Privacy policy
Last updated: March 30, 2026
At stemLM, your privacy matters. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using stemLM, you agree to the practices described here.
1. Information we collect
Information you provide. When you join our waitlist, we collect your email address. When you create an account, we may also collect your name and a password. Any questions or problems you submit through the workspace are processed to deliver the service.
Usage data. We automatically collect information about how you interact with stemLM, including pages visited, features used, device and browser type, IP address, and interaction patterns within the workspace.
Cookies and similar technologies. We use essential cookies to keep the site functioning and analytics cookies to understand usage patterns. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.
2. How we use your information

3. Data sharing and third parties
We do not sell your personal data. We may share information with:

- Legal compliance — when required by law, regulation, or valid legal process
- Business transfers — in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets
- Aggregated data — anonymized, non-identifiable data may be shared for research or analysis
4. Data retention
Waitlist emails are retained until early access is granted or you request deletion. Account data is retained while your account is active and for a reasonable period afterward.

6. Children's privacy
stemLM is designed for university and higher-education STEM students. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or the applicable minimum age in your jurisdiction). If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us at [email protected] and we will promptly delete it.
7. Security
We use industry-standard measures to protect your data, including encryption in transit and at rest. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure. If you suspect unauthorized access to your account, contact us immediately.
8. Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of stemLM after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
