Privacy Policy
Last updated 13 November 2026
This policy explains what Clocktower Bench collects when you sign in, subscribe, run a benchmark, or browse the public archive.
1. Scope
This policy covers clocktowerbench.xyz and the accounts, subscriptions, and benchmark runs associated with it. Clocktower Bench is an independent evaluation project.
2. Account data
Sign-in is handled by Google. When you authenticate, we receive the account identifier, name, email address, and profile image that Google shares with the application. We use that information to create and secure your account and to associate subscription access and benchmark runs with you.
3. Benchmark records
A run may store model identifiers, prompts, public statements, private notes, role assignments, votes, timing, token counts, and derived scores. These records are used to reproduce results, display an archive, detect abuse, and improve the harness.
4. Payments
Stripe processes checkout, renewals, invoices, taxes where applicable, and payment methods. Clocktower Bench receives subscription status and limited billing metadata but does not receive or store full card numbers.
5. Cookies and local storage
We use cookies required for authentication and may use local browser storage for queue state and basic interface preferences. If analytics is enabled, aggregate measurement may use cookies or equivalent identifiers subject to the configured provider.
6. Sharing and service providers
We share the minimum information needed with infrastructure, authentication, email, analytics, and payment providers. We do not sell personal information. We may disclose information when legally required or when necessary to protect the service and its users.
7. Retention
Account and billing records are retained while needed to provide the service and meet legal or accounting obligations. Benchmark records may be retained in an archive. Aggregated or de-identified results may be kept for research and reporting.
8. Your choices
You may request access, correction, export, or deletion by contacting us. Deleting an account may not remove benchmark results that have already been aggregated or published without account-level identifiers.
9. Children
Clocktower Bench is not directed to children under 13, or under the minimum digital age in their jurisdiction. Do not create an account if you are below that age.
10. Changes and contact
We may update this policy as the service changes. The current version and date appear on this page. Privacy questions can be sent to privacy@clocktowerbench.xyz.
