2.0
Privacy notice
Version of 28 October 2026. In plain English: what RES 2.0 keeps about you, why, where, for how long, and what you can do about it.
Who runs RES 2.0
RES 2.0 is run by Martyn Markley (MM16), who decides how your information is used. For anything about your information, email martynmarkley30@gmail.com.
What RES 2.0 keeps
- Your account. Your username, your password only as a one-way scrambled digest that nobody can turn back into the password, the note you wrote when asking for an account, when it was made and last used, what you may do, and when you agreed to this notice.
- Your profile. The skills and qualifications you choose, your model and your language.
- Your papers. The text of each paper you add, split into passages, though not the file itself, with every evaluation run, your own answers and notes, and your checklists.
- Saved model answers for each paper, so the same paper is not sent to the model twice. These describe the paper, not you.
- In your browser, the sign-in session, so you stay signed in. Nothing else, and no tracking or advertising cookies.
Why
To run your account and evaluate the papers you add, and to keep RES 2.0 secure. The legal basis is the legitimate interest in running a service you asked to use, and your agreement to this notice.
Who else sees it
- The AI services. To evaluate a paper, its text, your checklist and your profile's skills are sent through Vento, the admin's own model engine, to the AI service that answers, currently Groq or Google Gemini, which may be outside the UK. Their own terms apply, and on their free tiers they may keep what they are sent, and Google may use it to improve its products. Only add published papers, never confidential or unpublished work, or anything with people's personal details.
- Microsoft Azure stores RES 2.0's records, in its UK South region.
- Nobody else. Other users never see your papers, and your information is never sold or shared for advertising.
How long
Everything is kept until you delete it or your account. Deleting a paper removes it and all its runs at once. If the admin removes your account, everything of yours goes with it. Working copies inside the running server vanish whenever it restarts.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law you can see the information kept about you, have it corrected, have it deleted, and object to its use. Under ACCOUNT, DOWNLOAD MY DATA gives you a copy of everything, and DELETE MY ACCOUNT removes your account, profile, checklists and papers at once. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
Changes
If this notice changes, you are shown the new version and asked to agree again when you next sign in.
