Privacy policy
Short version: this is a static reference site that sells nothing, so we collect almost nothing about you, we never sell or rent your data, and the only personal detail we'd ever hold is an email address you chose to give us. That's it.
What we collect
- Newsletter email (only if you opt in). If you subscribe, we store the email address you enter so we can send occasional updates. You gave it to us on purpose, and you can leave any time.
- Basic, privacy-friendly analytics. To understand what's useful and what's broken, we may collect aggregate, non-identifying usage stats — which pages are read, roughly where visitors come from. We aim to keep this minimal and free of cross-site tracking, and we don't build advertising profiles.
- Standard server logs. Like nearly every website, our host may keep short-lived technical logs (IP address, browser type) to serve pages and fend off abuse.
What we don't do
- We don't sell, rent, or trade your information — to anyone, ever.
- We don't run advertising networks or ad-tracking pixels.
- We don't require an account; there's nothing to log into.
- We don't try to identify you personally from your reading.
Cookies
We keep cookies to a minimum. We don't use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. Any analytics we run is chosen to be as light-touch as possible, and your browser settings can block cookies without breaking the site — nothing here depends on them.
Your email, and how to leave
If you subscribed and want out, every email includes an unsubscribe link, or you can write to hello@molecularreference.com and we'll remove you. Want to know what we hold, or want it deleted? Same address — just ask, and we'll handle it.
Third parties
A few service providers make the site work — a web host, an email tool if you subscribe, and any analytics provider we use. They only handle data on our behalf to run the site, not to market to you for their own ends. We link out to primary sources like PubMed, ClinicalTrials.gov, and the FDA; once you follow a link, that site's own privacy policy applies, not ours.
Children
This is an educational reference for adults and isn't directed at children. We don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 13.
Changes
If we change this policy, we'll update the effective date at the top. Because we collect so little, changes should be rare. Questions? Contact us.
