Privacy Policy




In compliance with the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which went into effect May 25, 2018, we’ve improved the way we describe our practices and how we explain the options you have to update, manage, export, and delete your data. This is all in an effort to give you more control over your personal data.


At Lab Bulletin, we are committed to maintaining the trust and confidence of our members and visitors to our web site but just in case you don’t believe us, in this updated Privacy Policy, we’ve provided lots of detailed information on when and why we collect your personal information, how we use it, the limited conditions under which we may disclose it to others and how we keep it secure. Grab a cuppa and read on!
