Research Chemical Notice: We supply research chemicals to qualified institutions only. Not for human or veterinary use. Institutional vetting is required. No public retail checkout.

What personal data we collect and why

Institutional verification (B2B)

For compliance and safety, we collect limited data to verify institutional buyers and qualified personnel:

Institution details: legal name, tax/VAT/ЄДРПОУ (where applicable), business address, country.
Work contact details: institutional email and work phone of the authorized requester.
Professional credentials: department/lab affiliation, role, supervisor contact (if applicable).
Compliance documentation: permits or licenses required by jurisdiction (if applicable).
Research context (high level): brief, non-sensitive description to confirm research-only use.

When you visit our site

Technical data: IP address, browser type, device info — for security, fraud prevention, and regional compliance checks.
Cookies: strictly necessary cookies (session/security) and functional cookies (e.g., remember form progress). We do not run a public retail cart; any “quote” draft data may be stored temporarily to process your institutional request.
Location signals: used to estimate delivery restrictions (hazmat/logistics) and jurisdictional compliance.

If you request a quote or place a B2B order

Because we operate B2B only (no consumer checkout), we may collect the following to prepare pro-forma invoices or supply agreements:

Institution legal name and billing details
Shipping location (must be an appropriate research facility)
Authorized contact (name, work email, work phone)
Product lines/technical specs (non-sensitive)
Compliance documents (if required by law)

How we use the data

To verify institutional eligibility and qualified personnel (compliance & safety)
To prepare quotes, contracts, and shipping documents
To comply with legal obligations (tax, accounting, customs, hazardous materials transport, record-keeping)
To prevent fraud and protect site security
To communicate about your institutional requests and orders
To improve our research-only offerings

We do not use your data for profiling unrelated to research chemical supply. We do not sell personal data.

Research compliance & record keeping

Verification records: evidence of institutional status and authorized personnel.
Transaction records: quotes, invoices, product specifications (non-sensitive), and shipping documentation.
Safety references: links to SDS/MSDS and handling guidance; access logs may be kept for audit.

Data retention

We retain data only as long as necessary for the purposes above or as required by law:

Institutional/transaction records: generally 7 years (tax, accounting, compliance).
Verification documents: up to 5 years or as required by applicable regulations.
Technical logs: security and access logs retained for a limited period consistent with security best practices.

Comments & media

If comments are enabled, we collect the data shown in the form, plus IP and user agent for anti-spam. Comments must not disclose sensitive research details. Avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF). Do not upload images of chemicals in use or lab setups.

Cookies

Required: session/security cookies to operate the site and protect against fraud.
Functional: remember non-sensitive form inputs (e.g., quote request progress).
Analytics (if enabled): we use aggregated metrics to improve site reliability; you can opt out where legally required.

Embedded content

Embedded content from other websites behaves as if you visited those sites and may set their own cookies and trackers. Review their privacy policies.

Team access

Access to personal data is restricted to trained personnel who need it to verify institutions, prepare quotes, fulfill shipments, handle compliance, or support you. All staff follow confidentiality and research chemical protocols.

Specialized carriers and logistics partners (including hazmat where applicable)
Customs and regulatory authorities (for cross-border shipments)

We do not share research project data or proprietary information beyond what is strictly required for compliance and logistics.
