Trust and data

Privacy policy

Last updated 28 July 2026. This page describes the privacy behaviour implemented by BMLabs and the disclosures required before advertising is enabled.

Core principle

BMLabs does not sell personal data to advertisers. Advertising storage defaults to denied and stays off until advertising is enabled and, for EEA, UK and Switzerland visitors, a valid consent signal is present.

Information you send

BMLabs does not operate a server-side contact form. The contact composer opens your own email application and sends nothing to BMLabs until you choose to send the email to bmlabskb@gmail.com.

Do not send passwords, payment details, identity documents, student records or confidential research material.

Browser-local preferences

Theme, reading-size, focus-mode and checklist preferences may be stored in localStorage on your device. These settings are not account data and are not synchronised to a BMLabs database.

You can clear them through your browser storage controls. Removing local storage resets the related preferences and local study progress.

Analytics and advertising

BMLabs uses Google Analytics to understand aggregate navigation and improve academic resources. A brief, dismissible on-screen notice informs visitors that analytics is active; it does not request a consent decision because no personal or identifying data is collected through this measurement.

Advertising (Google AdSense) is currently disabled site-wide while the BMLabs AdSense account is under review. No advertising cookies or advertising-related storage are set at this time.

If advertising is enabled after approval, third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies or similar technologies to serve and measure ads. Google advertising cookies may allow Google and its partners to select ads based on a user’s visit to BMLabs and/or other sites on the internet. Where required for visitors in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, BMLabs will use a Google-certified consent management platform integrated with the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework before any personalised advertising requests are made.

Users can manage or opt out of personalised Google advertising through Google Ads Settings once advertising is enabled.

Advertising does not influence article conclusions, corrections, publication status or reviewer decisions. The pages eligible for monetisation and the pages always excluded are described in the advertising policy.

Third-party resources

Some pages open or embed third-party resources such as Google Drive documents, GeoGebra, YouTube or external academic websites. Those providers may process data under their own privacy policies.

A link or embed is provided for access and does not imply endorsement of every statement, product or practice on the external service.

Questions and requests

For a privacy question or a request concerning information you previously emailed, contact bmlabskb@gmail.com. BMLabs cannot erase information held solely by an independent third-party provider; contact that provider directly where necessary.
