Privacy policy

1. Introduction

SubQ Scientist LLC, doing business as SQSpeptides (“we,” “us,” or “our”), supplies research-grade peptides and related laboratory materials to qualified professionals. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information when you visit our site, register a laboratory or institutional account, request documentation, or place a research order.

2. Information we collect

• Account and contact data: name, institutional or laboratory affiliation (where provided), professional email address, shipping address for laboratory delivery, billing details, and account credentials.
• Order and research-use records: products ordered, quantities, order history, attestation selections, and requests for Certificates of Analysis (COA) or batch documentation.
• Payment references: transaction confirmations and amounts. Full payment card numbers are processed by third-party providers and are not stored on our servers.
• Technical data: IP address, browser type, device identifiers, pages viewed, and approximate location derived from IP for fraud prevention, security, and site analytics.
• Communications: correspondence with support@sqspeptides.com, wholesale inquiries, and documentation requests submitted through our contact forms.

3. How we use information

We use personal and institutional information to:

• Process, fulfill, and support research material orders;
• Verify purchaser eligibility and maintain compliance with our research-use standards;
• Provide order confirmations, shipping updates, and COA or batch documentation when available;
• Authenticate accounts, prevent fraud, and protect the integrity of our catalog;
• Improve our website, product information, and professional support services;
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms and policies.

4. Payments

Card payments and optional digital-asset checkout flows may be processed by third-party providers such as Crossmint, cryptocurrency payment partners, and other authorized processors. Those providers collect and process data under their own terms and privacy policies. We receive limited transaction data (for example, confirmation status, amounts, and risk signals) as needed to complete your purchase and maintain order records.

5. Sharing of information

We may share information with:

• Payment processors, fraud-screening vendors, and shipping carriers fulfilling laboratory deliveries;
• Professional advisers (legal, accounting) when required for business operations;
• Regulatory or law-enforcement authorities when required by law, subpoena, or to protect rights and safety.

We do not sell your personal information for monetary consideration.

6. Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and similar tools for essential site operation, session management, preferences, analytics, and security. You may control cookies through your browser settings; disabling certain cookies may limit site functionality, including checkout and account access.

7. Data retention

We retain information as long as needed to fulfill the purposes described above, support order history and documentation requests, comply with law, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Order, tax, and compliance records may be retained for extended periods as required by applicable regulation.

8. Security

We apply reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect personal information. No method of transmission over the Internet is completely secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict certain processing of your personal information, or to object to processing. To exercise these rights, contact us at support@sqspeptides.com. We may verify your request as permitted by law.

10. Professional purchasers only

Our services are directed to qualified adults (21+) engaged in lawful laboratory research or authorized procurement on behalf of a research organization. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals who do not meet our eligibility standards. If you believe information was collected in error, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to review and delete it where required.

11. International visitors

If you access our site from outside the United States, your information may be processed in the United States, where privacy laws may differ from those in your country. You are responsible for ensuring that your purchase and use of research materials complies with local import and research regulations.

12. Changes
