Privacy commitment: Aegis Peptide Analytics does not sell, rent, or share your personal data for commercial purposes. Your identity is never associated with publicly-viewable COA records.
Aegis Peptide Analytics LLC ("Aegis," "we," "us," or "our") operates aegispeptideanalytics.com and provides third-party analytical testing services. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information when you visit our website, submit a sample for testing, or otherwise interact with our services.
By using our website or services, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use immediately and contact us with any questions.
We collect the following categories of information:
Contact and Account Information: Name, email address, company name (optional), and phone number when you submit a contact form, create an account, or place a testing order.
Sample Submission Data: Sample identification codes, compound descriptions provided by you, lot numbers, and any notes included with your submission. We do not require you to disclose the source of your compound.
Payment Information: Billing address and transaction data. Payment card details are processed exclusively by our third-party payment processor (Stripe) and are never stored on our servers.
Testing Results: Analytical data generated by our laboratory from your submitted sample, including purity percentages, identity confirmation results, and associated metadata.
Usage Data: IP address, browser type, pages visited, time spent on pages, and referral source. This data is collected automatically via standard server logs and analytics tools.
Communications: Records of email correspondence, support tickets, and any written communications between you and our laboratory.
We use the information collected for the following purposes:
- **Service Delivery:** To process sample submissions, conduct testing, issue Certificates of Analysis (COAs), and communicate results to you. - **Public COA Records:** Certificate data (compound name, lot number, purity, identity, methods, and COA number) is published to our public verification database by default. Client identity, name, company, and contact information are never included in public records. You may request a private COA at time of order. - **Account Management:** To create and maintain your client portal account, track submission status, and provide order history. - **Communications:** To respond to inquiries, send order confirmations, deliver results, and send service-related notifications. - **Legal Compliance:** To comply with applicable laws, regulations, and lawful requests from governmental authorities. - **Site Improvement:** Aggregated and anonymized usage data helps us improve the website and our service quality.
We do not use your information for advertising, behavioral profiling, or sale to third parties.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share information only in the following limited circumstances:
Payment Processor: Stripe, Inc. processes all payment transactions. We share billing information with Stripe solely to complete your purchase. Stripe's privacy practices are governed by their own privacy policy.
Laboratory Operations: If a portion of testing is conducted by a contracted reference laboratory, sample data (compound code, test parameters) may be shared under a confidentiality agreement. Client identity is never disclosed.
Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or governmental authority, or if we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Aegis, our clients, or the public.
Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you of any such change.
We will never disclose your identity, sample details, or test results to any peptide supplier, manufacturer, broker, or third party for commercial purposes.
COA Records: Certificate of Analysis data is retained permanently as part of our public verification infrastructure. COA records are write-once and cannot be deleted by design — this immutability is a core feature of our authentication system. The COA number and result data remain publicly accessible indefinitely.
Personal Information: Contact information, account data, and order history are retained for five (5) years following your last interaction with our services, after which they are securely deleted from operational systems.
Payment Records: Transaction records required for accounting and legal compliance are retained for seven (7) years per standard financial record-keeping requirements.
Communications: Email and support correspondence is retained for three (3) years.
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights regarding your personal information:
Access: Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
Correction: Request correction of inaccurate personal information.
Deletion: Request deletion of personal information that is not part of a permanent COA record. Note that COA analytical data cannot be deleted due to our immutable record architecture; however, your personal identity can be decoupled from the record upon request.
Portability: Request your personal data in a structured, machine-readable format.
Objection: Object to certain processing of your data, including marketing communications.
Withdrawal of Consent: Where processing is based on consent, withdraw consent at any time.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@aegispeptideanalytics.com. We will respond within 30 days. We may require identity verification before fulfilling certain requests.
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These include encrypted connections (TLS/SSL), restricted access controls, and regular security reviews.
No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. In the event of a data breach that affects your personal information, we will notify you as required by applicable law.
Our services are intended for adult researchers, suppliers, and professionals. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under 18 years of age. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal information, contact us at privacy@aegispeptideanalytics.com and we will promptly delete it.
