Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Imbata Systems (“we”, “us”) collects, uses, and protects information when you use Mloupe (also referred to as Mloupe AI) at https://mloupe.com.
Mloupe is an institutional manuscript pre-review application. Academic drafts are sensitive; we process them only to deliver the Service.
This policy is written so a visitor can understand, without logging in, what personal data we collect (including data from Google Sign-In), why we collect it, how long we keep it, and who we share it with.
1. Who we are
Mloupe AI is operated by Imbata Systems.
Contact for privacy requests:
2. Information we collect
Depending on how you use the Service, we may process:
- Account data: name, work email, institution name, role, and a password hash if you create a password.
- Google Sign-In data, if you choose that method (see section 2A).
- Billing and credit records: prepaid balances, payment references, and related correspondence.
- Manuscripts and outputs: files you upload, annotated reviews, and diagnostic metadata needed to run the pipeline.
- Technical logs: IP address, browser type, timestamps, and security events needed to operate and protect the Service.
- Support messages: emails or chat you send to our team.
2A. Google Sign-In (Sign in with Google)
Mloupe offers optional Sign in with Google so authorized institution staff can create or access an account without a separate password. We use Google APIs only for this authentication.
When you tap Continue with Google, we request only these OAuth scopes: openid, email, and profile. Google then shares with Mloupe the minimum account information needed to log you in.
- Data received from Google: your name, email address, email verification status, a stable Google user identifier (sub), an optional profile photo URL, and, for Google Workspace accounts, the hosted domain.
- We do not request access to Gmail, Google Drive, Contacts, Calendar, Photos, Docs, or any other Google user content.
- We use this information solely to create or sign in to your Mloupe institution account, display your name in the product, send transactional email to that address, and prevent duplicate accounts.
- We store the Google user identifier with your account so later sign-ins can be matched. We do not sell Google account data, do not use it for advertising or remarketing, and do not use it to train AI models.
- The use of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
- You may disconnect Google from Mloupe by emailing [email protected]. You may also revoke Mloupe’s access in your Google Account permissions at https://myaccount.google.com/permissions.
- Name, email, and the Google user identifier are kept while the institution account remains active. After account closure we delete or anonymize them except where law requires longer retention (for example accounting or security logs).
3. How we use information
We use information to:
- Provide accounts, authentication, uploads, AI analysis, and downloads.
- Apply prepaid credits and manage Partner arrangements.
- Send transactional notices (verification, review ready, security alerts) according to your preferences where applicable.
- Maintain security, prevent abuse, and improve reliability.
- Comply with law and enforce our Terms.
4. Manuscripts and confidentiality
Manuscript content is used solely to generate annotations and to operate related quality checks (including cryptographic fingerprinting and multi-agent verification).
We do not use your manuscript text to train public foundation models for unrelated purposes, and we do not sell or publish your drafts.
Access to live manuscript storage is restricted to systems and personnel needed to run and support the Service.
5. Retention and deletion
Account, billing, and audit records may be kept longer as needed for accounting, security, and legal compliance.
You may request account closure or correction of account details by contacting us.
6. Processors and transfers
We use trusted infrastructure providers (for example cloud hosting and object storage) to run Mloupe. They process data on our instructions. Google processes Sign-In data as described in section 2A when you choose that method.
AI analysis may involve carefully controlled calls to third-party model providers under contractual protections. Only content required for the review is sent.
Data may be processed in countries where we or our providers operate. We take steps appropriate to the sensitivity of academic manuscripts.
7. Security
We use access controls, encrypted transport (HTTPS), and operational practices aimed at protecting accounts and files.
No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure; please use strong passwords and protect institutional credentials.
8. Cookies and similar technologies
We use session cookies and similar technologies necessary for login, language preference, and security. We do not use advertising trackers on the Service.
9. Your choices
Depending on applicable law, you may request access, correction, deletion, or export of personal account data, subject to legal exceptions (for example fraud prevention or accounting records).
You can update profile details in the application where available, or contact us.
10. Children
Mloupe is a business-to-business service for universities, journals, and publishers. It is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
11. Google API Terms and prohibited uses
Mloupe uses Google APIs only to authenticate users via Sign in with Google. We do not use Google APIs (or any other interface) to generate, host, distribute, or process AI-generated non-consensual intimate imagery (AI NCII), deepfakes, or sexual content.
Mloupe’s purpose is academic manuscript quality assurance for institutions. We do not operate an image-generation product.
12. Changes
We may update this Privacy Policy by posting a new version on this page. Material changes will be highlighted when practicable.
