Privacy Policy

Our submission form is designed to collect the minimum information necessary to support the archive's mission: broad demographic categories, information about peptide use, and a free-text description of your experience. We do not ask for your name, email address, phone number, street address, username, or wallet address, and the form has no field for any of them.

We do not store your exact IP address alongside your submission. Security and rate- limiting systems may briefly process a hashed, salted version of your IP address to prevent abuse; this is never linked to your submission content, is retained only briefly, and access to it is restricted.

• Data is encrypted in transit and at rest.
• Administrative accounts require multi-factor authentication.
• Access to submissions is restricted by role — most staff only see de-identified or aggregated data.
• All administrative actions are logged in an audit trail.
• We do not publicly expose raw database records.

If approved, your observation may be published anonymously in the Observational Archive and reflected in aggregated dashboard statistics. Direct quotation only happens if you opt in during submission. Before publication, we remove personal identifiers, supplier information, purchasing information, promotional language, and direct medical instructions, while preserving the meaning of what you shared.

You'll receive a one-time withdrawal code after submitting. Using it removes your observation from public view and from future dashboard totals. Because submissions are anonymous, we have no way to verify or recover a lost code, and no way to identify or withdraw a submission without one.

We retain submissions, including withdrawn ones, for audit-integrity purposes, but withdrawn submissions are excluded from public display and aggregate statistics. Security logs are retained for a limited period and are not linked to submission content. A detailed retention schedule will be published here following legal review.

We do not use submissions to target you or anyone else with medical or product advertising. We do not sell data. We do not accept funding from peptide manufacturers, distributors, or sellers.

Aggregated, de-identified data may be shared with external researchers through a documented request-and-review process. Raw, individual submissions are never shared externally.
