Privacy
This notice covers visitors to bencheval.com, physicians who apply to our network, and buyer contacts. Plain language on purpose; your rights aren't improved by legalese.
Who we are
BenchEval is responsible for the personal data described in this notice. Contact: hello@bencheval.com.
What we collect
Site visitors: standard server logs (IP address, user agent, pages requested), kept briefly for security. No advertising trackers, no third-party analytics cookies.
Applicants: name, email, country of practice, specialty, licensing authority and licence or registration number, years in practice, languages, weekly availability, optional AI or annotation experience, a CV link, a professional profile link, and any notes you add.
Buyer contacts: work email, organisation, and what you tell us about your product, the claim you want tested, and your timeline.
Why, and on what legal basis
Applicants: to verify your licence and credentials, match you to projects, and pay you — legitimate interests and steps prior to a contract.
Buyers: to respond and scope work — legitimate interests.
Where law requires consent (e.g. optional communications), we ask for it separately and you can withdraw it at any time.
Verification
We check applicant licence details against the public register of the licensing authority you name. Licence and registration numbers are read at verification only. We do not enrich your data from other sources without telling you.
Who processes your data
We use a small set of service providers: Vercel (hosting), Supabase (database and form submissions), Google Workspace (email) and Resend (application-notification email) — and, for applicants, licence verification against public registers. Each acts under contract as a processor. We do not sell personal data, and we do not use applicant or buyer data to train AI models.
Where it's stored and for how long
Data is stored with our hosting and database providers (Vercel and Supabase). Unsuccessful or inactive applications are deleted after 12 months; network members' records are kept for the duration of engagement plus what tax and employment law require; buyer correspondence is kept while relevant.
Retention periods are enforced, not aspirational.
Your rights
Access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection — email hello@bencheval.com. We won't hold a grudge; complaints improve the notice.
Forms and transmission
Forms submit over HTTPS via POST — personal details never appear in URLs, browser history or server access logs. We ask you not to send patient-identifiable information through any form or email.
Changes
We date this notice and keep prior versions available on request. Material changes are flagged to network members by email.
