Privacy Policy

How BiotechPeptides.us collects, uses, and protects the personal information you share with us.

Overview

This Privacy Policy applies to all visitors and customers of BiotechPeptides.us, operated by BiotechPeptides LLC. By using our website or placing an order, you agree to the practices described here.

We are committed to protecting your personal information and being transparent about what we collect and why. This policy explains our data practices in plain language and outlines the rights you have over your information.

BiotechPeptides.us sells research peptides strictly for in vitro laboratory use. We do not knowingly process orders for end-consumer personal use, and the information we collect is limited to what is necessary to fulfill research supply orders and maintain compliant business operations.

Data We Collect

We collect only the information necessary to operate our business, process your orders, and improve your experience. The categories below outline what we gather and when.

Category Examples When Collected

We never store full payment card numbers. All payment processing is handled by PCI-DSS compliant third-party processors (Stripe). We only retain a tokenised reference and billing address.

How We Use Your Information

We use personal data for specific, legitimate purposes only. We do not use your data for automated profiling or sell it to advertisers.

  • Order fulfillment — process payments, arrange shipping, generate Certificates of Analysis, and provide order status updates.
  • Customer support — respond to inquiries, handle damage or lost package claims, and resolve disputes.
  • Account management — create and maintain your customer account, order history, and saved preferences.
  • Legal compliance — retain transaction records as required by applicable tax, export control, and commercial laws.
  • Fraud prevention — detect and prevent fraudulent orders, chargebacks, and misuse of our platform.
  • Service improvement — analyse aggregated, anonymised usage data to improve site performance and product selection.
  • Marketing (opt-in only) — send promotional emails or restock alerts only if you have explicitly subscribed. You may unsubscribe at any time.

We will never sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes.

We share personal data only with trusted partners who are contractually obligated to protect it, and only to the extent necessary to deliver our services.

Data Security

Our website uses TLS 1.3 encryption for all data in transit. Sensitive data at rest is encrypted using AES-256.

We implement industry-standard technical and organisational safeguards to protect your personal information against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction:

  • Encrypted connections — all pages served over HTTPS with HSTS enforced.
  • Tokenised payments — card data handled entirely by Stripe; we never touch raw card numbers.
  • Access controls — staff access to customer data is role-based, logged, and reviewed regularly.
  • Regular audits — vulnerability scans and penetration tests conducted at least annually.
  • Incident response — in the event of a data breach, we will notify affected users within 72 hours in line with applicable law.

While we take every reasonable precaution, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. If you suspect any unauthorised access to your account, please contact us immediately at security@biotechpeptides.us.
