This policy applies to all information collected or submitted on Stork’s website and other devices and platforms.
When creating an account, you will be asked to enter an email address and a password. Email addresses are used for logging in, password resets, new publication alerts, responding to emails that you initiate, and notifications.
We store information about your keywords and papers to sync this information between the website and your devices. We also collect anonymous statistics about which papers are most popular to help inform our recommendation engine.
If you enable notifications, we must store a token to send them. We never use notifications for marketing.
If you upload files to Stork, we need to store them until you delete them.
We use cookies on the site and similar tokens in the app to keep you logged in. Our server software may also store basic technical information, such as your IP address.
Stork’s website and app collects aggregate, anonymous statistics, such as the percentage of users who use particular features, to improve the app.
We use the information we collect to operate and improve our website, apps, and customer support.
We do not share personal information with outside parties except to the extent necessary to accomplish Stork’s functionality. We may share anonymous, aggregate statistics with outside parties, such as how many people read a given paper.

In the future, we may sell to, buy, merge with, or partner with other businesses. In such transactions, user information may be among the transferred assets.
We implement a variety of security measures to help keep your information secure. For instance, all communication with the app and website requires HTTPS with certificate pinning. Passwords are hashed using industry-standard methods.
