents. We only share data with trusted service providers necessary to operate, such as:

• Web Hosting: Wix.com (the platform hosting this site).

• Payment Processors: (e.g., PayPal, Stripe) to manage secure transactions.

• Cloud Storage: Secure providers for large file transfers (e.g., Google Drive, Dropbox, AWS), always under encrypted protocols.

We implement technical and organizational security measures to protect your information:

• Use of SSL/TLS encryption for data transfer.

• Restricted access controls to project files.

• Scheduled deletion of documents following service completion.

Despite these measures, no transmission over the Internet is 100% secure; therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

We retain your personal data while your account is active or as needed to provide you services. Research Documents and their transcripts are deleted from our active systems 30 days after final delivery, unless you request immediate deletion or extended storage.

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.

• Request the correction or deletion of your data.

• Withdraw your consent for data processing at any time.

Our website (hosted on Wix) uses essential cookies for site functionality and analytical cookies to understand how users interact with our web. You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings.

We reserve the right to modify this policy at any time. Changes will take effect immediately upon their posting on the website.
