This privacy policy discloses the privacy practices for the Lab Blab and Other Gab blog (http://labblabandothergab.blogspot.com). This privacy notice applies solely to information collected by this blog. It will notify you of the following:

1. What personally identifiable information is collected from you through the blog, how it is used and with whom it may be shared.

Information Collection, Use, and Sharing
This blog is operated by us - The Physics Classroom, LLC. We are the sole owners and decision-makers regarding the policies of this blog and the personal information that it requests and collects. We only have access to/collect information that you voluntarily give us via email, the comments section, or other direct contact from you. We will not sell or rent this information to anyone.

We will use the information you voluntarily give us to respond to you, regarding the reason you contacted us. We will not share your information with any third party outside of our organization, other than as necessary to fulfill your request. As with any blog, information that you leave as a comment on our blog will be published. You are in control of what that information is. We do not use the information for profit or distribution.

Unless you ask us not to, we may contact you via private email in the future to tell you about improvements, new products or services associated with our website, or changes to this privacy policy. 

The Purpose of Asking for Personal Information
We do not ask or require personal information in order to read this blog. If you use a subscription service to receive notifications of new blog posts, then that a third party service operates according to their own rules, independent of the blog and The Physics Classroom. 

We often post information in our blog about developments and resources available on our website - https://www.physicsclassroom.com. Those resources may collect names, emails, and other identifying information from high school students and educators. Our policy regarding why the information is needed, how it is stored, and how it is used is discussed in the Privacy Policy found on our website.

Ad Displays
This blog uses displays ads on most of its pages. The ads are part of the Google Adsense program. We make no individual decisions regarding what ads display on a particular page for a particular student. All such decisions are governed by Google.

We have a limited amount of control over which ads or what type of companies can display ads upon our website. We do exercise such control in an effort to prevent ads with objectionable content from displaying. There are entire categories of ads which should never appear on our screen because we have disabled such categories. For instance, advertisements for alcohol, tobacco products, lingerie, etc. should never appear on our pages since we have disabled these categories. We are also able to block ads that link to particular websites that might be considered objectionable and we do exercise such ablities to block ads. When we hear from teachers or parents about an objectionable ad, we use access to our Adsense account to locate the ads and block them.

It is important that users of our blog and our website recognize the importance of the Adsense program to our ongoing operations. It is one of our main sources of revenue and without it we would never be able to support the work of programmers and content providers nor pay for servers, content management systems, and other costs incurred on an annual basis. The implementation of the Adsense program allows us to provide a FREE website and maintain a blog that serves many millions of students every year. While the above practices do not guarantee the display of unobjectionable ad content, we pledge to be vigilant about the ad content that displays on our blog in order to keep all content appropriate. We are always appreciative of reports from parents and teachers to help us remain faithful to this pledge.

 

If you feel that we are not abiding by this privacy policy, you leave a comment on one of our posts.
