The Well Water Lab (“we”, “this site”, thewellwaterlab.com) is an informational publication. We collect as little personal data as a website practically can, and this page explains what is collected, by whom, and what your choices are.
What We Collect Directly
Reading this site requires no account and no personal information. Our web server keeps standard technical logs (IP address, browser type, pages requested, timestamps) for security and troubleshooting; these are routinely rotated and are not used to identify visitors.
If you email us through the address on our Contact page, we receive whatever you choose to send — your email address and message content. We use it only to reply, and we do not add you to any mailing list or share your address with anyone.
Advertising and Cookies
This site displays advertising served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners are third-party vendors that use cookies — including the DoubleClick cookie — to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
- Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet.
- You can opt out of personalized advertising in Google Ads Settings.
- You can opt out of many other third-party vendors’ personalized ads at www.aboutads.info/choices.
- Google’s own advertising privacy practices are described in Google’s advertising policies.
You can also block or delete cookies entirely in your browser settings; the site’s articles work fully without them.
Analytics
We may use privacy-respecting traffic measurement (such as aggregate statistics from our hosting or Google Search Console) to understand which guides help readers. This reporting is aggregate and does not identify individual visitors.
What We Do Not Do
We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information. We do not run newsletters, accounts, or comment systems that collect data. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13; this site’s content is written for adult homeowners.
External Links
Our guides cite external primary sources (government agencies, universities, vendors). Those sites have their own privacy policies, and this policy does not cover them.
Changes and Contact
If this policy changes, the date at the top of this page changes with it. Questions about this policy can be sent through the Contact page.
