Privacy Policy for BioMan Biology

At BioMan Biology, one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors.  There are two versions of BioMan Biology, an ad-supported version, and an ad-free member version. The ad-supported version is accessible from https://biomanbio.com/ whereas the ad-free member version is accessible from https://biomanbio.com/membersite/. Although the privacy policy for these two site versions are very similar, the ad-free member version does not use any ad technologies or cookies associated with ads or ad tracking. The similarities and differences between the two versions of the site will be specifically delineated below. This Privacy Policy document contains types of information that is collected and recorded by BioMan Biology and how we use it.

If you have additional questions or require more information about our Privacy Policy, do not hesitate to contact us.
