Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 6, 2026

Blue Leaf Labs (“we,” “our,” or “us”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit our website (www.blueleaflabs.org). We aim to comply with applicable U.S. privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA) and the U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

1. Information We Collect

We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide:

  • First name
  • Last name
  • Email address

This happens when you:

  • Use our contact form
  • Subscribe to our newsletter

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4), a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to understand how visitors use the site so that we can improve it. Google Analytics sets first-party cookies (such as _ga) and collects information including the pages you visit, the approximate geographic region derived from your device, your device and browser type, and the site or source that referred you. Google Analytics 4 does not log or store IP addresses.

This information is processed by Google under Google’s Privacy Policy, and depending on your Google account and browser settings, Google may use it for cross-device measurement and to personalize advertising across Google services. You can opt out by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, adjusting your Google Ad Settings, or blocking or clearing cookies in your browser.

If you are under 13, please ask a parent or guardian for permission before sending any personal information.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information only to:

  • Respond to your messages
  • Send newsletters or updates (if you subscribe)
  • Understand and improve how the site is used

You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any of our emails.

3. Parental Consent and Children’s Privacy

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without parental consent. If we learn that we have collected information from a child without consent, we will delete it promptly. Parents or guardians can contact us at hello [at] blueleaflabs [dot] org to review or delete their child’s data.

4. Data Retention

We keep the information you provide only as long as needed to respond to your messages or manage your newsletter subscription, then delete it securely. Analytics data is retained by Google according to the retention settings in our Google Analytics account.

5. Sharing of Information

We do not sell or rent your personal information for money. As described in Section 1, we use Google Analytics, and depending on your settings, Google may use analytics data for cross-device measurement and advertising; California law may treat this as “sharing,” and you can opt out using the controls listed in that section. Apart from this, we disclose your information only if required by law or to protect our legal rights.

6. Data Security

We use reasonable measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no online system is perfectly secure.

7. Your Rights

If you are a California resident, you may have the right to:

  • Know what personal information we hold about you
  • Request correction or deletion of your data
  • Opt out of the sharing of your information for advertising
  • Not be treated differently for exercising these rights

To exercise these rights, contact us at hello [at] blueleaflabs [dot] org.

8. Children’s Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

Our website is for general educational purposes and may be visited by students, including minors. We encourage children to involve a parent or guardian when providing information online.

9. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally. Updates will appear on this page with a new “Last updated” date. Continued use of the site means you accept the updated policy.
