This policy covers the dunescientific.com website, run by Dune Scientific, LLC, Seattle, Washington, USA. It explains what the site collects and what we do with it.
Contact form
When you use the form on the Connect page we receive your name, email address, subject and message by email. We use them only to answer you. We don’t sell or share them, and we don’t add you to a mailing list. To have your messages deleted, email contact@dunescientific.com.
Spam protection. To stop automated spam, the Connect page uses Cloudflare Turnstile, which checks that a person is filling in the form. On that page only, your browser connects to Cloudflare, which processes technical information such as your IP address and browser details for this check. See Cloudflare’s Turnstile privacy addendum. Other pages make no requests to Cloudflare.
Comments
When you comment on a blog post we receive the name, email address and website you enter, your comment, and your IP address and browser details. Your name, website and comment are shown publicly; your email address is not. Comments are checked for spam by Akismet, a service run by Automattic, which receives the comment and these details for the check. The pictures next to comments come from Gravatar, also run by Automattic, which receives a coded (hashed) form of the commenter’s email address. See Automattic’s privacy policy. To have a comment removed, email contact@dunescientific.com.
Server logs
