GRADE Evidence Profile
Developer: Jithin T Joseph
Last updated: September 28, 2026
Overview
GRADE Evidence Profile is a research-support plugin designed to assist with certainty-of-evidence assessment and preparation of GRADE evidence profiles.
Data collected by the developer
GRADE Evidence Profile is currently provided as a skills-only plugin. It does not operate an external server, database, or separate application backend controlled by the developer.
The developer does not independently receive, collect, store, or maintain copies of:
- uploaded research articles, datasets, meta-analysis outputs, or other documents;
- prompts or questions submitted to the plugin;
- plugin-generated assessments or tables;
- ChatGPT conversation histories;
- names, email addresses, IP addresses, precise locations, or other personal identifiers through the plugin; or
- authentication credentials, payment information, health records, or government identifiers.
The plugin does not intentionally request personal information for its operation.
Processing within ChatGPT or Codex
The plugin operates within OpenAI products such as ChatGPT or Codex. Information supplied through those services may therefore be processed by OpenAI according to OpenAI's applicable privacy policies, terms, product settings, and data-control options.
The developer does not control OpenAI's independent processing of information submitted through its products.
Research materials
Users may provide meta-analysis outputs, study-level results, risk-of-bias assessments, protocols, manuscripts, or other methodological information.
Users are responsible for ensuring that they have the right to provide such material and should avoid uploading confidential, identifiable, restricted, or otherwise sensitive information unless lawful and appropriate.
Purpose of processing
Information supplied to the plugin is used within the ChatGPT or Codex interaction to perform the task requested by the user, including:
- evaluating GRADE certainty domains;
- preparing outcome-level certainty judgments;
- generating evidence-profile tables;
- drafting concise footnotes and rationale; and
- supporting evidence-synthesis workflows.
The plugin is not designed for advertising, behavioral profiling, surveillance, or sale of user information.
Sharing with third parties
The developer does not independently transmit plugin inputs or outputs to third-party services.
Because the plugin operates within OpenAI products, OpenAI and service providers used by OpenAI may process information according to OpenAI's own terms and privacy practices.
Data retention by the developer
The developer does not operate a separate storage system for plugin prompts, uploaded materials, or generated assessments and therefore does not establish an independent retention period for those materials.
Retention within ChatGPT, Codex, or other OpenAI services is governed by OpenAI's applicable policies and user settings.
User controls
Because the developer does not maintain an independent database of plugin interactions, there is generally no separate developer-held copy of a user's materials to access, modify, or delete.
Users should use the privacy, conversation, file, account, and data-control features provided by the OpenAI product through which they use the plugin.
Sensitive information
GRADE Evidence Profile is intended for research methodology and evidence synthesis. Users should not provide identifiable patient information, protected health information, authentication secrets, payment-card information, government identifiers, or other restricted data.
Changes to this policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated if the plugin's functionality or data-handling architecture changes. If a future version introduces an external server, user accounts, analytics, or other developer-operated data processing, this policy will be revised before those features are made publicly available.
