This Privacy Policy explains how The Peptide Almanac ("we," "us") handles information when you visit this website.
Information we collect
The Peptide Almanac is primarily a static informational website. We do not require you to create an account. We may collect:
- Usage data — aggregate analytics such as pages visited, referring site, browser type, and approximate region, used to understand and improve the site.
- Information you provide — for example, your name, email, and message if you use our contact form, or your email address if you subscribe to our updates newsletter.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-5DGXLRC74Y) to measure aggregate traffic — page views, referring sites, approximate region, device and browser type. We use this only to understand which guides are useful and to improve the site. We do not sell your data, and we do not use analytics data to identify you personally.
Google Analytics sets cookies in your browser and processes a truncated version of your IP address. You can opt out on any site by installing Google's Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, or by blocking cookies for this site in your browser settings — the site works normally either way. Google's own handling of this data is described in Google's Privacy Policy. Where required by law (for example in the EU/UK), we will request consent before setting non-essential analytics cookies.
Forms & email
Our contact and newsletter forms are processed by our hosting provider's form service (Netlify) to deliver your submission to us. We use your email only to respond to you or, for newsletter subscribers, to send occasional updates — you can unsubscribe at any time. We do not sell email addresses.
Cookies & advertising
Beyond the analytics cookies described above, we aim to keep cookie use to a minimum. This site may display advertising through Google AdSense and similar partners in the future. When advertising is active:
- Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
- You can opt out of personalized advertising at Google Ads Settings.
- You may also opt out of third-party vendor cookies at aboutads.info/choices.
Where required by law (for example, the EU/UK), we will request consent before setting non-essential cookies.
Your rights (GDPR / CCPA)
Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you, and to object to certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us at hello@thepeptidealmanac.com.
Data retention & security
We retain contact-form submissions only as long as needed to respond. We use reasonable measures to protect data but cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children
This site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data.
Changes
We may update this policy. Material changes will be reflected by the "last updated" date above.
