Privacy policy

Last updated: June 19, 2026

Working draft — pending legal review. This policy is a structured draft for the Cite website. Before publishing, confirm the data-controller details, the exact analytics configuration (cookieless vs. cookie-based), processors, and retention periods, and have it reviewed. It is set to noindex until finalised.

1. Who we are

This website (citebrowser.com) presents Cite Browser, published by CitationLab. For privacy questions, contact hello@citebrowser.com. The legal controller name, company registration and address must be confirmed before publication.

2. What this policy covers

This policy covers the citebrowser.com website. Data handling inside the Cite application is described separately in the app and must be documented before launch.

3. What we collect on this site

Analytics: Cite uses first-party analytics to understand aggregate usage (pages viewed, broad device/region). Confirm whether this is fully cookieless before publishing; if any non-essential cookie is set, a consent banner is required.
Forms: If you submit the download-notify or contact form, we process the email address (and name, if given) and your message to respond and to notify you about Cite.
Server logs: Standard request data (IP, user agent, timestamp) processed by our hosting provider (Cloudflare) for security and delivery.

4. Why we process it (legal basis)

Legitimate interest in running and improving the site (aggregate analytics, security).
Consent, where you submit a form or where any non-essential cookie is used.

5. Who processes your data

Cloudflare — hosting and content delivery.
CitationLab — analytics and form handling.
List any other processor (e.g. email provider) before publishing.

6. How long we keep it

Define concrete retention periods per data type before publishing (e.g. form submissions kept until the request is resolved or you unsubscribe; aggregate analytics retained for a stated window).

7. Your rights

You have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict and port your data, and to object to processing. To exercise any of these, email hello@citebrowser.com. You may also lodge a complaint with your data protection authority.

8. Cookies & tracking

If Cite sets only strictly necessary storage (e.g. remembering a consent choice), no consent banner is required, but this section must still describe the measurement performed. If any non-essential cookie or marketing tag is added, opt-in consent and a banner become mandatory.

9. Changes to this policy

We will update this page when our practices change and revise the date above.
