Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 7, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how ThePeptideRadar ("we", "our", "the site") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit thepeptideradar.com.

1. Information we collect

We collect a limited amount of information, only what is needed to operate the site:

• Analytics data — anonymised page views, referral source, approximate location, device and browser type, collected via Google Analytics 4 with IP anonymisation enabled.
• Approximate country — detected via the third-party service ipapi.co to default-filter the supplier directory to your region. No IP is stored on our servers.
• Contact form submissions — when you use our contact, supplier-suggestion, or signup forms, your name, email, message, and any details you provide are sent through Formspree to our inbox.
• Cookies / local storage — used to remember your cookie consent choice and country filter preference.

We do not collect payment information, accounts, passwords, or sensitive personal data.

2. How we use your information

• To operate and improve the directory and supplier guides.
• To understand which content is useful, in aggregate (analytics).
• To respond to messages you send us through the contact, supplier-suggestion, or signup forms.
• To filter the directory to your region by default.

We do not sell your data, share it with advertisers, or use it for ad personalisation.

3. Cookies and consent

We use Google Consent Mode v2. Analytics cookies are denied by default until you actively grant consent. Advertising cookies are denied site-wide and are not used. You can change your consent at any time by clearing your browser's site data for thepeptideradar.com.

5. Data retention

6. Your rights

You can ask us at any time to:

• Confirm what information about you we hold.
• Delete any messages or data you've sent us.
