3. Public Testing Information

Transparency and public access to independent testing information are core features of Peptide Test Fund.

• Vendor or manufacturer

We will not intentionally publish a participant’s private contact information as part of a public Registry record.

4. Account Sign-In

Certain features of Peptide Test Fund may require users to create or access an account.

We may offer authentication through third-party providers such as Google, Apple, Facebook, or email-based authentication.

If you choose a third-party sign-in provider, that provider may send us information necessary to authenticate your account, such as your name, email address, or account identifier.

Your use of a third-party authentication provider is also subject to that provider’s own privacy practices and policies.

5. Payments

Payments and contributions may be processed by third-party payment providers.

These providers may collect payment card information, billing information, transaction details, and other information necessary to process payments, prevent fraud, and comply with financial regulations.

Peptide Test Fund does not intend to store complete payment-card numbers on its own systems.

6. Cookies & Similar Technologies

Peptide Test Fund may use cookies and similar technologies to support functions such as:

• Maintaining website and account functionality
• Remembering user preferences
• Security and fraud prevention
• Understanding website usage
• Measuring website performance

As our technology and platform develop, we may update this Privacy Policy and any cookie or consent tools to reflect the technologies actually in use.

7. Service Providers

We may share information with companies that perform services on our behalf, including providers of:

• Website hosting and infrastructure
• Database and file storage
• Authentication
• Payment processing
• Email delivery
• Website analytics
• Security services
• Customer support
• Laboratory testing
• Shipping and sample logistics

These providers may receive information as reasonably necessary to perform services for Peptide Test Fund.

8. Laboratories

Information necessary to perform a testing project may be provided to the independent laboratory selected for that project.

This may include sample identifiers, compound information, requested tests, project information, shipment details, photographs, or other information needed for the laboratory to perform and document testing.

Independent laboratories maintain their own privacy, security, and data-handling practices.

9. Sale or Sharing of Personal Information

Peptide Test Fund does not currently sell personal information for money.

If we introduce advertising, analytics, or other technologies that constitute a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information under applicable privacy law, we will update our disclosures and provide any legally required privacy choices or opt-out mechanisms.

10. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to:

• Provide and operate our services
• Maintain testing and Registry records
• Complete transactions
• Resolve disputes
• Prevent fraud or misuse
• Meet legal, accounting, security, or regulatory requirements

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the reason it was collected.

Public testing and Registry records may be retained for longer periods because maintaining a historical record of independent testing is part of the purpose of the Peptide Test Fund platform.

11. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information.

However, no method of internet transmission, electronic storage, or information system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee absolute security.

12. Your Privacy Choices

Depending on where you live and which privacy laws apply, you may have rights regarding your personal information.

These may include the right to request:

• Access to personal information we maintain about you
• Correction of inaccurate information
• Deletion of certain personal information
• Information about how personal information is used or disclosed
• Opt-out of certain types of data sharing where applicable

Where legally required, we will also recognize applicable browser-based privacy preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control.

To submit a privacy request, email privacy@peptidetestfund.com.

We may need to verify your identity before completing certain privacy requests.

13. Age Requirements

Peptide Test Fund is intended for adults age 18 and older.

We do not knowingly permit individuals under 18 to create accounts, participate in testing projects, submit samples, make contributions, or otherwise use portions of the Services that require registration or payment.

If we learn that we have collected personal information from an individual under 18 through an account or other restricted service, we will take reasonable steps to review the situation and, where appropriate, delete the information and close the associated account.

14. Third-Party Links

Our website and platform may contain links to laboratories, vendors, informational resources, payment providers, shipping services, or other third-party websites and services.

Peptide Test Fund does not control and is not responsible for the privacy practices of third parties.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of third-party services before providing personal information to them.
