This Privacy Policy explains how The Lab Post (operated by The Lab Post LLC, a Maryland limited liability company; “we,” “us,” or “The Lab Post”) collects, uses, and protects your information. By using the Service, you agree to this policy. The Service is operated from the United States.
Name, email, and an authentication identifier. Passwords are stored as a salted hash; we never see or store plaintext passwords.
Information you provide about your research project, used to match papers to your work. Your inputs may be processed by service providers solely to deliver the Service to you.
IP address, device and browser information, and request timestamps, used for security and abuse prevention.
Email delivery and engagement information from our email infrastructure, used to monitor deliverability and to honor opt-outs, bounces, and complaints. Digest emails include a standard delivery beacon that tells us whether mail is reaching inboxes; we record the engagement event itself, not your location or device details. These delivery and engagement records are kept for 90 days. Links in our emails point directly to their destinations and are not rewritten for tracking.
Digest emails may include clearly-labeled sponsor blocks. When they do, we record impression and click counts for billing and reporting. Sponsors receive aggregate counts only; no personally identifying user data is shared with sponsors.
We use strictly-necessary cookies: an authentication session cookie set after you sign in, and cookies set by our content delivery network for security and bot detection. If you arrive by clicking one of our ads, we also set one first-party cookie recording which ad brought you, used only to measure our advertising and expiring within 90 days.
When you create an account, you opt in to receive a daily email of paper matches based on your research profile. Each email may include sponsor blocks (clearly labeled). You can stop receiving these emails at any time via:
Unsubscribed addresses are added to an internal suppression list consulted before every send. Addresses that bounce permanently or generate complaints are added to the same list automatically.
We share information with service providers only to the extent necessary to operate the Service.
We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information to any third party.
Your information may be transferred in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale. We will notify you of any such change.
We may disclose information where required by law, court order, or legal process.
We use industry-standard measures to protect your data, including encryption in transit and at rest, salted-hash password storage, and bot defense at the application boundary. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure; we make no guarantee of absolute security.
We retain personal data only as long as needed for the purposes described, or as required by law. Account and research data are deleted on cancellation, including your stored email delivery and engagement records. Email suppression records are retained so we do not email an opted-out address again.
When you delete your account, your email address itself is kept on that suppression list so we never email it again. If you later create a new account with the same address and verify it, the record is cleared and the address works normally.
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data at any time by contacting [email protected]. You can also delete your account directly from your account settings.
California residents have the additional rights to know what personal information is collected, to delete personal information, to correct inaccurate information, and to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. We do not sell or share personal information.
The Service is operated from the United States. If you access it from outside the U.S., your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States, where data-protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction.
The Service is not intended for users under 18. Contact us if you believe a child has provided personal data and we will delete it.
We may update this policy. Changes will be reflected in the “Last updated” date below. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance.
