In plain wordsTechnical detail

| Sources on your lists | The sources on your lists: what you typed or what Crossref and Open Library sent about a work, your private notes, and what the last retraction check found. | You | Kept until you remove the source, delete the list or delete your account. | Not listed yet |
| Data notebooks | Your data notebooks: the code, notes and printed text of each cell, up to 200 KB each. Your data files are never kept. Anyone with a notebook's link can read it while you share it. | You, anyone and staff | Kept until you delete the notebook or your account. | Not listed yet |

| Permanent DOIs | The permanent DOIs you asked Zenodo for: the title, the DOI and the address of the record. The record at Zenodo is public. | You, anyone and a provider working for us | Kept after you delete your account, because the record at Zenodo is permanent and cannot be taken back through this site. | Not listed yet |
| Kept answers about published worksAlso about people who are not members | What Crossref and Open Library said about a published work, kept so the same lookup is not repeated. It holds the names of the work's authors as published, and nothing about the member who asked. | Staff | Deleted 120 days after it was fetched. | Not listed yet |
