When you download a past-year paper from our archive at
superholiclab.com/papers, we record the following for
service-quality, abuse-prevention, and analytics purposes:
- The paper identifier you downloaded;
- The timestamp of the download;
- For signed-in users, your account ID;
- A one-way hashed identifier derived from your IP address combined with a
monthly-rotating salt (used solely for rate-limiting and abuse detection —
we cannot reverse-engineer this hash to your IP address);
- The referring page (where you arrived from).
We do not store your raw IP address with past-paper download records.
We retain these records for up to 24 months, after which they are deleted or anonymised
for long-term analytics. Aggregate, non-identifying download counts
(e.g., "Downloaded 234 times this month") may be displayed publicly on the archive page.
