Privacy Policy

BestExperimentIdeas is a community platform where people publish science and engineering projects, build them, record results and — where a creator chooses — sell access to a premium project. This page describes the information the platform handles to make that work.

Account information. Your email address, a password (stored hashed by our authentication provider) or a Google sign-in, and the date your account was created.

Profile information. Your display name, username/handle, avatar and any bio or links you add. Profiles and handles are public.

Project content. Projects you create — titles, descriptions, materials, tools, steps, safety notes, hypotheses, results, datasets, images you upload and YouTube links you embed. Published projects are public.

Community activity. Builds you start, results you record, reviews, comments, posts, likes, follows, saves, project updates, reports you file and notifications generated for you.

Purchases and subscriptions. Which projects you bought, the amount and currency, payment status, refund status and your Scientist subscription state.

Creator earnings and payouts. If you sell premium projects: your earnings ledger, payout records, payout status and the identifier of your connected payment account.

Support communications. Support tickets and the messages in them, including emails you send to our support address.

Email preferences. Which notification emails you have turned on or off, and delivery records for the emails we send you.

Analytics and security logs. Product events such as page views and key actions, referral/attribution parameters if you arrived through a referral link, and technical logs (including IP address and user agent) recorded by our hosting and backend providers for security and abuse prevention.

• Google authentication. If you sign in with Google we receive your email address, name and profile picture from Google. We do not receive your Google password.
• Stripe (payments and payouts). We receive the outcome of a payment, the amount, currency, last-four-style payment metadata, refund events, and payout account status. Card numbers and bank details are entered directly with Stripe. BestExperimentIdeas does not store your card or bank details.
• Resend (email delivery). Delivery status for the transactional emails we send, and inbound emails you send to our support address.

• To create and secure your account and sign you in.
• To publish, display and moderate projects and community content.
• To run builds, record results and produce the aggregate comparisons shown on projects.
• To process purchases and subscriptions, unlock premium content and issue receipts.
• To calculate creator earnings and process payouts.
• To send transactional email you have not turned off, and to answer support requests.
• To measure how the product is used so we can improve it.
• To detect abuse, spam, fraud and unsafe content, and to enforce our policies.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use your data to train third-party advertising profiles.

Some features send the project text you are working on to an AI model provider to draft suggestions, summaries or readiness checks. Only the content needed for that request is sent, it is sent to fulfil your request, and the output is always yours to edit or discard. Do not paste information into the assistant that you would not want processed by a third party.

• Hosting and backend/database providers that run the platform.
• Stripe, for payments, subscriptions and creator payouts.
• Resend, for outbound and inbound email.
• Google, if you choose Google sign-in.
• Our AI model provider, for the assistant features described above.
• Analytics tooling used to measure product usage.
• Law enforcement or other parties where we are legally required to, or where it is necessary to investigate abuse, fraud or a safety risk.

Anything you publish — projects, profiles, posts, comments, reviews and public build results — is shared with everyone who visits the site.

We keep account, project and community data for as long as your account exists. Financial records — purchases, earnings, payouts and refunds — are kept after deletion where we need them for accounting, tax and dispute handling. Support tickets and email delivery logs are kept so we can handle follow-up questions and abuse.

You can edit or delete individual projects and content at any time. To delete your account, or to request a copy or correction of your personal information, email us from the address on your account and we will action it. Deleting your account removes or anonymises your profile and community content, subject to the financial records noted above.

Depending on where you live you may have additional rights over your personal information. We are not currently making a claim about any specific regulatory registration or certification — contact us and we will handle your request.

See the Cookie Policy for the exact cookies and browser storage the site uses.

Accounts are intended for people aged 13 and over. Younger students are welcome to use projects with a parent, guardian or teacher who holds the account and supervises the build.

When this policy changes we update the version and last-updated date at the top of this page. Significant changes will also be announced in-product or by email.

For anything about this policy, contact support@bestexperimentideas.com or open a request from the support page.
