Top Risks
Major transparency gap: both privacy and terms pages require JavaScript and could not be retrieved for analysis. Small Israeli startup with no confirmed security certifications. No explicit training or data-use prohibitions confirmed. Search patterns revealing unpublished research directions are sensitive for academic users. Limited policy transparency.
Mitigations
Israel has EU GDPR adequacy status. Amendment 13 (August 2025) strengthens Israeli privacy law to near-GDPR standards. Academic tool only surfaces existing public papers, not user-created content. No known data monetization or ad network partnerships identified. Small team limits data processing scale and commercial incentive.

Highest Risk Categories
The highest-scoring risk categories identified in this assessment.
Security Posture
Small Israeli startup with limited published security documentation. No SOC 2 certification found in any accessible resource. No dedicated security page identified. Policy pages require JavaScript (single-page app architecture). Limited team size means fewer dedicated security resources. No public breach history found. Risk elevated by lack of disclosed security controls.

/10
Training Use
Privacy and terms pages require JavaScript to render; full policy text could not be retrieved for analysis. Connected Papers is a small Israeli startup. No explicit training policy found in any accessible content or search results. Default assumption for a small startup without stated policy: moderate risk. Paper graph exploration queries and collection patterns may be used to improve recommendations. No confirmed no-training commitment.
5
/10
3rd-Party Sharing
Full policy inaccessible due to JavaScript requirement. Small Israeli company with limited policy transparency. Standard SaaS sharing with service providers assumed. No known ad network partnerships found in search results. Data source is Semantic Scholar API (public academic data). Data likely processed via US cloud infrastructure. Risk elevated by lack of policy transparency.
