Privacy Policy

AgriStatLab (“we”, “us”, or “our”) operates AgriStatLab.com. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect the personal information you provide when using our website and tools. Please read this carefully.

1. Information we collect

• Contact form: If you use our contact form, we collect the name, email address, and message you provide so we can respond.
• Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to collect non-personal usage information (pages visited, session duration, approximate geographic region, device/browser info) to improve the site.
• Uploaded data for visualization/tools: Tools that allow immediate, client-side visualization (e.g., G×E Visual Explorer) process data in your browser and do not store uploaded files on our servers. If you explicitly send data to us (for consulting or analysis), we will only use it for the agreed purpose and not store or share it beyond that purpose without your consent.

2. How we use information

We use information to:

• Respond to your inquiries and messages.
• Improve site functionality, content, and user experience using aggregated analytics data.
• Perform data analysis only when you explicitly send data for that purpose; such data will be used only as agreed.

3. Cookies and third-party tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies for site functionality and analytics. Specifically:

• Google Analytics: collects anonymous usage data to help us improve the site.
• Future advertising: If we enable Google AdSense or other ad services later, those third parties may use cookies and other identifiers to serve ads. At that time we will update this policy and provide opt-out resources.

You can control or delete cookies via your browser settings. For ad personalization opt-outs, see Google Ads Settings.

4. Data sharing and disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We only share data:

• If required by law (e.g., a valid subpoena).
• To protect the safety of our site or users (e.g., fraud or security incidents).

5. Data retention and deletion

Contact form submissions are retained to allow us to respond. If you have sent data for analysis, we will retain it only for the purpose agreed and will delete it upon request.

To request deletion of personal data, email us at agristatlab@gmail.com with details of your request.

6. Security

We host our website on Namecheap shared hosting. We take reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect data. However, no system is completely secure — please avoid sending highly sensitive personal data unless necessary and agreed.

7. International visitors

If you visit AgriStatLab from outside the server’s country, your data may be processed in other jurisdictions. By using the site you consent to transfer and processing according to this policy.

8. Your rights

Depending on your jurisdiction (for example, the EU or California), you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your personal data. To exercise these rights or ask questions, contact agristatlab@gmail.com.

9. Children

Our services are not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13.
