Privacy Policy
Updated May 13, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains what Cerise Scholar collects, what is intended to stay on your trusted laptop, how hosted services are used, and what choices you have during the public laptop beta.
13. Your privacy choices and rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, portability, objection, restriction, or withdrawal of consent for certain personal information.
You can also choose not to use hosted AI features, choose not to provide optional profile fields, opt out of optional emails where offered, use a trusted laptop for local workflows, and avoid uploading source files to hosted features unless you want that processing.
To ask about privacy rights or account deletion, contact cerisescholar@gmail.com. We may need to verify your identity before acting on certain requests.
14. Children and students
Cerise Scholar is built for students and researchers, but it is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children where parental, guardian, school, or legal consent is required.
If you believe a child provided personal information without appropriate consent, contact us so we can review and take appropriate action.
15. International processing
Cerise Scholar and its service providers may process information in the United States or other locations where infrastructure and providers operate. Privacy laws may differ from the laws where you live. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for cross-border processing.
16. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as Cerise Scholar changes. When we update it, we will change the updated date above and, when appropriate, provide additional notice in the app, by email, or during account flow.
Your continued use of Cerise Scholar after an updated policy takes effect means the updated policy applies to your use going forward.
17. Contact
Questions about this Privacy Policy or privacy requests can be sent to cerisescholar@gmail.com. This beta policy is written for clarity and product transparency; it should be reviewed by qualified counsel before a broad commercial launch.
18. Plain-language boundaries
Your laptop workspace is meant to be local. Hosted account and app services still exist. Hosted AI or source-discovery features may process the selected information needed for the feature. Cerise Scholar does not sell your personal information. Cerise Scholar does not train its models on your private source files, prompts, or outputs.
If a future feature changes these boundaries, the product should explain that change clearly before asking you to use it.
