Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-04-14

Summary

The Review Protocol is a static educational site. We do not set cookies, run third-party trackers, sell data, or collect personal information from visitors. You can read every page without identifying yourself.

What we do not collect

• Cookies. No first-party or third-party cookies are set by this site.
• Analytics. No Google Analytics, Plausible, Matomo, or similar trackers run on these pages.
• Accounts. There is no user account, login, newsletter, or comment system on this site.
• Forms that leave your browser. The review type selector quiz runs entirely client-side; your answers are never sent to a server.

Server logs

This site is served by GitHub Pages. GitHub, as our host, may keep short-lived server access logs (IP address, user agent, request path) for security and abuse prevention as described in GitHub's privacy statement. We do not read, analyze, or export those logs.

Outbound links

This site links to other websites — notably Subthesis.com and other sites in the Subthesis ecosystem, as well as organizations such as PRISMA, Cochrane, JBI, and PROSPERO. Those sites have their own privacy policies and may collect data when you visit them. We have no control over and no responsibility for the content or practices of external sites.

Downloadable templates

Templates are static files (Excel, PDF, Word) hosted on this site. Downloading a template does not transmit any personal information to us beyond the normal server log described above.

Future changes

If we ever add analytics, contact forms, comments, or any other feature that could touch personal data, we will update this page before the feature ships and bump the "Last updated" date at the top.

Children's privacy

This site is aimed at graduate-level researchers, faculty, librarians, and professionals. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect any information from children.
