1. Introduction
Purity Base Lab ("Purity Base", "we", "us", "our") operates puritybaselab.com and supplies research-grade peptides and related laboratory compounds strictly for in-vitro and laboratory research purposes. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect when you visit our website, create an account, or place an order, how we use it, and the rights you have over it.
By using our website you confirm that you are at least 21 years old, a qualified researcher or licensed professional, and that you have read and accepted this Policy together with our Terms of Sale and Research Use Disclaimer.
2. Data Controller
The data controller responsible for your personal information is Purity Base Lab. For any privacy-related request you can contact us at privacy@puritybaselab.com.
3. Information We Collect
We collect the following categories of personal data:
- Identity data — full name, date of birth, professional affiliation or research institution (where applicable for KYC).
- Contact data — billing and shipping address, email, phone number.
- Order data — products purchased, order value, batch / COA references, shipment tracking.
- Payment data — handled directly by our PCI-DSS compliant payment processors (card networks, SEPA, crypto gateways). We never store full card numbers on our servers.
- Compliance data — proof of research status or professional license when required by law for controlled compounds (KYC documentation).
- Technical data — IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, referrer, cookie identifiers.
4. How We Use Your Data
We process your personal data to:
- Process and fulfil your orders, including cold-chain shipments.
- Verify the legitimacy of orders for research compounds (KYC / AML obligations).
- Issue invoices, COAs and respond to customer support requests.
- Detect and prevent fraud, chargebacks, diversion or misuse of research products.
- Send transactional emails (order confirmation, shipment, COA) and — with your consent — marketing updates about new compounds and lab news.
- Comply with legal, tax, customs and pharmaceutical-supply obligations.
- Improve our website, catalogue and security.
5. Legal Basis (GDPR)
- Contract — to process your order and deliver the products you purchased.
- Legal obligation — KYC, accounting, customs and traceability of research compounds.
- Legitimate interest — fraud prevention, security, and improving our services.
- Consent — marketing emails and non-essential cookies. You may withdraw consent at any time.
6. Sharing Your Data
We share personal data only with vetted third parties:
- Payment processors (cards, SEPA, crypto gateways).
- Shipping and cold-chain carriers (DHL, UPS, FedEx and customs brokers).
- Independent third-party laboratories that perform HPLC and mass-spec testing of every batch.
- Cloud hosting and email infrastructure providers.
- Legal, tax and regulatory authorities when we are legally required to disclose information.
We never sell your personal data. International transfers, when they occur, rely on Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.
7. Data Retention
We retain order, invoicing and KYC records for the period required by applicable accounting, tax and pharmaceutical-supply regulations (typically 7–10 years). Account and marketing data are kept for as long as your account remains active or until you withdraw consent. Technical logs are rotated within 12 months.
8. Cookies and Tracking
We use strictly necessary cookies to operate the cart, checkout and authentication, and — with your consent — analytics cookies to measure traffic and improve the catalogue. You can manage cookie preferences at any time through your browser or our cookie banner.
9. Security
Our infrastructure uses TLS encryption in transit, encryption at rest, role-based access control, and regular security reviews. Despite these measures, no system is 100% secure; we therefore encourage you to use a strong, unique password and enable any additional security feature offered.
10. Your Rights
Under the GDPR and similar laws you have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you.
- Request rectification of inaccurate data.
- Request erasure ("right to be forgotten"), subject to legal retention obligations.
- Restrict or object to certain processing.
- Data portability.
