APA Citation Generator is designed as a lightweight citation workspace. This policy explains what data may be processed when you use the English MVP.
The current version stores your active citation draft and bibliography list in your browser so the workspace can survive refreshes during the same device session.
This locally stored workspace data can include:
The MVP does not require an account, and it does not ask you to submit personal profile information to use the citation tool.
Basic analytics or operational logging may be used to understand product usage, investigate failures, and improve the service. These tools should be limited to product and performance analysis rather than personal profiling.
The citation workflow can request metadata from third-party source providers such as DOI, book, or webpage metadata services. Your submitted source input may be sent to those providers so the citation draft can be generated.
You can clear locally stored workspace data by clearing the site data in your browser.
This policy may be updated as the product adds accounts, exports, or collaboration features.
