Privacy policy
Pagemark is a platform for publishing and discovering academic and creative work: theses, capstones, posters, decks, studio and design work, class projects, and similar. This policy explains what information Pagemark collects, how it is used, and the choices you have. The short version: we collect what's needed to run the product, your work is as public as you choose to make it, and we don't sell your data or run advertising.
Information you provide
- Account details. Your name, email address, and password. Passwords are handled by our authentication provider (Supabase) and stored only in hashed form, Pagemark never sees or stores your plain-text password.
- Profile information. Education history (schools, positions, fields of study, years), a short bio, an about section, interests, optional links (LinkedIn, personal website), and an optional profile photo.
- Your work. Projects you publish, including titles, summaries, and any documents, slides, posters, or other files you upload.
- Activity. Comments you post, projects you appreciate or save, authors you follow, and reports you submit.
Information collected automatically
Pagemark stores small amounts of data in your browser to make the product work: your sign-in session (so you stay signed in), saved searches, and a local reading history used to improve your recommendations. The reading history stays on your device. Pagemark does not use third-party advertising trackers or analytics cookies.
How your information is used
- To operate your account and display your profile and published work.
- To personalize your feed and recommendations based on your interests and activity.
- To send essential account email (e.g. confirming an email-address change). Pagemark does not send marketing email.
- To review reports of plagiarism or misuse and keep the platform trustworthy.
Visibility of your work
You control who can see each project: Public (visible in discovery, search, and your profile), Profile only (kept out of discovery and search), or Link only (visible to anyone who has the link). Your profile page, name, education, bio, and public projects, is visible to anyone with its link, which is the point of a shareable portfolio. Choose visibility accordingly, and treat link-only URLs like anything else you share: anyone you give the link to can open it.
Where your data lives
Pagemark runs on these infrastructure providers: Supabase (authentication and database, including profiles, projects, comments, follows, and reports), Vercel (website hosting), and Cloudflare R2 (storage for uploaded documents and images). Each processes data on Pagemark's behalf to provide the service. Pagemark does not sell your personal information, and does not share it with third parties except these providers and where required by law.
Data retention and deletion
Your data is kept while your account exists. You can permanently delete your account at any time from Account settings, this removes your profile, projects, comments, follows, appreciations, and saved items. Files you uploaded are removed from public access as part of deletion. Residual copies may persist briefly in backups before being purged.
Your choices
- Edit or remove any profile information from Edit profile.
- Change a project's visibility or delete it entirely at any time.
- Change your email or password from Account settings.
- Delete your account entirely from Account settings.
Age requirement
Pagemark is intended for students and creators aged 13 and older. If we learn an account belongs to someone under 13, we will remove it.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes materially, the effective date above will be updated and significant changes will be noted on the site. Continued use of Pagemark after a change means you accept the updated policy.
