Privacy Policy

1. Overview

This Privacy Policy describes how cmpd.health ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and safeguards information obtained from visitors and qualified researchers who access our website at cmpd.health (the "Site"). We operate as a research compound supplier providing products exclusively for research use only (RUO) contexts.

By using the Site, you acknowledge and agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Browsing and Technical Data

When you visit the Site, our servers and infrastructure providers may automatically collect standard technical information, including:

• IP address and general geographic region (country/region level)
• Browser type, version, and operating system
• Pages visited, time spent, and navigation path
• Referring URL and exit pages
• Device type and screen resolution

This information is used for operating the Site securely and diagnosing technical issues. We do not link this data to individual identities.

2.2 Age Gate and Research Acknowledgment

The Site presents an access confirmation gate that requires you to acknowledge you are 18 years of age or older and are accessing the Site for legitimate research purposes. Your confirmation is stored locally in your browser (localStorage) and is not transmitted to our servers. We do not retain or log this acknowledgment server-side.

2.3 Contact and Inquiry Submissions

If you contact us via any inquiry or contact form on the Site, we collect the information you voluntarily provide — typically your name, email address, and the content of your message. This information is used solely to respond to your inquiry.

2.4 Future Order and Transaction Data

When we implement checkout and order processing (via our forthcoming payment integration), we will collect billing name, shipping address, email address, and payment method details. Payment card data will be processed and stored by our payment processor; we will not store raw card numbers on our servers. This Policy will be updated prior to checkout going live with full details of data handling for transactions.

3. Cookies and Analytics

We use session cookies necessary for the operation of the Site (such as maintaining your access confirmation state). We do not currently operate third-party behavioral tracking or advertising cookies.

We may use first-party analytics software to measure aggregate traffic and page performance. Any analytics we employ will be privacy-preserving and will not identify individual users. We will update this section if we add or change analytics tooling.

You may configure your browser to refuse cookies; doing so will not impair your ability to browse the Site's public content.

4. How We Use Information

We use information collected on the Site for the following purposes:

• To operate, maintain, and improve the Site
• To respond to inquiries and provide researcher support
• To process and fulfill orders and manage transactions (when enabled)
• To comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service
• To detect and prevent fraud, abuse, or security incidents
• To send transactional communications related to orders or account status

We do not use your information for behavioral advertising, profiling, or any purpose unrelated to the legitimate operation of cmpd.health.

5. Sharing of Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes.

We may share information in limited circumstances:

• Service providers: We work with trusted infrastructure, payment processing, and hosting providers who process data on our behalf under confidentiality obligations.
• Legal compliance: We may disclose information when required by applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request.
• Protection of rights: We may disclose information to investigate, prevent, or respond to fraud, illegal activity, or potential violations of our Terms of Service.
• Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, user information may be transferred as part of that transaction with advance notice to affected users.

6. Data Security

We implement industry-standard technical and organizational measures to protect information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include encrypted transport (TLS), access controls, and secure infrastructure hosted within the United States.

No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. While we take reasonable precautions, we cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted to or stored on our Site.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have certain rights with respect to your personal data. These may include:

• Access: The right to request a copy of personal information we hold about you.
• Correction: The right to request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Deletion: The right to request deletion of your personal information, subject to legal retention requirements.
• Opt-out of sale: We do not sell personal data; no opt-out is required, but we honor requests for confirmation.
• Non-discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the address listed in Section 9. We will respond within 30 days (or as required by applicable law).

8. Data Retention

We retain information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, to comply with legal and regulatory obligations, and to resolve disputes. Inquiry and contact form data is retained for a reasonable period to track and resolve requests. Order records will be retained as required by applicable financial and tax regulations.
