Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Dr. Lou Ignarro (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and safeguards information when you visit this website. By using this website, you agree to the practices described below.

Information We Collect

We collect information in two ways:

• Information you provide. When you complete the contact form, we collect the details you submit — typically your name, email address, subject, and message.
• Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our server and analytics tools may record technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device, referring page, and the pages you view. This information is collected through cookies and similar technologies.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to your inquiries and communicate with you;
• Operate, maintain, and improve the website and its content;
• Monitor and protect the security and integrity of the site;
• Comply with legal obligations.

Cookies and Analytics

This website may use cookies to support core functionality and to understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. You can set your browser to refuse some or all cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent; however, some parts of the site may not function properly without them.

Third-Party Services

We rely on trusted third-party providers to operate this website — for example, web hosting, form delivery, and analytics services. These providers process data only as needed to perform their services and are subject to their own privacy policies. We do not sell your personal information.

How We Share Information

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We may share information only with service providers acting on our behalf, or when required to do so by law, legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of our visitors or others.

Data Retention

We retain the information you submit for as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry and for our legitimate business or legal purposes, after which it is deleted or anonymized.

Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information against loss, misuse, and unauthorized access. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, or to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise these rights, please contact us using the details below. We will respond in accordance with applicable privacy laws.

Children’s Privacy

This website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.

External Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, such as publishers and research resources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those external sites and encourage you to review their privacy policies.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
