How we use your information
- To confirm that account holders are at least 21 years of age and are registering in a professional or research capacity;
- To create, manage, and authenticate your account;
- To process, fulfill, and ship your orders, and to respond to support inquiries;
- To send transactional communications (order confirmations, shipping notifications, account notifications, security alerts);
- To send optional catalog updates and new-compound notifications, only if you have opted in;
- To maintain records of compliance acknowledgments as part of our research-use framework;
- To detect, prevent, and investigate fraud, abuse of the Site, and violations of our Terms;
- To comply with legal obligations and respond to lawful requests from courts and regulators;
- To improve the Site and our services through aggregate, non-identifying analytics.
Legal bases for processing (EEA/UK users)
If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we process your personal information on one or more of the following legal bases: (a) performance of a contract with you (for account and order fulfillment); (b) compliance with our legal obligations; (c) our legitimate interests (in operating, protecting, and improving the Site); and (d) your consent (for optional marketing communications, which you may withdraw at any time).
Compliance records
Because products are sold exclusively for in-vitro laboratory research, we retain records of each compliance acknowledgment submitted during account creation and order placement, including the date, time, and IP address of each acknowledgment. These records may be produced in response to lawful requests from regulatory authorities.
Email communications
Transactional emails (order confirmations, shipping updates, password resets, account notifications) are sent automatically and are not subject to opt-out while you maintain an active account. Marketing and catalog-update emails require a separate opt-in and can be unsubscribed from at any time using the link in any such email. We do not sell or rent email addresses or other personal information.
Payment information
Payments are processed exclusively in cryptocurrency through our third-party payment processor, NOWPayments. Cryptocurrency transactions are completed on the relevant blockchain and are not processed on our servers. We do not collect, store, or have access to any cryptocurrency wallet credentials, private keys, or seed phrases.
From NOWPayments, we receive limited transaction confirmation data (such as the order identifier, transaction hash, payment status, amount paid, and currency used) to associate the payment with your order. We collect your billing address as part of the order so that we can issue a valid receipt and meet recordkeeping obligations.
NOWPayments operates as an independent service and processes information in accordance with its own privacy policy.
Third-party service providers
We use third-party service providers to operate the Site and fulfill orders. Each provider receives only the information necessary to perform its function. Categories include:
- Hosting and platform: Hostinger (web hosting), WordPress / WooCommerce (e-commerce platform).
- Payment processing: NOWPayments (cryptocurrency payment processor).
- Shipping carriers: USPS, UPS, FedEx, or equivalent — receive recipient name and shipping address only.
- Transactional email delivery: our transactional email service, used to send order confirmations and account notifications.
- Marketing email delivery: Brevo (formerly Sendinblue) — used for opt-in newsletter and catalog-update messages only. Receives email address (and first name where provided) for subscribers who have opted in.
We do not sell personal information to third parties. We may disclose information when required by law, valid legal process, or a lawful government or regulatory request.
Cookies
We use the following categories of cookies:
- Authentication cookies (set by WordPress) to keep you logged in.
- Research-use acknowledgment cookie set when you acknowledge the research-use notice, so you are not re-prompted on every visit.
- WooCommerce session cookies used to remember your cart and recent product views.
We do not use advertising cookies, third-party tracking pixels, or cross-site advertising networks.
Data retention
We retain personal information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes described in this Policy or as required by law:
- Account records and order history: retained for the duration of the account and for at least seven (7) years after account closure, to meet tax, accounting, and product-traceability obligations.
- Compliance acknowledgment records: retained for at least ten (10) years following the last order, as part of our research-use records.
- Marketing subscriptions: retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion.
- Server logs: retained for a limited operational period (generally no longer than 12 months).

California residents. Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), California residents may request disclosure of the categories and specific pieces of personal information collected, the categories of sources, the business purposes for collection, and the categories of third parties with whom we share personal information; may request deletion; may request correction; and may opt out of any “sale” or “sharing” of personal information.

Data security
We use commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information, including TLS/SSL encryption for data transmitted to and from the Site, password hashing, and access controls. No security measure is perfect, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of any information.
Minors
The Site is intended for adult researchers aged 21 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 21. If we learn we have collected information from a person under 21, we will delete it.
International data transfers

If you access the Site from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in the United States and in other countries where our service providers operate. Data protection laws in those jurisdictions may differ from those of your country.

We may update this Policy from time to time by posting a revised version to this page and updating the “Last updated” date above.
