How we protect you

The safeguards and their limits.

Publication threshold

Review text, ratings and counts stay withheld until 3 reviews are published. Each questionnaire version also needs that many reviews before its summary is shown.

Private accounts, checked reviews

Readers cannot see your account details. Moderators review content before publication. Owner access to private identity information is exceptional and audited. Only a year is public, and reviews are not ordered by submission time.

You keep control

You can withdraw a review even when new submissions are closed. You can delete your account while retaining unlinked published reviews. Withdraw first to hide publication. A recreated account cannot recover the old review.

Limits

No system can guarantee anonymity in a small lab. Your writing may identify you. Remove identifying details before submitting and use Report or Support if published content puts someone at risk.
