Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to twincite. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our citation generator service.

2. Data Collection

twincite is designed to be used without user accounts. We do not require you to sign up, log in, or provide any personal information such as your name, email address, or phone number to use our basic citation tools.

When you use our search features (e.g., searching by DOI, ISBN, or URL), we process these identifiers solely to retrieve the necessary bibliographic metadata from third-party APIs (like CrossRef, Google Books, or Semantic Scholar) to generate your citation.

3. Log Data and Analytics

Like most websites, we may collect information that your browser sends whenever you visit our site ("Log Data"). This Log Data may include information such as your computer's Internet Protocol ("IP") address, browser type, browser version, the pages of our site that you visit, the time and date of your visit, and other statistics. We use this information for security purposes and to improve the performance of our website.

4. Cookies

We use "cookies" to enhance your experience. For example, we use local storage to remember your preferred citation style and theme (light or dark mode). You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent.

5. Third-Party Services

Our tool interacts with third-party bibliographic databases to find source information. These services have their own privacy policies. Additionally, our website may contain links to other sites. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that site.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
