Simple message from Matt
Chemistrystudent.com was set up to help students learn and understand chemistry — that’s it! We believe in the right to browse the site without unnecessary tracking, and we do not aim to collect data on individual users. We only use simple, privacy-friendly analytics to understand how the site is used and how it can be improved. We take this seriously and actually pay a subscription to use a privacy-friendly analytics tool, Plausible, which does not use cookies. We do not currently use Google Analytics because we want to avoid cookie-based analytics. If you contact us directly, we will only use the information you provide to respond to your enquiry. For more detailed information, please see below. Our key interest is, and always will be, helping students learn chemistry :)
This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you use chemistrystudent.com and how that information may be used.
