Privacy Policy

Effective Date: January 2, 2026

---

At the Comprehensive Theory Organization, we value the integrity of your data as much as the integrity of our physics models.

1. Data Collection

We collect information necessary to provide quantum chromodynamics simulation services, including:

• Account Data: Email address and hashed credentials.
• Simulation Data: Input parameters and generated outputs for your specific QCD models.
• Payment Data: Transaction records via PayPal (we do not store credit card numbers on our servers).

2. Use of Information

Your data is used strictly for:

• Authenticating access to protected research tools.
• Processing grant-based or individual payments for compute time.
• Improving the numerical stability of our portal.

3. Data Security

We utilize industry-standard TLS encryption for all data in transit. Password data is hashed using BCRYPT, ensuring that even in the event of unauthorized access, your raw credentials remains non-recoverable.

4. Third-Party Services

We interface with PayPal for financial transactions. We encourage you to review PayPal's privacy statement regarding your financial data.
