Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

Clinical Peptide is a static research reference website. We do not require account creation, and we do not request, collect, or store any personally identifiable information directly from visitors.

Limited non-identifying information is automatically collected through standard web server logs and third-party analytics tools, as described below.

2. Server Logs

Our web server (Nginx) automatically records standard request data including:

• IP address (truncated for privacy where feasible)
• Browser type and version (User-Agent string)
• Pages requested and HTTP response codes
• Timestamp of each request
• Referring URL (if any)

These logs are used solely for security monitoring, abuse prevention, and operational troubleshooting. Logs are retained for a maximum of 30 days and are not shared with third parties except where required by law.

3. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID: G-FJDKY8PZQM) to understand aggregate traffic patterns. Google Analytics sets cookies on your browser to track repeat visits and session behavior. The data collected by Google Analytics may include:

• Anonymized IP address
• Browser, operating system, and device information
• Pages visited, time on page, and navigation paths
• Approximate geographic location (city or region level)
• Referral source (search engines, links, direct visits)

Google Analytics data is governed by Google's own privacy policies. You can review Google's data practices at policies.google.com/privacy, and you may opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the official opt-out browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

4. Advertising

This website may display advertisements served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site and other sites on the internet. Personalized advertising can be disabled at google.com/settings/ads.

For more information about how Google uses cookies in advertising, see policies.google.com/technologies/ads.

5. Cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes:

• Analytics cookies — set by Google Analytics to count visitors and analyze site usage
• Advertising cookies — set by Google AdSense and its partners to deliver and measure advertisements (when active)

You can configure your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you disable cookies, some features of the site may continue to function normally, but analytics and personalized advertising will be disabled.

6. Third-Party Links

This website contains links to third-party resources, including PubMed, ClinicalTrials.gov, DOI providers, and other scientific databases. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these external sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party site you visit through links from this website.

7. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical safeguards to protect this website, including HTTPS encryption (TLS) for all traffic, server-level firewalls, and intrusion prevention systems. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Children's Privacy

This website is intended for adult researchers and clinicians. We do not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we may take appropriate action.

9. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights under data protection laws such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including:

• The right to know what personal information is collected
• The right to access or delete your personal information
• The right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information
• The right to non-discrimination for exercising your rights

Because this website does not collect personal identifiers directly, most of the information we hold is anonymous or aggregated. To exercise any rights regarding data held by Google through Google Analytics or AdSense, please use the controls provided by Google linked in Sections 3 and 4 above.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
