Privacy Policy
IBC Labs (“IBC Labs,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is an independent research organization studying identity, interaction boundaries, evaluation theory, and governance structures. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information in connection with your use of ibclabs.org (the “Site”).
1. Information We Collect
The Site does not require you to create an account, submit a form, or provide personal information to access its content. We do not knowingly collect personal information beyond what is described below.
1.1 Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, our hosting provider and any analytics tools we use may automatically collect limited technical information when you visit the Site, including:
• IP address
• Browser type and version
• Device and operating system information
• Pages viewed and time spent on the Site
• Referring website address
This information is collected in aggregate, is used solely to understand Site performance and improve the visitor experience, and is not used to identify individual visitors.
1.2 Cookies and Similar Technologies
The Site may use cookies or similar tracking technologies for basic functionality and analytics purposes. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings; doing so may affect certain Site features.
2. How We Use Information
Any information described above is used only to:
• Maintain and improve the Site's performance, security, and functionality
• Understand how visitors use the Site in aggregate
• Comply with legal obligations
We do not sell, rent, or trade any information collected through the Site.
3. Information Sharing
We do not share visitor information with third parties, except:
• With service providers who help operate the Site (e.g., hosting, analytics), under obligations to protect
that information
• If required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request
• To protect the rights, property, or safety of IBC Labs, our visitors, or others
4. Third-Party Links
The Site may link to third-party websites, research, or publications. IBC Labs is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of any third-party sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any external sites you visit.
5. Data Retention
Technical information described in Section 1.1 is retained only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, consistent with our hosting and analytics providers’ standard retention practices.
6. Your Choices
Because the Site does not collect personal information through forms or accounts, there is generally no personal data for IBC Labs to access, correct, or delete on your behalf. If you have contacted us directly (for example, by email) and would like that communication removed from our records, contact us using the information in Section 9.
7. Children’s Privacy
The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.
