I am Donovan Harshbarger, the owner and operator of GigaPhysics. I am committed to treating your information responsibly. Please take a moment to learn what information I may collect and how I would use it.
GigaPhysics is not targeted toward to children under thirteen, and I do not knowingly collect or maintain any information from children under thirteen.
Like most website owners, I have access to logs that provide anonymous statistics about visits to the web site. These logs tell me things such as when the visits occurred, which pages were visited, which web browsers were used, which pages’ links were followed to get here, and the IP addresses and broad geographic locations of the visitors. There is nothing in this information that tells me your name or lets me identify you personally.
I use Google Analytics to obtain anonymous statistics about visits to this site. Google Analytics collects information much like those in the web logs previously described, but they can also tell me information such as how many times a particular button was pressed on the site. This statistical information still does not allow me to discover the identities of site visitors. I use this information for purposes such as learning which parts of the site are most popular and which browsers I should support on this site. Google uses web cookies to collect this information, but you can prevent Google from setting cookies through your browser settings if you wish. The paragraph below is the notice that Google requires me to include since I use Google Analytics.
