Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 22, 2026

This policy explains the information processed when you visit Water Independence Lab or voluntarily submit the contact form.

Information you submit

The contact form asks for your name, email address, and message. This information is processed so the site operator can review and respond to your inquiry. Please do not send sensitive personal, medical, financial, or confidential information.

Netlify hosting and forms

This website is intended to be hosted by Netlify. Netlify may process technical information needed to deliver and protect the site, such as IP address, browser or device details, requested pages, timestamps, and security logs. Contact submissions are processed and stored through Netlify Forms. Netlify’s own privacy terms apply to its processing.

Affiliate links

Some outbound links are affiliate links. If you voluntarily follow one, the destination website and affiliate network may receive referral information and process data under their own privacy policies. Water Independence Lab may earn a commission if a qualifying purchase follows.

Analytics and cookies

This website uses Google Analytics 4 to understand site traffic and engagement, including page views, scrolling, and outbound-link interactions. Google Analytics may use cookies and process technical information such as device and browser details, approximate location derived from IP address, referral information, and interactions with the site. We use this information to understand and improve site performance. Google’s own privacy terms apply to its processing.

The site does not currently install Google Ads conversion tracking or other advertising pixels. If additional advertising or consent technologies are enabled later, this policy will be updated as appropriate.

Retention and your choices

Contact submissions should be retained only as long as reasonably necessary to address the message, maintain appropriate records, prevent abuse, or meet legal obligations. You may use the contact form to ask a privacy question or request review or deletion of a previous submission. To help locate it, use the same email address included in the original message.

Children

This website is not directed to children, and the contact form should not be used by anyone who is not legally able to provide the submitted information.

Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated when site features, hosting practices, analytics, advertising, or legal requirements change. The revision date above will be updated when material changes are published.
