Privacy Policy

This page explains what information PeptideBenchmark may collect, how it may be used, and what third-party services may be involved when you use the site.

Overview

PeptideBenchmark is a content website focused on peptide benchmark data, research coverage, and editorial guides. We do not currently offer user accounts, direct checkout, or customer dashboards.

Information we may collect automatically

Like most websites, PeptideBenchmark and the infrastructure providers used to serve it may automatically collect limited technical information such as:

  • IP address
  • browser type
  • device or operating-system information
  • referring page or domain
  • pages visited and basic request timing

This kind of information is generally used for site delivery, reliability, abuse prevention, debugging, and aggregate traffic understanding rather than for creating user accounts or selling products directly to you.

No user accounts at this time

PeptideBenchmark does not currently require account creation to read content. We do not currently maintain a first-party member login system or customer purchase history database.

Newsletter and email collection

If you sign up for the Weekly Peptide Intel newsletter or a sponsorship waitlist, we collect the email address you submit (plus, for sponsorship waitlists, any vendor name or note you choose to include). Signups are protected by Cloudflare Turnstile, which processes the verification challenge under Cloudflare's own privacy terms.

Newsletter subscriptions are double opt-in: no issue is ever sent to an address that has not clicked the confirmation link. Subscription state (pending, confirmed, unsubscribed) is stored in Cloudflare Workers KV, and emails are delivered through Amazon SES. Every issue includes a one-click unsubscribe link and header; unsubscribing takes effect immediately and permanently until you re-subscribe and reconfirm.

Newsletter emails contain no tracking pixels — we do not measure opens, and links go directly to their destinations. Addresses are used only to send the newsletter (or sponsorship availability updates, for waitlist entries), are never sold or shared for marketing, and unsubscribed addresses are retained solely as a suppression record so we don't email them again.

Core public content can be browsed without creating an account or providing any of the above.

Referral and affiliate links

Some pages may contain referral or affiliate links. If you click one of those links, the destination site may be able to tell that the visit came from PeptideBenchmark or a PeptideBenchmark-associated referral code or identifier.

We may receive compensation, points, or similar credit if a referral relationship applies. That activity is governed in part by the privacy and tracking practices of the destination site, not just PeptideBenchmark.

Third-party content and embeds

Some pages may include third-party embedded content, such as YouTube videos. When you load a page with an embedded third-party player or widget, that third party may collect data such as IP address, browser information, and interaction data, and may set cookies or similar tracking technologies depending on its own policies and your browser settings.

Analytics and tracking

PeptideBenchmark uses privacy-oriented analytics to understand aggregate traffic patterns and measure outbound referral clicks to vendor storefronts. These tools do not create user accounts and are not used to sell personal information.

  • Cloudflare Web Analytics — cookie-free pageview and performance metrics when enabled. See Cloudflare Web Analytics.
  • Google Ads click measurement (first-party) — if you arrive from a Google ad, Google appends a click identifier (such as gclid) to the landing URL. The site stores that identifier in your browser's local storage (no cookies, no tag or pixel) for up to 90 days. If you later click a tracked vendor link, the identifier may be reported back to Google Ads so the ad click can be counted as having led to a vendor visit. It identifies the ad click, not you, and is not combined with any information that identifies you.
  • First-party outbound click counts — when you click a tracked vendor storefront or affiliate link, the site may record the vendor slug, link placement (for example vendor profile or pricing board), and page path via a first-party endpoint. No email, name, or checkout data is collected.

How information may be used

Information associated with site usage may be used to:

  • deliver and secure the site
  • diagnose technical problems
  • understand broad traffic patterns
  • monitor abuse, spam, or malicious activity
  • evaluate performance of content or referral flows at an aggregate level

Third-party services

Depending on the deployment environment, PeptideBenchmark may rely on third-party infrastructure and platform providers, such as hosting, CDN, DNS, repository, or embedded-media providers. Those providers may process technical request data in the course of serving the site.

Data sharing

We do not describe the site as selling personal information directly through the current public content experience. However, third-party services involved in serving, embedding, or referring traffic may receive technical or referral-related data as part of normal operation.

Data retention

We do not currently publish a fixed retention schedule for infrastructure logs or third-party platform data. Retention may depend on the policies of the hosting, CDN, or embedded-service providers involved.

Children's privacy

PeptideBenchmark is not directed to children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe a child has provided personal information through the site, contact us and we will review the situation.

Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated as the site changes. If PeptideBenchmark later adds account systems, additional analytics tooling, contact forms, or other new data collection features, this page will be revised to reflect that. (Last substantive update: July 2026, when the newsletter signup launched.)
