At The Omics Hub, protecting your privacy is a core priority. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use this website, how we use it, and what choices you have. By accessing this site, you agree to the terms described here.
For any questions regarding this policy, please reach out via our Contact page.
Information We Collect
We do not require account registration and do not collect personally identifiable information (PII) directly. The following data may be collected automatically:
- Log data: IP addresses, browser type, operating system, referring pages, and timestamps. This is standard for all web hosting services and is used only for analytical purposes.
- Cookies: Small files stored on your device that help the site function correctly and enable third-party analytics and advertising. See our Cookie Policy for details.
- Analytics data: Aggregated, anonymized usage data collected via analytics tools to understand how visitors interact with the site.
- Homepage visit counter: The homepage displays an aggregate visit number delivered by a third-party image counter. Loading that badge sends a standard image request to the counter service; it is a page-hit display, not a verified unique-person count.
Information You Submit
When you use the Service Inquiry Form, we collect the information you choose to provide, such as your name, email address, selected service, workflow details, project description, turnaround preference, and optional attachment. When you subscribe to the newsletter, we collect your email address and newsletter consent.
Forms are delivered through FormSubmit, a third-party form-processing service, so submitted information is transmitted to that service to route the inquiry or subscription request to The Omics Hub. Do not submit passwords, private keys, personally identifying participant data, protected health information, or other restricted research data through these forms. Submitted information is used only to respond to the inquiry, provide the requested resource or updates, maintain communication records, and protect the site from abuse.
You may request deletion of an inquiry or unsubscribe from newsletter communications through the Contact page. We do not sell personal information.
Google AdSense and Third-Party Advertising
This site may display advertisements through the Google AdSense program. When Google ads are served, Google, as a third-party vendor, may use cookies or similar technologies to serve advertisements based on your visits to this website and other sites on the internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ad Settings or by visiting aboutads.info.
Third-party ad servers or ad networks use technologies such as cookies, JavaScript, or web beacons in their advertisements. They receive your IP address automatically when this occurs. The Omics Hub has no access to or control over these third-party cookies. For more information, visit Google's Advertising Privacy Policy.
How We Use Information
- To analyze site traffic and improve the quality of our tutorials and content.
- To serve relevant advertisements through the Google AdSense program when advertising is enabled.
- To maintain site security and detect technical issues.
- We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal data to third parties.
Third-Party Privacy Policies
This Privacy Policy does not apply to external advertisers or third-party websites linked from this site. We recommend reviewing the respective privacy policies of any third-party services you interact with.
Children's Privacy
This website is intended for adult audiences and is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted information on this site, please contact us immediately and we will promptly remove it.
Your Rights (GDPR / CCPA)
Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete data held about you, and to opt out of certain data processing. To exercise these rights, please reach out via our Contact page.

Consent
By using this website, you acknowledge this Privacy Policy. Optional cookie choices are handled through the visible Cookie Preferences control and the options described in the Cookie Policy. Before personalized Google advertising is enabled for users in the EEA, the UK, or Switzerland, the site will use the consent-management configuration required by Google for those regions. Form submissions and newsletter subscriptions require the separate consent described beside each form.
