PeriDocs is an educational platform focused on heuristic-based semantic analysis, heuristic-based pragmatic interpretation, relevant hyperlink retreival based on the contents of the queries ("Entry," or "Entries") submitted to the platform. The Service allows Users to submit said quieries for educational, reflective, and analytical purposes. Insights are generated for personal learning and reflection only and are not a substitute for professional advice.
IP addresses are processed transiently for network security and abuse prevention. Raw IP addresses are not retained in plaintext beyond immediate operational necessity. Encrypted incident records containing IP data may be retained only in limited circumstances involving legal compliance, system integrity circumstances, credible safety escalations, accessible solely by authorized legal operations personnel. All access is logged in an auditable trail.
PeriDocs may generate internal analytical representations of Entries, including but not limited to: semantic embeddings and similarity indices.

We may retain limited pseudonymized ledger identifiers, pseudonymized embeddings, and audit records necessary to maintain system integrity, system auditability, prevent abuse, comply with legal obligations, or defend against claims. These retained records do not include plaintext content of any Entry. Deletion is destructive and irreversible. Deleted data cannot be restored, and deletion may permanently impair or disable features associated with the User’s account. Limited legal records may be retained strictly as required by law.

Submissions indicating imminent harm may trigger crisis escalation procedures. Attempts to extract, scrape, or reuse PeriDocs content outside personal or subscribed use are prohibited. PeriDocs reserves the right to permanently ban Users who demonstrate prohibited use(s) of the Service.
PeriDocs does not provide medical, clinical, mental health, or therapeutic advice. Insights are for educational and reflective purposes only.
In cases of flagged Entries indicating credible risk of harm or legal obligation, encrypted incident records may be stored and disclosed only to authorized legal operations personnel or law enforcement as required by law. All access is auditable. PeriDocs does not undertake a duty to monitor or intervene and does not guarantee detection of risk.
