Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy describes how AminoVita Research LLC collects, uses, and shares information when you visit aminovitaresearch.com or purchase Products from us. It applies only to AminoVita Research; AminoVita Wellness LLC publishes a separate policy.

1. Information We Collect

• Contact information — the name, email, and phone number you provide at checkout. AminoVita Research does not currently offer a user account on the research side; we collect this information solely to fulfill your order.
• Order information — billing and shipping address, payment method (handled by the payment processor; we do not store card numbers), order contents, and the research-use affirmation you supply at checkout (with timestamp).
• Session information — an anonymous session identifier we generate when you first affirm research-use intent on entry. This identifier ties your entry affirmation to your later checkout affirmation.
• Technical information — user-agent, referrer, and approximate location derived from IP. Used for fraud prevention and analytics.

2. How We Use It

• To fulfill your orders and ship Products to you.
• To record and substantiate the research-use affirmation tied to each purchase.
• To send order confirmations and shipping updates. Certificates of Analysis (COAs) are published on our website — we do not email or ship them.
• To prevent fraud, abuse, and misuse of research chemicals.
• To improve the site and product catalog.

3. How We Share It

We share information only with:

• Payment processors — currently Venmo (PayPal, Inc.) for Venmo-tender orders and a cryptocurrency payment processor for crypto-tender orders. The processor receives your name, email, order total, and any information required to route the payment. We do not store card numbers on our servers.
• Shipping carriers — currently USPS — receive your name and shipping address to deliver Products.
• Customer relationship platform — GoHighLevel (LeadConnector LLC) — stores your contact record and the timestamped research-use affirmation attached to your purchase.
• Hosting — Netlify (Netlify, Inc.) — serves the site and hosts the serverless functions that process orders.
• Analytics — Google Analytics 4 (Google LLC), loaded only after you grant consent via the cookie banner.
• Address autocomplete — Google Places (Google LLC) — when you type your shipping address on the checkout page, the characters you type are sent to Google so it can suggest matching real addresses. This applies only while you're entering an address.
• Authorities when required by law or to protect against misuse.

We do not sell or rent your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

4. Affirmation Records

The research-use affirmations you submit are retained as evidentiary records of your representations regarding the intended use of the Products. We retain them for the longer of (a) seven years or (b) the duration of any applicable statute of limitations.

5. Your Rights

If you are a California resident, you have the following rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). We extend these rights to residents of all U.S. states with comparable privacy laws.

• Right to Know: you may request that we disclose the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, the categories of sources, the business purpose for collecting, and the categories of third parties with whom we share.
• Right to Delete: you may request that we delete personal information we have collected from you, subject to legal exceptions (including records we are required to retain, such as timestamped research-use affirmations tied to completed orders — see Section 4).
• Right to Correct: you may request that we correct inaccurate personal information we maintain about you.
• Right to Opt Out of Sale or Sharing: we do not sell your personal information and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. You may confirm this preference at any time via the Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information control below or by sending a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal — we honor GPC as a valid opt-out.
• Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information: you may request that we limit our use of sensitive personal information to purposes necessary to provide the goods or services you request. We do not collect additional sensitive personal information beyond what is required to fulfill your order.
• Right to Non-Discrimination: we will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights. You will not receive different pricing, quality, or service levels for exercising your rights.

To exercise any of these rights, email research@aminovitawellness.com. We will verify your identity before processing your request and respond within 45 days as required by law.

You may opt out of marketing emails at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any marketing email we send you, or by emailing the address above. Transactional messages (order confirmations, shipping updates, and required regulatory notices) are not marketing and will continue after you opt out.

Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information

AminoVita Research does not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. To confirm or update your opt-out preference on this browser, use the cookie preferences control in the site footer, or send a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal — we honor GPC as a valid opt-out. Preferences are stored locally in this browser; if you use multiple browsers or devices, repeat on each.

6. Cookies & Similar Technologies

We categorize the technologies we use as follows:

• Strictly necessary — localStorage entries and cookies required for the site to function (cart contents, session identifier, research-use affirmation record, launch-gate acknowledgment). These load regardless of consent choice; without them the site does not work.
• Analytics — Google Analytics 4 first-party cookies used to measure aggregate site usage. Load only after you grant analytics consent via the cookie banner.
• Functional — preference storage (e.g. your consent choice itself, region preferences). Load only after you grant functional consent.
• Targeting / advertising — we do not currently load any targeting or advertising cookies on the research side. If we ever activate any, they will be gated on your explicit consent and named here before loading.

You can revoke or change consent at any time via the cookie preferences control in the site footer.

7. Changes

We may update this policy. The version effective at the time of your purchase governs that purchase.
