Introduction
Welcome to SciencePivot. We’re glad you’re here to learn about science, health, psychology, myths, and nature.
Your privacy matters to us. This page explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and what choices you have. We’ve tried to keep it clear and free of legal jargon.
The Short Version
- We collect only what we need to run the site and respond to you.
- We never sell your personal information.
- We don’t share your email address with third parties for their own use.
- We don’t track you across other websites.
- You can ask to see, correct, or delete your data at any time.
What Information We Collect
Information you give us
Comments and questions. When you leave a comment or ask a question, we ask for your name and email address. We use your email only to reply to you. Your name, and the comment itself, may appear publicly on the page where you posted.
Newsletter signups. If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address so we can send you educational content. Every newsletter includes a one-click unsubscribe link.
Emails to us. If you contact us directly, we’ll have your email address and whatever you choose to tell us. We use it only to answer your message.
Information collected automatically
When you read our articles, our website automatically collects basic usage information, such as:
- Which pages you visit
- Your general location, such as country or city (not your exact address)
- Basic technical details, such as browser type or device type
We use this to understand which topics readers enjoy so we can create more of them and improve the site. This information is used in aggregate, to see overall trends rather than to identify individual readers.
How We Use Your Information
We use your information to:
- Reply to your comments, questions, and emails
- Send you our newsletter, if you signed up
- Understand which articles and topics are most popular
- Keep the website working properly and improve your experience
- Remember your preferences, such as dark mode
We don’t use your information for anything unrelated to these purposes.
What We Don’t Do
- We never sell your personal information. Not now, not ever.
- We don’t share your email with random third parties. Your address is used for replying to you and for the newsletter you chose to join.
- We don’t track you across the internet. We look at activity on SciencePivot only, not on the other sites you visit.
Cookies
Cookies are small files that a website stores in your browser. We use them for two simple reasons:
- Preferences. To remember choices like dark mode, so you don’t have to set them every visit.
- Understanding popularity. To see which articles are read most often.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time. The site will still work if you do, though some preferences may not be remembered.
Service Providers
Like most websites, we may rely on trusted services to operate, for example website hosting, email delivery for the newsletter, or basic site analytics. These providers can handle information only as needed to perform their services for us. They are not permitted to use it for their own purposes. Their own privacy practices may also apply to the data they handle.
How Long We Keep Your Information
We keep your information only as long as it’s needed for the purpose it was collected:
- Newsletter email addresses are kept until you unsubscribe or ask us to remove them.
- Comments and the details attached to them are kept until you ask us to delete them or we remove them as part of managing the site.
- Emails you send us are kept only as long as needed to help you and keep a reasonable record.
- Basic usage information is kept in aggregate form to help us understand trends.
How We Protect Your Information
We take reasonable steps to keep your information safe and limit who can access it. No website or online service can promise perfect security, but we take your trust seriously and handle your data carefully.
Your Rights and Choices
You are in control of your information. You can:
- Ask what we have. Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
- Ask us to correct it. If something is wrong or outdated, we’ll fix it.
- Ask us to delete it. This includes your comments and your email address.
- Unsubscribe. Use the link in any newsletter, or email us.
- Control cookies. Adjust your browser settings whenever you like.
To use any of these options, email us at contact@sciencepivot.com. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under local privacy laws, and we’re happy to respect them. To protect your privacy, we may ask you to confirm your identity before sharing or changing personal information.
Children and Families
Our content is for everyone, but we don’t knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without a parent’s permission. If you’re under 13, please ask a parent or guardian before commenting or signing up for the newsletter.
If we learn that we’ve collected information from a child under 13 without permission, we’ll delete it promptly. If you’re a parent and think this may have happened, please contact us.
Links to Other Websites
Some of our articles may link to outside websites, such as research papers or reference sources. We don’t control those sites and aren’t responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to read their policies when you visit them.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. If we make significant changes, we’ll post a notice on our homepage. Otherwise, this page will always have the most current version, and the “Last updated” date at the top will show when it was last revised.
Questions?
We’re real people who love teaching about psychology, nature, and busting myths. If you have any questions about this policy or your information, email us at contact@sciencepivot.com and we’ll be happy to help.
