Privacy Policy

Policy Updates

We periodically review and update this Privacy Policy to reflect operational, regulatory, or compliance adjustments related to our research-manufacturing and distribution processes. All updates will be posted to this Site with a revised effective date.

Information Collected

To operate our research partner network and maintain secure institutional access, Belmar Labs LLC collects limited business contact and operational information.

Collected data may include:

• Organization or business name
• Professional contact details (email, phone number, address)
• Verification credentials (account ID, tax or license documentation, and institutional affiliation)
• Order and logistical details necessary for research material shipment
• Support communications or compliance-related correspondence

Information Source and Use

We collect and process this information to:

• Verify research account eligibility and maintain secure access to restricted products
• Comply with applicable recordkeeping and quality system requirements

• Ensure proper traceability for materials classified as "Research Use Only (RUO)"
• Support logistics and technical support processes consistent with institutional contracts

Cookies and Technical Tracking

The Site uses cookies and similar technologies for functionality and authentication, for analytics, and for advertising and measurement. We use third-party advertising and analytics services, including Google Ads and the Meta (Facebook) Pixel, which may set cookies and collect identifiers to measure campaigns and deliver relevant advertising, including retargeting. Where required by law, non-essential cookies are set only with your consent, and you can manage preferences as described in our Cookie Policy. You may opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for targeted advertising via our Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information page.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

We may share necessary business or transactional data with service providers who perform operational or compliance functions on our behalf (e.g., logistics providers, payment processors, 3rd party ISO accredited testing facilities). These entities are contractually bound to handle information in accordance with this Policy and applicable law.

Legal and Compliance Obligations

Belmar Labs LLC retains institutional data solely for the duration required by applicable regulatory or quality management standards. Data may be disclosed if required to comply with lawful requests by public authorities or to enforce internal compliance policies.

Marketing and Communications

Belmar Labs LLC may send transactional communications (account verification, order processing, compliance updates) and, where you have opted in, marketing communications. We also run online advertising campaigns through third-party platforms, including Google Ads and Meta (Facebook), and use their pixels and tags to measure and target those campaigns. You may opt out of targeted advertising via our Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information page, and you may unsubscribe from marketing email at any time.

Data Protection and Retention

Belmar Labs LLC implements administrative, physical, and technical safeguards consistent with ISO and GMP-aligned security protocols. Data retention is limited to operational and compliance purposes necessary for audit traceability or regulatory adherence.

How We Disclose Personal Information

We disclose limited business contact and operational data to third parties only where necessary to support research-focused operations, regulatory compliance, secure account access, logistics, or quality management, as described below:

• With service providers performing operational or compliance functions on our behalf (e.g., secure hosting/IT, payment processing, restricted-access account management, 3rd party ISO accredited testing logistics, documentation, fulfillment, and research shipment coordination).
• With advertising and analytics partners — including Google Ads and the Meta (Facebook) Pixel — that help us measure and deliver targeted advertising. Under certain state privacy laws this activity may be considered a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information; you may opt out via our Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information page.
• When you direct us to share information for verified institutional purposes (e.g., coordinating delivery to a qualified research facility) or when required to enable secure account authentication integrations consistent with institutional use.
• Within our corporate group where necessary to operate secure, RUO-only manufacturing and distribution workflows, subject to this Policy.
• In connection with lawful requests, corporate transactions, or enforcement of our agreements, and to protect the integrity and security of our systems and partners.

"Sale" or "Sharing" of Personal Information

We use third-party advertising and analytics services, including Google Ads and the Meta (Facebook) Pixel, which may set cookies and receive identifiers to deliver and measure targeted advertising. Under the CCPA/CPRA and similar state laws, this activity may be considered a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. We do not sell or share personal information in exchange for money, and we do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of individuals under 16 years of age. You may opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information for targeted advertising at any time via our Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information page or by enabling a recognized opt-out preference signal (e.g., Global Privacy Control) in your browser.
