Privacy Policy

PoliBench does not collect, store, or process any personal information from visitors. There are no user accounts, login systems, cookies for tracking, or analytics scripts that identify individuals. The benchmark is a read-only public resource.

The political compass questionnaire is processed entirely in your browser. Your answers are not transmitted to any server, logged, or stored. Results are computed locally and displayed only to you. Closing the page discards all responses.

The benchmark publishes model outputs, scoring metadata, cost estimates, latency measurements, and parse status for publicly available AI models. This data is derived from automated test runs and does not contain any personal information.

Those public rows are research artifacts. They should be read as model-output records tied to prompts, parsers, scorers, and release files, not as personal data about visitors or as a hidden profile of anyone using the site.

Public API endpoints expose benchmark artifacts only. They do not receive or store private questionnaire answers, personal data, or any user-submitted content.

If future features add accounts, submissions, comments, analytics, or hosted collaboration, this policy should be updated before those features handle production traffic. The current boundary is intentionally simpler: public benchmark evidence in, local questionnaire interaction out.
