Privacy
Effective Date: July 27, 2026
Last Revised: July 27, 2026
AP Research LLC, doing business as American Peptide Research (“APR,” “we,” “us” or “our”), respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain and protect personal information when you visit americanpeptideresearch.net, create an account, place an order, contact us, join a program or otherwise interact with services we control (collectively, the “Site”).
This Policy does not apply to independent third-party websites or services. By using the Site, you acknowledge the practices described here. Where consent is legally required, we will request it separately.
1. Information We Collect
Identifiers and contact information. Name, username, email address, telephone number, billing address, shipping address, account identifiers and similar contact details.
Order and commercial information. Products viewed or ordered, cart activity, order history, transaction amount, discounts, rewards, affiliate or referral data, shipping status, returns, claims and customer-service history.
Payment information. Payment method, billing status, transaction identifier, payment risk signals and limited payment metadata. Full payment-card or financial-account credentials are generally collected and processed by payment providers rather than stored by APR.
Research qualification and compliance information. Age confirmation, research affiliation or entity information, stated research purpose, checkout acknowledgments, policy version, timestamp, IP address and information reasonably needed to assess fraud, diversion, sanctions, misuse or purchaser qualification.
Identity-verification information. For selected or higher-risk transactions, APR or a verification provider may request a government-issued identification document, selfie, proof of address or related verification information. APR uses this information for identity, fraud and compliance purposes, not to infer health or other unrelated characteristics.
Device, network and usage information. IP address, browser, operating system, device type, device identifiers, approximate location derived from IP, referring pages, pages viewed, links clicked, session activity, traffic source, cookie identifiers and diagnostic logs.
Communications and content. Messages, support requests, reviews, survey responses, photographs submitted for order claims and other content you provide.
Marketing and preference information. Email or SMS subscription status, consent records, opt-outs, communication preferences, campaign interactions and cookie choices.
Inferences and risk signals. Fraud scores, likely traffic source, site preferences or other inferences generated from the information above for security, compliance, analytics or advertising.
2. Sources of Information
We collect information directly from you; automatically from your browser or device; from payment processors, carriers, fraud-prevention and verification providers; from analytics, advertising, affiliate and marketing partners; and from public or lawful sources used to verify business or research information.
3. How We Use Information
We use personal information to operate the Site and accounts; process, review, accept, fulfill and support orders; verify identity, age, qualification and payment; provide shipping and delivery updates; administer rewards, referrals and affiliate attribution; communicate about transactions, policies, security and customer service; detect and prevent fraud, chargebacks, diversion, prohibited use and security incidents; comply with law and enforce our Terms; maintain records, accounting and taxes; improve products, Site performance and user experience; measure traffic and campaigns; personalize or deliver advertising where permitted; and send marketing communications with the required choice or consent.
We may combine information from different sources for these purposes. We do not use government-issued ID information to infer health, medical, racial, ethnic, religious, sexual or other unrelated sensitive characteristics.
4. How We Disclose Information
Service providers and contractors. We disclose information to companies that provide website hosting, WordPress/WooCommerce functions, cloud storage, cybersecurity, customer support, email and SMS delivery, payment processing, accounting, identity verification, fraud prevention, analytics and other services for APR.
Payment and financial partners. Payment information and transaction metadata may be disclosed to payment processors, financial institutions, payment networks and fraud services to authorize, settle, investigate and dispute transactions.
Fulfillment and logistics partners. Name, address, contact information, order details and tracking information may be disclosed to warehouses, fulfillment providers, carriers, customs intermediaries and delivery partners.
Analytics and advertising partners. Device identifiers, cookie identifiers, IP address, usage and campaign information may be disclosed to or collected by providers such as Google and Meta for analytics, measurement, audience development and advertising, depending on your settings and applicable law.
Affiliates, referral partners and program administrators. We may disclose limited transaction or attribution information necessary to administer a referral, affiliate, rewards or promotional program.
Professional advisors and authorities. We may disclose information to attorneys, accountants, insurers, auditors, regulators, courts, law enforcement and government authorities when reasonably necessary to protect rights, enforce policies, investigate misuse or comply with law.
Business transactions. Information may be disclosed in connection with financing, due diligence, merger, acquisition, reorganization, bankruptcy or sale of assets, subject to appropriate protections.
At your direction. We disclose information when you ask us to or provide consent.
5. Cookies, Analytics, Advertising and Affiliate Tracking
APR uses cookies, pixels, local storage and similar technologies. Essential technologies support security, cart, checkout, login, cookie preferences and Site operation. Analytics technologies, including Google Analytics and related tools, help measure Site traffic and performance. Advertising technologies, including Meta/Facebook Pixel and Google advertising tools when enabled, help measure campaigns and deliver or evaluate advertising. Affiliate and WooCommerce attribution technologies identify referral sources and campaign activity.
The Site’s cookie preference center provides information about active categories and cookies. Except for essential technologies, you can reject or adjust optional cookies through that tool. You can also use browser settings, but blocking essential cookies may prevent Site functions from working.
Some browsers transmit Do Not Track signals, for which there is no uniform industry response. Where required by law, APR treats a recognized opt-out preference signal such as Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) as a request to opt out of sale, sharing or targeted advertising for the browser or device that sends the signal.
6. Sale, Sharing and Targeted Advertising
APR does not sell personal information for money. However, when advertising or analytics technologies disclose identifiers or Internet activity to advertising partners for cross-context behavioral advertising, some state privacy laws may define that activity as “sale,” “sharing” or “targeted advertising.”
You may opt out through the Site’s cookie preference center or a recognized GPC signal. If APR provides a footer link labeled “Your Privacy Choices,” that link may also be used. Opting out does not stop contextual advertising, essential cookies or disclosures to processors that use information only to provide services to APR.
APR does not knowingly sell or share personal information of anyone under 16. The Site is not intended for anyone under 21.
7. Email, SMS and Transactional Communications
APR may send transactional or relationship communications concerning an order, account, security issue, policy update, customer-service request or similar matter. These communications are not promotional consent.
Promotional email. You may unsubscribe through the link in a marketing email or contact APR. We may retain a suppression record to honor the request.
Promotional text messages. If APR offers an SMS program, participation is voluntary and is not a condition of purchase. Message frequency varies and message and data rates may apply. Consent may include use of automated technology where disclosed. Reply STOP to opt out and HELP for assistance or contact APR. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. APR will honor revocation requests as required by law.
Do not use a Terms, checkout or research-use checkbox as marketing consent. Marketing consent must be presented separately and remain optional.
8. Retention
APR retains personal information only for the period reasonably necessary for the disclosed purpose, legal obligations, accounting, security, dispute resolution and enforcement. The following schedule describes APR’s intended general periods and may be extended when a legal hold, investigation, dispute or law requires.
Account, order, payment metadata, tax and fulfillment records: while the account is active and generally up to seven (7) years after the transaction or account closure.
Customer-service communications, reviews and ordinary claim materials: generally up to three (3) years after resolution, unless associated with a longer-lived order, legal or security record.
Government-issued ID images or similar verification documents: normally deleted or irreversibly redacted within ninety (90) days after verification unless a fraud, payment, legal or compliance need requires longer retention. Verification results and material fraud or compliance records may be retained up to five (5) years.
Security, device and server logs: generally up to twenty-four (24) months unless needed for an investigation. Cookie lifetimes vary by purpose and are shown in the cookie preference center, with many optional cookies lasting from a session to two (2) years.
Marketing information: until you unsubscribe or the information is no longer needed. A minimal suppression record may be retained to honor an opt-out.
Affiliate, referral and rewards records: for the program relationship and generally up to seven (7) years for accounting, dispute and fraud purposes.
9. Security
APR uses reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information, including access controls, encryption in transit where appropriate, provider due diligence and security monitoring. No online service or storage system is completely secure and APR cannot guarantee absolute security.
You are responsible for using a strong unique password, protecting account credentials and notifying APR promptly of suspected unauthorized access.
10. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your state of residence and applicable law, you may have the right to: confirm whether APR processes your personal information; access or obtain a copy; correct inaccuracies; delete information; obtain portable data; opt out of sale, sharing or targeted advertising; opt out of certain profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects; limit certain uses of sensitive personal information; withdraw consent; appeal a denied request; and receive equal service without unlawful discrimination for exercising a right.
Submit a request through https://www.americanpeptideresearch.net/contact/, by telephone at 305-833-7777 or by mail to AP Research LLC, Attn: Privacy Request, 77 Engle St, Englewood, NJ 07631. Identify the right you wish to exercise and provide enough information to locate and verify the relevant record. Do not send sensitive identification unless APR specifically requests it through an approved method.
APR may verify a request by matching account, order, contact or transaction information and may request additional information when reasonably necessary. APR will use requested verification information only for verification, fraud prevention and legal compliance.
An authorized agent may submit a request where permitted by law. APR may require proof of authorization and direct confirmation from the consumer, unless the agent has a valid power of attorney.
APR will respond within the time required by applicable law. For laws using a 45-day response period, APR may take a permitted extension with notice. If APR denies a request, you may appeal by submitting “Privacy Appeal” through the same contact method within forty-five (45) days after the denial and explaining why the decision should be reconsidered.
Some information may be exempt, including information required to complete a transaction, detect security incidents, prevent fraud, comply with law, exercise legal rights or maintain a required record. APR may deny a request that cannot be verified or is manifestly unfounded, excessive or repetitive as permitted by law.
11. State Privacy Disclosures
In the preceding twelve (12) months, APR may have collected the categories described in Section 1 from the sources in Section 2; used them for the purposes in Section 3; and disclosed them to the recipient categories in Section 4.
Categories potentially disclosed for targeted advertising or considered sold/shared under certain state laws: online identifiers, IP address, cookie identifiers and Internet or other electronic-network activity. Recipient categories may include analytics and advertising networks such as Google and Meta. Purpose: campaign measurement, audience development and targeted advertising. You may opt out as described in Section 6.
Categories disclosed for business purposes: identifiers and contact information; customer records; commercial and transaction information; Internet and device activity; professional or research information; verification information; communications; and inferences or risk signals. Recipient categories include service providers, payment and financial partners, fulfillment and logistics partners, verification and fraud providers, advisors and authorities.
Sensitive personal information may include account credentials, limited financial information, government-issued ID information and precise information provided for verification. APR uses sensitive information only as reasonably necessary to provide requested goods and services, verify identity, process payments, protect security, prevent fraud and comply with law. APR does not use sensitive information to infer unrelated personal characteristics.
APR does not have actual knowledge that it sells or shares personal information of consumers under sixteen (16). APR does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under twenty-one (21) through the Site.
12. Loyalty, Rewards, Referral and Promotional Programs
APR may offer discounts, points, store credit, referrals, giveaways or other benefits. Participation is voluntary. The program may require identifiers, contact information, account activity, purchases or referral attribution. APR reasonably relates the value of a benefit to the expected value of program participation, customer relationship, purchases, engagement, administration and fraud prevention rather than assigning an independent market value to personal information.
You may withdraw from a program by contacting APR. Withdrawal or deletion of necessary program information may end eligibility and may result in loss of unredeemed points or benefits as permitted by the program rules and law. Material terms will be disclosed when a program is offered. If a program constitutes a financial incentive under applicable law, APR will provide any additional required notice before enrollment.
13. Children and Age Restriction
The Site is intended only for qualified persons age 21 or older. APR does not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a minor has provided information, contact APR so the information can be investigated and deleted as appropriate.
14. International Users
APR is based in the United States. If you access the Site from another country, personal information may be processed and stored in the United States and other countries where providers operate. Those countries may have different privacy laws. Where required, APR or its providers use appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers.
15. Third-Party Sites and Social Platforms
The Site may link to third-party websites, social platforms, payment services or communities. APR does not control their privacy practices. Review their policies before providing information. Interacting with a social-media button, embedded content or external community may allow the third party to collect information under its own policy.
16. Changes to This Privacy Policy
APR may update this Policy to reflect changes in law, technology or practices. The Last Revised date identifies the current version. APR will provide reasonable notice of material changes, such as a Site banner, checkout notice or email when appropriate. APR will request consent when a new use legally requires it.
