Security and privacy

AcaTrove is clear about what it tracks, what it keeps out of analytics, how access is controlled, and how users can export core research records.

Hosted product posture

Encryption in transit

Hosted traffic uses TLS, and security claims stay tied to controls that are configured and verified.

Data boundaries

Document text and prompt content stay out of product analytics unless a user explicitly opts in.

Access controls

Feature access, roles, and collaborator permissions are enforced by backend checks.

Privacy-conscious analytics

Track funnel events and plan conversion without collecting sensitive research content.

Analytics boundaries

AcaTrove tracks product events such as page views, signup clicks, project creation, document upload, grant or career activation, AI trial usage, checkout activity, MCP connector interest, and exports. It does not send document text, unpublished research content, or prompt text into product analytics.

Institution-ready path

Institution plans add managed users, SSO, audit logs, retention controls, security documentation, procurement support, and guided rollout for teams that need centralized governance.
