Privacy Policy

Information Collection

Athens Research operates as an experimental platform for collective intelligence research. We collect minimal information necessary for the functioning of our research experiments and coordination mechanisms.

We do not use tracking cookies, analytics services, or third-party data collection tools. Any data generated through interaction with our research platforms is treated as research data and handled according to open research principles.

Research Data

Contributions to our knowledge graphs, research discussions, and coordination experiments may be preserved as part of our ongoing research into collective intelligence. This data helps us understand how collaborative knowledge systems emerge and evolve.

Research participants maintain ownership of their contributions. We operate under principles of open research, meaning insights derived from collective participation are shared openly rather than commercialized.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or otherwise commercialize any data. Research findings may be shared in academic contexts or open research publications, always with appropriate anonymization and respect for participant privacy.

Our approach prioritizes research transparency over data monetization. We believe collective intelligence research should benefit the commons rather than private interests.

Questions about our privacy practices can be directed to our research coordination channels or through the contact methods listed in our source documentation.
