BME LabFlow (www.bmelabflow.com) is a lab-inventory app for the Biomedical Engineering labs at the University of North Dakota. It keeps track of lab equipment, supplies, 3D printers, loans, and reservations. This page explains what information LabFlow keeps and how it’s used.
What we collect
- From your Google account, when you sign in: your name, email address, and profile picture. LabFlow asks Google only for these basic profile details. It never sees your Google password and has no access to your Gmail, Drive, or anything else in your account.
- What you tell us: the note you send with an access request, and the course or program on your profile.
- What you do in LabFlow: items you check out, return, or reserve; requests and issue reports you send; items you scan or look at; and notifications sent to you. Changes are also recorded in an activity log so the lab can see who did what.
- Files lab managers upload: item photos and equipment manuals.
How it’s used
Only to run the labs: letting you sign in, deciding who has access, lending and tracking equipment, sending you reminders about loans and bookings, and producing usage reports for the department. LabFlow doesn’t show ads, doesn’t sell or share your information for marketing, and doesn’t use it for anything unrelated to the labs.
Who can see it
You can see your own loans, reservations, and requests. Lab managers and administrators can see everyone’s, so they can approve requests and keep track of equipment. Nobody else is given access.
Cookies
LabFlow uses one cookie to keep you signed in, and remembers a few display preferences in your browser. There are no advertising or tracking cookies and no third-party analytics.
Where it’s stored
LabFlow runs on Vercel. Its database is hosted by Neon, uploaded files are kept in private Vercel Blob storage, and sign-in is handled by Google. These providers store the data on LabFlow’s behalf and don’t use it for their own purposes.
How long we keep it
Your account and lab history are kept while you use LabFlow, because loan and maintenance records matter to the lab. You can ask for your account to be removed at any time; records the lab needs for accountability (such as who borrowed a piece of equipment) may be kept without your contact details.
Your choices
You can turn notifications on or off in Settings, and ask us to see, correct, or delete the information LabFlow holds about you by emailing aimeneaihar@gmail.com.
