Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how imicrodosing.org collects, uses, and protects information when people visit and interact with the research library. The goal is simple. Provide transparent information about data practices while maintaining a safe and respectful research environment.

The iMicrodosing project operates as an education-only research library. The website publishes informational material intended to support research literacy and public understanding of emerging scientific discussions. The site does not sell products, process transactions, or provide personalized advice.

Information We Collect

Like most modern websites, imicrodosing.org collects limited information that helps maintain the functionality and stability of the site. This information allows the team to understand how the research library is used and how content can be organized more clearly.

Information collected may include:

• Basic technical data such as browser type and device type
• Pages visited within the research library
• General geographic region derived from IP address
• Time spent on pages and navigation patterns

This type of information is collected automatically through standard website technologies. It helps maintain performance and improve how educational content is structured.

The site does not collect sensitive personal information unless a visitor chooses to provide it voluntarily.

Information You Provide Voluntarily

Some visitors choose to subscribe to research updates through the email newsletter. In those cases, visitors may provide a small amount of information such as:

• Email address
• Optional name if included in the form

This information is used only to send educational updates related to the research library.

The iMicrodosing project does not sell, trade, or distribute subscriber information.

How Information Is Used

Information collected on imicrodosing.org supports three core purposes.

First, it helps maintain the reliability and security of the website. Basic technical data allows the team to identify issues such as broken pages or unusual traffic patterns.

Second, it helps understand how readers interact with educational materials. This allows the library to organize research topics more clearly and improve readability.

Third, it allows subscribers to receive occasional research updates when they choose to join the newsletter.

Typical uses of collected information include:

• Maintaining website performance and stability
• Understanding general reader engagement with research content
• Delivering educational newsletter updates when requested

All uses remain aligned with the educational nature of the project.

Cookies and Website Technologies

The website may use cookies and similar technologies that support standard website functionality. Cookies are small files stored in the browser that allow websites to remember certain information during a visit.

These technologies may help with:

• Basic analytics about page visits
• Website performance monitoring
• Security and spam protection

Visitors can manage cookie settings through their browser preferences. Most browsers allow users to review, block, or delete cookies at any time.

Data Protection and Security

Protecting visitor information is an important responsibility. The iMicrodosing project uses standard technical and organizational safeguards designed to reduce unauthorized access or misuse of information.

These measures may include:

• Secure website infrastructure
• Encrypted data transmission when appropriate
• Limited access to administrative systems

No website environment can promise absolute security. The project maintains reasonable safeguards and regularly reviews systems to support responsible data handling.

Data Retention

Information is kept only for as long as it remains necessary for the purposes described in this policy.

Examples include:

• Technical analytics data retained for website analysis
• Email subscription data retained until a subscriber chooses to unsubscribe

Subscribers may remove their information from the mailing list at any time through the unsubscribe link included in newsletter emails.

Third-Party Services

The website may use trusted third-party services that help operate standard website features. These services may include:

• Website hosting infrastructure
• Email delivery platforms for newsletters
• Basic analytics tools

These services operate under their own privacy policies and are selected to support the educational mission of the project.

No third-party service is used to sell visitor information or to enable commercial marketing activity.

Children’s Privacy

The iMicrodosing research library is intended for a general audience interested in scientific and educational material.

The project does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If such information is identified, reasonable steps are taken to remove it from records.

Policy Updates

This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically as the research library evolves. Updates may reflect changes in website technology, privacy practices, or regulatory guidance.

The most recent version of the policy will always be available on this page.
