Privacy Policy

Effective Date: March 24, 2026

Instrumented Science, LLC ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website at instrumentedscience.com. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit our site or communicate with us.

We keep this policy straightforward because our data practices are simple: we collect only what we need to respond to you, we don't share or sell your data, and we delete it after 90 days.

Information We Collect

Information you provide directly. When you submit our contact form (powered by Tally), or reach out by phone or email, we may collect your name, email address, phone number, and the content of your message.

Information collected automatically. When you visit our site, Google Analytics collects standard usage data such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and time spent on pages. This data is aggregated and not used to personally identify you.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to respond to your inquiries and schedule consultations, improve our website and services, and understand how visitors use our site in aggregate.

That's it. We do not use your information for marketing purposes unless you explicitly opt in, and we do not build profiles from your inquiries.

AI and Automated Decision-Making

We do not use your inquiries, messages, or any personal information you provide to train, fine-tune, or otherwise develop artificial intelligence or machine learning models. Your communications with us remain just that — communications with us. Any AI tools we use internally for our consulting work operate on client data only under separate, explicit agreements with defined scope and protections.

Cookies and Tracking

Our site uses cookies set by Google Analytics to understand site traffic in aggregate. These cookies do not identify you personally. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on or by configuring your browser to reject cookies.

We do not use advertising cookies or retargeting pixels.

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services that may process data on our behalf:

• Google Analytics — website traffic analysis (Google Privacy Policy)
• Tally — contact form hosting (Tally Privacy Policy)

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with any other third parties.

Data Retention

We retain contact form submissions and related correspondence for 90 days, after which they are deleted. Google Analytics data is retained according to Google's standard retention settings.

Your Rights

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) grants you the right to know what personal information we have collected, request deletion of your personal information, and opt out of the sale of your personal information (which we do not do).

If you are an Illinois resident, we want you to know that we do not collect biometric data and our data practices are consistent with applicable Illinois privacy law.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@instrumentedscience.com.
