Privacy

What this site records about you.

Socratic is a public reference. There are no accounts, no sign-in, and nothing you type into the question box is stored.

Usage analytics

Pages load a small analytics script from PostHog that records which pages are viewed, the approximate region of the visitor, and the browser type. It is used to see which parts of the site are read and which are not. Analytics events are stored by PostHog in the United States.

The question box

The text you enter is matched in your browser against the list of compiled questions. It is not sent to a language model and it is not saved.

Hosting

The site is served by Vercel, and the data behind it comes from Socratic's own application interface. Both keep ordinary server logs, such as request paths and network addresses, for a limited time to operate the service.

Cookies

Socratic sets no cookies of its own. The analytics script keeps a random identifier in your browser so that repeat visits are counted once. Clearing site data removes it.

Questions

Write to hello@socratic.science. The methods behind the site are described under How it works.
