PRIVACY POLICY

Text Effective Date: March 1, 2006
Introduction
This Privacy Policy describes how our U.S.-based e-commerce platform (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and safeguards your personal information when you visit our website or purchase products. Our platform sells research peptides for research purposes only and is intended for use by U.S. residents age 18 and older. Users under the age of 18 are strictly prohibited from using the platform, and the site is not intended for children
We only ship products within the United States.. By using our website, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with our practices, please do not use the site. For any questions or concerns about this Policy or our data practices, please contact us using the information provided in the Contact Information section below.
Information We Collect
We collect several types of personal information in order to provide and improve our services. This includes information you provide directly to us (for example, when placing an order or creating an account) and information collected automatically when you use our site. We do not collect any sensitive health or medical data about you
Below is an overview of the types of information we collect:
Personal Identifiers: When you make a purchase or register on our site, we collect personal details such as your full name, email address, telephone number, and postal address (including billing and shipping address).
We require this information to process your orders, deliver products, and communicate with you about your purchases. You may also provide us with login credentials (such as a username and password) if you create an account on our platform.
Payment Information: If you make a purchase, you will provide payment details (e.g. credit or debit card information) at checkout. However, we do not store your full payment card details on our servers. Payment transactions are handled through a certified third-party payment processor, and your sensitive payment information is transmitted directly to them for processing.
We may retain non-sensitive payment identifiers such as the card type, expiration date, and last four digits for record-keeping and fraud prevention, but full card numbers or security codes are not collected or stored by us.
No Health Data: We want to emphasize that we do not collect any health information or medical data about our users. Please do not submit any personal health details to us. Our products are sold for research purposes only, and our site is not designed to collect or handle medical or health-related information.
Automatically Collected Data: When you interact with our website, we (and certain third parties) use cookies and similar tracking technologies to automatically collect technical and usage data about your visit. This may include your Internet Protocol (IP) address, device and browser type, operating system, referring website, pages or products viewed, actions taken on the site (such as adding items to cart), dates/times of access, and other standard web log information. We collect this information to understand how our site is used, to measure the performance of our services, and to help improve your experience. We describe our use of cookies and tracking technologies in more detail in the Cookies and Similar Technologies section of this Policy.
Cookies And Similar Technologies
Like most websites, we use cookies and similar tracking technologies (such as web beacons, pixels, and local storage objects) to enhance site functionality, analyze user behavior, and support our advertising efforts. Cookies are small text files placed on your browser or device that allow us or third parties to recognize you and remember your preferences. We utilize both session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which remain for a set period or until you delete them) for several purposes:
Functional Cookies: These cookies are essential for the website’s operation and enable core features such as your shopping cart, account login, and user preferences. For example, they allow us to remember items you added to your cart or your chosen language/settings, so that you can navigate the site efficiently. Without these cookies, certain services or features may not be available.
Analytics Cookies: We use analytics cookies to collect information about how visitors use our site, which pages are popular, and how users navigate through the site. This helps us understand user behavior and improve our website design, functionality, and content. For instance, our analytics tools may log data like which product pages you viewed and how long you stayed on a page. These cookies do not directly identify you by name, but they may capture identifiers like your IP address or device ID which can be used to recognize returning visitors in aggregate.
Advertising Cookies: Advertising and remarketing cookies are used to deliver relevant advertisements for our products on other websites or social media platforms, and to measure the performance of our ads. For example, if you visit our site, a cookie may remember that you viewed certain products, and we (or our advertising partners) may later show you ads for those or similar products on other sites. These cookies and pixels help us provide you with marketing content that is more likely to be of interest, and they prevent you from seeing the same ads too many times.
Third-Party Cookies: Some cookies on our site are placed by third-party service providers (described in the next section) acting on our behalf or by advertising partners. For example, analytics and advertising services like Google Analytics, Google Ads, Meta (Facebook/Instagram), TikTok, and others set cookies to collect usage and interaction data.
We detail these third-party services below.
Your Choices Regarding Cookies: By using our site, you consent to the use of cookies and similar technologies as described in this Policy. You have the ability to control or limit cookies through your browser settings and other tools. Most web browsers allow you to delete cookies, block all cookies, or alert you before a cookie is set. Please note that if you disable or reject certain cookies, some parts of our site may become inaccessible or not function properly (for example, you might not be able to use the shopping cart or login features). For more information about managing cookies, you can visit resources like AllAboutCookies.org which provide detailed guides on how to adjust browser cookie settings. We also honor any applicable requirements regarding user consent for cookies.
In addition, you can opt out of certain third-party tracking and advertising cookies:
Google Analytics Opt-Out: Google provides a browser add-on that allows you to prevent Google Analytics from using your data for analytics purposes. You can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on by visiting Google’s site. This will stop Google Analytics from recognizing you on any website that uses it.
Advertising Industry Opt-Outs: Many of our advertising partners are members of industry groups that offer centralized opt-out tools. For example, the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) and the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) provide websites where you can opt out of interest-based advertising from participating companies. To opt out of targeted ads from many ad networks, you can visit the DAA’s Consumer Choice page at optout.aboutads.info or the NAI’s opt-out page at networkadvertising.org/choices. These tools allow you to opt out of the use of your browsing behavior for personalized ads by companies that participate in these programs. (Note that this opt-out is typically cookie-based, so if you clear your cookies, you may need to opt out again.)
Social Media Ad Preferences: Platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok allow users to adjust their advertising preferences. You can control whether you see personalized ads on those platforms by modifying your settings on each service. For example, you can opt out of interest-based ads on Facebook and Instagram through the Ad Preferences settings in your Facebook/Instagram account. Similarly, Google lets users opt out of personalized ads via the Google Ads Settings page (adsettings.google.com). We encourage you to review the privacy settings and opt-out mechanisms provided by any social media or advertising services you use.
Third-Party Services And Data Collection
We utilize a number of trusted third-party services to support our website’s functionality, analytics, customer support, and advertising. These third parties may collect or have access to certain information about you or your device as needed to perform their functions. We do not share personal information with third parties for their own independent marketing purposes, and each service’s use of your data is limited by contractual agreements or their own privacy policies. Below is a list of third-party services we use, with a description of what they do and what data they typically handle:
Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to gather information about how visitors use our site. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect data such as your IP address, browser type, the pages you visit on our site, and the time you spend on each page.
This information is transmitted to Google and compiled into aggregate reports that help us understand website traffic and usage patterns. Google may also use the data collected from our site for its own purposes, such as improving Google Analytics or, in combination with data from other sites, personalizing the ads in its advertising network
We have configured Google Analytics to respect any applicable privacy settings (for instance, anonymizing IP addresses where applicable). To learn more about how Google uses data from sites that use its services, you can review Google’s Privacy Policy.
If you wish to opt out of Google Analytics tracking, please see the cookie opt-out options described above (e.g., installing Google’s opt-out browser add-on).
Google Ads (AdWords): Our site uses Google’s advertising and remarketing services (formerly known as Google AdWords) to reach customers through targeted ads. Google Ads employs cookies and tracking pixels to remember that you visited our site and to show you our advertisements on other websites within Google’s ad network. For example, if you browse our products, you may later see ads for our store when you search on Google or visit a site that displays Google Ads. This is known as remarketing, and it allows us to provide reminders and offers to interested visitors. The information collected via Google Ads cookies includes identifiers like your Google advertising ID, your IP address, and details about your interactions with our site (such as whether you viewed a particular product or made a purchase)
These cookies do not reveal your name or contact information to us; they simply enable us to better reach audiences with relevant ads. You can control the use of your data for Google advertising by adjusting your ad settings in your Google account, or by opting out of personalized ads as noted above. Google also provides resources such as the Google Ads Settings page and the Google Analytics opt-out add-on for users who wish to disable this type of tracking..
Google Merchant Center: We participate in Google Merchant Center to list our products on Google Shopping and related services. Google Merchant Center allows us to provide up-to-date product information to Google so that our items can appear in shopping results and ads. In the course of using Merchant Center, we may share certain data with Google, such as product details, pricing, and inventory, as well as transactional information like order confirmations for purchases originating from Google platforms. This means that if you discover our products via Google (for example, through a Shopping ad) and make a purchase, Google may receive information about that transaction for analytics and verification purposes. Google may collect data about your interactions with our product listings (such as click data) and any purchases made, in order to track conversion rates and ensure compliance with their policies. We do not provide Google with any more personal information than is necessary to facilitate these listings and ads. Any personal data that Google collects via Merchant Center or related ad services (like your Google account information or payment info if using Google services) is handled according to Google’s own privacy terms.
Facebook and Instagram (Meta Pixel): We use the Meta Pixel (formerly known as the Facebook Pixel) provided by Meta Platforms, Inc. (the parent company of Facebook and Instagram) to help us with advertising and analytics on Facebook and Instagram. The Meta Pixel is a snippet of code on our site that collects information about your activity on our website and sends it to Meta.
This allows us to measure the effectiveness of our Facebook/Instagram ads and to reach you with relevant ads on those platforms. For example, if you visit our site and view a particular product, the Pixel will note that activity. Later, you might see an ad for that product (or our brand in general) when you use Facebook or Instagram. The data collected through the Meta Pixel may include information such as your IP address, browser type, pages visited, time spent on our site, and purchase events. Meta may combine this information with data it holds on your Facebook/Instagram profile to tailor the advertisements you see.
All data we send to Meta is hashed (encrypted) and matched by Meta to user profiles in a privacy-protective manner; we do not see individual user identities through this process. Meta uses the data in accordance with its own Data Policy. You can opt out of receiving targeted ads from us on Facebook and Instagram by adjusting your ad preferences on those platforms. Meta also offers settings (like the “Off-Facebook Activity” tool) that allow you to disconnect your off-platform activity from your profile.
TikTok Pixel: Our site uses the TikTok Pixel, a similar tool provided by TikTok Inc., to assist with advertising campaigns on the TikTok platform. The TikTok Pixel is code embedded on our site that can track certain actions you take (such as viewing a product or completing a purchase) and report those events to TikTok. This data helps us measure ad conversions and retarget ads to interested customers on TikTok. The information collected via the TikTok Pixel typically includes cookie identifiers, your IP address, and details about the pages you visited or products you viewed on our site. TikTok may use this information to match you with your TikTok user profile and show you ads for our products or brand within the TikTok app. We do not receive any personal identifiers from TikTok; we only receive aggregated advertising reports (for example, how many users clicked on our TikTok ad and then made a purchase). TikTok’s use of data through the Pixel is subject to TikTok’s privacy policies. If you are a TikTok user, you can manage your ad settings in the TikTok app to control how ads are personalized to you.
Intercom (Customer Support Chat): We utilize Intercom, Inc.’s customer messaging platform on our website to provide live chat support and customer service assistance. If you use the chat feature on our site (for example, to ask a question about a product or request help with an order), Intercom will collect the information you provide in the chat interface. This may include your name, email address (if you provide it or if it’s associated with your account), and the contents of your messages. Intercom’s system also automatically captures certain technical data to help us assist you better, such as which page you are on when you initiate a chat and basic browser information. We use Intercom to track and manage customer inquiries so we can respond effectively and keep a record of support conversations. Intercom acts as a data processor on our behalf; it stores and organizes the chat data but does not use it for any purpose other than delivering the service to us. Any information you share via the chat will be used only to address your inquiry or provide support. Intercom maintains its own privacy and security measures to protect the data within its platform. If you prefer not to use the chat, you can always contact us by email or phone as an alternative.
Mixpanel: We use Mixpanel, an analytics service provided by Mixpanel, Inc., to gain deeper insights into how users interact with our website. Mixpanel helps us analyze user actions and behaviors (often called “event data”) so we can improve our platform’s usability and features. Through Mixpanel, we may track events such as product page views, items added to cart, checkout steps, and other in-site activities. The information Mixpanel collects includes usage data like the buttons or links you click, the pages you visit, timestamps of those events, and technical data about your device or browser. This data is typically associated with an anonymous unique identifier (or a user ID if you are logged in) rather than your personal identity. Mixpanel uses cookies or similar technologies to distinguish users and log event data.
We may also send Mixpanel basic profile information (like an internal customer ID or email hash) if needed to connect user activity across devices, but we do not send sensitive personal details to Mixpanel. The insights provided by Mixpanel help us find and fix usability issues, test new features, and understand what features are most popular with our users. Mixpanel is obligated to protect the data it processes for us and not to share it. If you wish, you can opt out of Mixpanel tracking by using Mixpanel’s opt-out methods or by configuring your browser to block third-party cookies (as described above, blocking cookies may affect tracking). For more details on Mixpanel’s data practices, you can review Mixpanel’s privacy policy on their website.
We may update this list of third-party services from time to time as our business needs change. Whenever we add a significant new third-party integration that affects how your data is collected or used, we will reflect that change in this Privacy Policy. We will also provide any required notices or obtain consent if mandated by law or industry guidelines.
How We Use Your Information
We use the personal information we collect for a variety of legitimate business purposes, all aimed at providing you with our products and services, improving your customer experience, and protecting our operations. Below are the primary purposes for which we process your information:
Order Processing and Fulfillment: We use your name, address, phone number, and email to process and fulfill your orders. This includes using your information to confirm and ship your purchases, provide order and shipping confirmations, update you on the status of your delivery, and handle returns or exchanges as necessary. For example, we will use your shipping address to deliver the products you purchased, and we will use your email to send you a receipt and tracking information. Payment information (such as your card details) is used to bill you for the products you ordered, via our secure payment processor.
Account Creation and Maintenance: If you create an account on our platform, we use the information you provide (like your email and password) to set up and maintain your account. This allows you to securely log in, view your order history, store preferences (such as default shipping address), and expedite future checkouts. We also use account data to authenticate your identity when you contact us or request support.
Customer Service and Support: When you contact us with questions, feedback, or issues, we use the information you provide (including any contact information and the content of your communications) to respond and assist you. For instance, if you email our support team or reach out via Intercom chat, we will review your inquiry and reply using your email or via the chat interface to resolve your issue. We may also access your account or order information to help address your questions. Our goal is to use your data to serve you better and ensure any problems are resolved efficiently.
Communications: We may use your contact information to communicate with you about important service-related matters. This includes sending transactional emails or texts for things like order confirmations, shipping notifications, changes to our terms or policies, or customer service follow-ups. Such communications are necessary for us to fulfill our contract with you (your purchase) or to keep you informed of critical information regarding your use of our site. Please note that these transactional or administrative communications are not promotional in nature, and you cannot opt out of them as long as you have active orders or an account (except by closing your account, if applicable).
Marketing and Promotional Messages: With your consent or as otherwise permitted by law, we may use your email address or phone number to send you marketing communications about our products, special offers, or newsletters that we believe may interest you.
For example, after making a purchase, we might email you a discount code for a future purchase or inform you of new peptide products in our catalog. We do not sell or share your contact details with outside parties for their own marketing, and any promotional messages will come directly from us. If you no longer wish to receive marketing emails or SMS messages, you can opt out at any time (see the Email and SMS Marketing section below for how to opt out).
Analytics and Improvement: We use data (mostly aggregated or anonymized) about how users navigate and use our site to analyze trends and improve our platform’s design, functionality, and content. For instance, we might look at overall traffic patterns, the flow of users through our checkout, or the effectiveness of a marketing campaign. This helps us identify what is working well and what could be improved, ultimately allowing us to enhance user experience. We also use analytics data to debug issues (like errors or broken links) and to test changes to our interface (for example, through A/B testing new features). All of these uses are aimed at making our services more user-friendly, relevant, and secure.
Advertising and Retargeting: As described earlier, we use certain data to conduct advertising campaigns and retarget users with ads for our products on third-party platforms like Google, Facebook/Instagram, and TikTok. This involves using cookies and pixel data to identify that you have visited our site, so we can show you follow-up ads. We also analyze the results of these campaigns (e.g., how many people who saw an ad ended up visiting our site or purchasing) to measure their effectiveness. Advertising helps us reach new customers and remind past visitors about our products, which supports our business growth. Any such advertising use of data is done in accordance with applicable laws and the privacy controls offered to you (for example, you will not receive such ads if you have opted out of targeted advertising as described above).
Security and Fraud Prevention: We may use personal information as necessary to protect the security of our website, our business, and other users. This includes monitoring for fraudulent transactions or account activity, troubleshooting technical vulnerabilities, and detecting/preventing malicious or illegal activities. For example, we might use your IP address and device information to help identify and block suspicious logins, or use order information to detect patterns of fraud. We also reserve the right to use and share information as needed to investigate or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the safety or legal rights of any person, or as evidence in litigation in which we are involved. These uses are essential for maintaining a safe and lawful service.
Legal Compliance: We will use and disclose personal information where required to comply with applicable laws, regulations, legal processes, or governmental requests. For instance, we may retain and produce records to satisfy tax and accounting obligations, or respond to subpoenas or court orders. We also may use your information to enforce our Terms of Service or other agreements, or to establish or exercise our legal rights.
We will only use your personal information for the purposes described above and will not use it in ways that are incompatible with those purposes without your consent. Information collected will only be used for the purposes stated in this policy and not for any other purposes, and we do not sell your personal data to third parties.
If we need to use your information for a substantially different purpose in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy and notify you as required, and if necessary, seek your consent.
Sharing And Disclosure Of Information
We understand the importance of keeping your personal information private. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to unaffiliated third parties for their own marketing use.
We only share your information in a few specific circumstances, outlined below, and always with appropriate safeguards and only to the extent necessary:
Service Providers and Vendors: We share personal information with trusted third-party service providers who perform functions on our behalf to operate our business. These include payment processors, shipping carriers, website hosting providers, analytics and advertising partners, customer service platforms, email/SMS delivery services, and other IT or business support providers. For example, we share your shipping name and address with our delivery partners (such as USPS, UPS, or FedEx) to ship your order, and we share necessary order details with our payment processor to charge your credit card. Similarly, if we use an email service to send newsletters, that provider will handle your email address for us. In all cases, we provide these partners only with the information they need to perform their specific service (for instance, the shipping carrier does not receive your email or payment info, and the payment processor does not receive your physical address, unless needed for fraud screening). Our service providers are contractually obligated to protect your information, use it solely for the purpose of providing services to us, and not to disclose it or use it for other purposes.
Third-Party Integrations: As described in the Third-Party Services section, certain features on our site involve third parties that collect information via our site (such as Google, Meta/Facebook, TikTok, Intercom, Mixpanel, etc.). In such cases, we allow those partners to collect or receive information for the specific purposes described (analytics, advertising, customer support, etc.). We ensure that these integrations are disclosed to you and, where applicable, we obtain any necessary consent. Each of these third parties processes data in accordance with their own privacy policies, but they are restricted by their agreements with us to only use the data for the intended service. If you have questions about any particular integration, please refer to the descriptions above or contact us for more information.
Legal Requirements and Protection of Rights: We may disclose personal information if required to do so by law or legal process, or if we, in good faith, believe that such action is necessary to (i) comply with a legal obligation (for example, responding to a subpoena, warrant, or court order); (ii) protect and defend our rights or property, or the rights, property, or safety of our customers or others; (iii) investigate and defend against any third-party claims or allegations; or (iv) detect, prevent, or otherwise address criminal activity, security, or technical issues (such as fraud or abuse). In short, if we are legally compelled to share your data or if sharing is necessary to prevent harm or illegal activity, we will do so in accordance with applicable laws.
Business Transfers: In the event that our Company undergoes a business transaction such as a merger, acquisition by another company, reorganization, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, personal information may be transferred as part of that deal. We would provide notice to the affected users before personal information becomes subject to a different privacy policy (for example, if the new owner plans to materially change how data is handled). Similarly, if we ever enter bankruptcy or receivership, your information could be considered an asset transferred to a third party. In any such transfer, we will ensure the successor entity honors the commitments we have made in this Privacy Policy with respect to your personal information (unless you consent otherwise).
Aside from the cases listed above, we will not disclose your personal information to any other third parties. In particular, we do not share your personal data with third-party advertisers or marketers except as described (i.e., through controlled mechanisms like pixels where your data is used only to help us advertise our own products). We do not sell customer lists or email addresses to other companies. All handling of your data is done with respect for your privacy and in line with the permissions you have granted.
Data Retention
We retain personal information for only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
This means:
Customer and Order Data: We will keep your basic personal details (such as contact information and order history) as long as you remain a customer. If you have created an account with us, we will retain your account information until you deactivate your account or request deletion, and for a reasonable period thereafter in case you decide to reactivate or to comply with legal requirements. Order records are generally retained for several years to facilitate warranty service, returns, or inquiries, and to comply with financial record-keeping obligations. For example, we may keep a record of your purchases and invoices for at least the minimum period required by tax and accounting laws.
Marketing Data: We retain information used for marketing (like your email for newsletters) until you opt out of such communications. If you unsubscribe from our marketing emails or SMS, we will remove you from the list immediately, but we may keep a record of your contact information to ensure we honor your opt-out going forward. We do not want to send you unwanted communications, so we maintain suppression lists of unsubscribed addresses/numbers as required by law.
Analytics Data: Aggregated analytics data (which does not directly identify you) may be retained indefinitely to help us understand long-term trends and improve our site. However, identifiable analytics or log data tied to your profile is typically anonymized or deleted once it’s no longer needed for our business analysis. For instance, raw web server logs containing IP addresses are usually rotated and purged regularly unless needed for security analysis.
Legal Retention: We will retain personal information as needed to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. For example, if a law requires us to preserve records for a certain period (such as transaction data for financial audits), we will abide by those requirements. Also, if we are involved in litigation or receive a legal hold notice, we may need to retain relevant information until the matter is resolved.
When we no longer have a legitimate need or legal obligation to retain your personal information, we will securely dispose of it. This may involve permanently deleting the data from our systems, or anonymizing it so that it can no longer be associated with you. For instance, we may anonymize customer purchase data for statistical analysis after a few years, and delete any remaining personally identifiable details. Our goal is not to keep your information longer than necessary. If you have specific questions about our data retention practices (for example, if you want to know if we still have certain information about you), you can contact us at any time for more information.
Data Security
We take the security of your personal information seriously and employ industry-standard security measures to protect it from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include:
Encryption: We use encryption protocols to protect sensitive data during transmission. For example, our website is secured via HTTPS, which means that information you enter (such as your login credentials or payment details) is encrypted using Secure Socket Layer (SSL)/Transport Layer Security (TLS) while it travels over the Internet. Additionally, any stored sensitive information (like password hashes) is encrypted or hashed at rest in our databases.
Access Controls: We limit access to personal data to employees and service providers who have a need to know such information for the purposes described in this Policy. All personnel with such access are subject to confidentiality obligations and are trained on data protection. We also implement authentication safeguards (such as requiring strong passwords and two-factor authentication for administrative access) to prevent unauthorized access to systems where personal information is stored.
Firewalls and Network Security: Our servers and network are protected by firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and other technical safeguards to prevent unauthorized network access. We regularly update our system software and apply security patches to address potential vulnerabilities.
Monitoring and Testing: We monitor our systems for possible vulnerabilities and attacks, and we conduct regular security assessments. This may include periodic penetration testing, code reviews, and simulations of potential incidents to ensure our defenses remain effective.
We also maintain an incident response plan to handle any security breaches swiftly and effectively.
PCI Compliance: For payment processing, we rely on PCI-DSS compliant service providers. PCI-DSS is a security standard for companies that handle credit card information, and compliance ensures that payment data is processed with the highest security. As noted, we do not store your card details on our own servers, which further reduces risk.
While we strive to protect your data, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security of your information. For example, email communications are not always secure, so please refrain from sending sensitive information (like full credit card numbers or passwords) to us via email. You use our site and provide personal information at your own risk. That said, we will do our best to keep your data safe and we continuously update our security practices to adapt to new threats. If we ever discover a security breach that results in the unauthorized access to or disclosure of your personal information, we will notify you as soon as possible and as required by law, and we will take all necessary steps to mitigate the issue.
You also play an important role in protecting your information. We encourage you to choose a strong, unique password for your account and to keep it confidential. Please notify us immediately if you suspect any unauthorized access to your account or any security concerns.
Your Rights And Choices
Even though we are a U.S.-based business (and not directly subject to certain international privacy laws), we are committed to respecting your rights over your personal information. Depending on applicable law and our policies, you may have some or all of the following rights regarding your data:
Access and Correction: You have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you and to request corrections of any inaccuracies. This means you can ask us to provide you with a copy of the specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you. If any of that information is incorrect or has changed (for example, you need to update your mailing address or phone number), you have the right to request that we correct or update it. We provide mechanisms for you to review and change your information directly (for instance, you can log into your account to edit your profile details at any time). Alternatively, you can contact us and we will be happy to make the corrections for you.
Deletion (Right to Erasure): You can request that we delete personal information that we have collected from you. For example, if you have an account and you wish to close it, you can ask us to delete your account information. Please note that we may need to retain certain information for specific reasons (as outlined in the Data Retention section) – for instance, we might retain transaction records to comply with legal obligations. If that is the case, we will inform you of what data cannot be deleted and why. Otherwise, we will make reasonable efforts to honor your deletion request and will let you know when the process is completed.
Opt-Out of Marketing Communications: You have the absolute right to opt out of receiving marketing or promotional communications from us. If you prefer not to receive our newsletter, special offers, or other marketing emails, you can click the “unsubscribe” link included in the footer of those emails, and we will remove you from our mailing list.
. If you have provided your phone number for SMS marketing, you can opt out of text messages by following the instructions in the message (typically replying “STOP” to any promotional SMS). You may also contact us directly at any time and request to be removed from future marketing outreach. We will process your opt-out request as soon as possible. Please note that even if you opt out of marketing, we may still send you transactional or service-related communications (such as order updates or account notifications), as those are not promotional.
Opt-Out of Targeted Advertising: As detailed in the Cookies section, you have options to opt out of targeted advertising and tracking by third parties. This includes using industry opt-out tools for ad networks and adjusting settings on platforms like Google, Facebook, and TikTok. We encourage you to take advantage of those tools if you want to limit the use of your browsing data for personalized ads. Additionally, if at any time you wish for us not to use certain data (that we control) for advertising purposes, you can contact us with that request and we will do our best to accommodate it (for example, we can exclude your device or browser from future retargeting audiences under our control).
California Privacy Rights: Although we focus on U.S. customers and may not meet the strict thresholds of the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) or California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), if you are a California resident you may have certain additional rights. These can include the right to request disclosure of the categories of personal information we have collected about you, the categories of sources of that information, the business purpose for collecting it, the categories of third parties with whom we share it, and specific pieces of information collected. California law may also provide the right to request deletion of your data and the right to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of your personal information (as defined by California law). As stated, we do not sell your personal information to third parties for monetary value.
If California law applies and you wish to exercise any rights it provides, please contact us and we will process your request in accordance with applicable regulations. Additionally, California’s “Shine the Light” law (Civil Code Section § 1798.83) allows users who are California residents to annually request information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. We do not disclose personal information to third parties for their own direct marketing; therefore, we have no such information to provide.
Other State Privacy Rights: A few other U.S. states have enacted privacy laws (such as Virginia, Colorado, and others). If you reside in one of these states, you may have similar rights to access or delete personal data and to opt out of certain data uses. We will honor all valid rights requests in accordance with applicable state laws. Please reach out to us to exercise any privacy rights provided under your state’s laws. We will verify your identity and respond within the timeframe required by law. Typically, such requests are fulfilled free of charge, unless they are excessive or unfounded, in which case a reasonable fee may apply as permitted by law.
Complaints: If you have concerns about how we handle your personal information, please let us know so we can address them. While we are not governed by GDPR (which provides a right to lodge a complaint with an EU supervisory authority), we still take privacy complaints seriously. As a U.S. consumer, you can contact the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) or your state Attorney General’s office if you believe your rights have been violated. We sincerely prefer to work with you directly to resolve any issue, and we commit to investigating and responding to complaints promptly.
To exercise any of your rights or choices described above, please contact us using the information in the Contact section of this Policy. For your privacy and security, we may take steps to verify your identity before fulfilling your request (for example, by asking you to confirm some information associated with your account or recent transactions). This is to ensure that we do not provide or delete personal data improperly at the request of someone else. Verification information will be used only for that purpose. We will respond to your request within a reasonable timeframe, and in any event within the timeframe required by applicable law (if any). If we need more time, we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your privacy rights. In other words, if you choose to exercise rights such as opting out of marketing or requesting data deletion, we will not deny you goods or services, charge you a different price, or provide a different level of service (except to the extent the data in question is necessary for providing the service, in which case deletion might mean we can no longer provide that service). Your privacy choices are respected and will not negatively affect the quality of service you receive from us.
Users Under 18 (Children’s Privacy)
As noted, our platform is intended for adults only. We do not knowingly permit anyone under the age of 18 to use our website or purchase our products, and we do not intentionally collect personal information from persons under 18 years old.
. If you are under 18, you must not use or attempt to register on this site, and you should not provide any personal information to us. We have implemented an age verification step during account creation or checkout to ensure that users confirm they are 18 or older. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected personal information from an individual under 18 without proper parental consent, we will take immediate steps to delete that information from our records.
Parents or guardians: If you become aware that your minor child (under 18) has provided personal information to us or has somehow used our site, please contact us right away. We will work with you to remove any such data and ensure the child’s account (if any) is closed. We take children’s privacy seriously and comply with all applicable laws such as the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) which governs data of children under 13. Our stricter internal policy extends this protection to all minors under 18 due to the nature of our products.
Please note that our site may contain general information about research peptides and related topics, but it is not intended to attract children. We do not market or advertise our products to minors. All promotions and content are aimed at adult researchers or customers. By using our site, you represent that you are at least 18 years of age.
Email And SMS Marketing Communications
Email Marketing: With your consent, we may send you email newsletters, promotional offers, or product updates from time to time. You will receive such emails only if you have an existing relationship with us or have subscribed to our mailing list. For example, when you create an account or make a purchase, we might ask for your permission to send you promotional emails. We strive to send content that is relevant and beneficial to you, such as discounts on re-orders or announcements of new research peptide products that align with your interests. However, you have the right to opt out of our marketing emails at any time. Each marketing email we send includes an “Unsubscribe” link at the bottom. By clicking that link and confirming, you will be removed from future marketing emails. You can also unsubscribe by contacting us directly and requesting removal. Once you opt out, we will stop sending marketing emails to your address (please allow a short processing time, as some campaigns might already be in progress). Opting out of marketing emails will not affect your receipt of important service emails about your orders or account as noted earlier. We comply with the CAN-SPAM Act and other applicable regulations, meaning our marketing emails will always clearly identify the sender, contain a valid reply address, and provide a clear way to opt out. We will promptly honor all opt-out requests as required by law.
SMS/Text Messages: If you have provided your mobile phone number to us and explicitly consented to receive text message updates or promotions, we may send you SMS messages. Common uses of SMS in our context might include order status alerts (e.g., “Your package has shipped” or delivery notifications) or occasional promotional offers if you opted in to such messages. We will only send marketing text messages if you have agreed to receive them, typically by checking a box or texting a designated keyword to our number as part of a signup. Standard messaging rates apply, and message frequency may vary. How to Opt Out of SMS: You can opt out of text messages from us at any time by replying with the word “STOP” (or as otherwise instructed in the message) to any SMS you receive. Once we receive a STOP request, we will send a final message confirming your opt-out, and after that you will not receive further SMS marketing unless you re-subscribe. Alternatively, you can contact customer service and request to be removed from SMS notifications. We will ensure your number is taken off our texting list. We adhere to the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) and other relevant laws, meaning we will not send unsolicited marketing texts and we will respect all requests to withdraw consent.
We never want to spam or annoy our customers. Our goal with email and SMS communications is to keep you informed and maybe offer added value (like discounts), but only if you find it useful. If at any point you feel you are receiving unwanted communications, please let us know and we will rectify it immediately. Your preferences are important to us, and we aim to make opting out as easy as opting in.
Also, note that if you opt in to receive communications (email or SMS) in one context (such as providing your email for an order receipt), we will not automatically use that for marketing unless you have given clear permission. We separate transactional communications from marketing. If you have multiple contact methods on file (say, two email addresses), your opt-out for one does not automatically cover the other. Please specify all accounts or addresses you want unsubscribed when making a request, or simply opt out via each channel individually.
International Users
Our website and services are intended for customers within the United States. We do not actively market to or knowingly collect information from individuals outside the U.S. If you are accessing the site from outside the United States, be aware that your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States (where our servers and central database are located). The data protection laws of the United States may differ from those in your country of residence. By using our site, you acknowledge that your information will be handled as described in this Privacy Policy. We will protect your data according to this Policy no matter where it is processed. However, if you are in a jurisdiction that has specific privacy rights (for example, the European Union under GDPR), please note that this Policy is focused on U.S. law and we may not offer the same rights by default unless required. That said, we value all our users’ privacy and will try to accommodate international privacy requests on a case-by-case basis even if those laws do not directly apply to us.
Changes To This Privacy Policy
We may update or modify this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, legal requirements, or for other operational reasons. If we make material changes to how we handle your personal information, we will notify you by posting the updated Policy on our website with a new effective date, and/or by sending a notice to the primary email address associated with your account. Any significant changes will be highlighted so you can review them. We encourage you to periodically review this Privacy Policy whenever you access our site to stay informed about our data practices and how you can protect your privacy. Your continued use of the site after any changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any updates or modifications, you should stop using the site and contact us if you wish to remove your information. For historical reference, we will archive prior versions of this Policy and will make them available upon request so you can see what has changed.
