Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 12, 2026

This policy explains how Vincent Cheng (“we”) handles personal information on LifeSciFind. We collect what we need to run the directory and do not sell personal information.

Information we collect

• Account information: name, email address, and profile image from Google sign-in or an emailed sign-in link; and, for security, the IP address and browser type of your sessions.
• Vendor submissions and profile management: details you provide about a company and the contact names and emails of company representatives.
• Buyer inquiries: your name, email, message, and what you asked for (a question, a demo, or pricing); any company, role, buying stage, and timeframe you add (if you leave the company blank, we record your email’s domain instead); and the page and referral/campaign details of the visit. When you send an inquiry, we record when you sent it, deliver it to the vendor you chose so they can reply to you directly, and email you a confirmation.
• Payments: handled by Stripe. We receive the purchaser’s name, email, billing address, tax ID if provided, and the plan bought; we never receive full card numbers.
• Email updates: your email address if you subscribe.
• Corrections and reports: the message and, if you provide it, your email.
• Usage analytics: we use Vercel Web Analytics, which does not use cookies, to count visits and pages in aggregate. To give vendors their profile statistics, we also keep our own daily totals of profile views, outbound clicks by type of link (website, email, the vendor’s button, or a resource), inquiry form opens, and sponsored placement views and clicks. These totals are counts per vendor and day and contain no personal information. Links to vendor websites carry tags showing that the visit came from LifeSciFind and which link was used; the tags contain no personal information.
• Public vendor information: to build profiles we review vendors’ public websites and materials, which can include business contact details or the names of staff published there.

How we use it

• to operate accounts, profiles, plans, and inquiry delivery;
• to send service emails such as sign-in links, inquiry confirmations, submission updates, and receipts;
• to send email updates you subscribed to (you can unsubscribe anytime);
• to give vendors aggregate statistics about their profile and placements;
• to keep the site secure, prevent abuse, and meet legal and tax obligations.

Who we share it with

Vendors receive the inquiries you send them, with your name and email so they can reply to you. We also use service providers that process information on our behalf:

• Vercel (hosting) and Prisma (database hosting);
• Stripe (payments, billing, and tax);
• Resend (email delivery and subscriber lists);
• Google (sign-in);
• Vercel Web Analytics (cookieless usage analytics);
• Amazon Web Services (storage of logos and images);
• Inngest (background processing);
• AI and web-capture providers (including the Vercel AI Gateway and Jina), which process public vendor web pages and submitted vendor material to help draft profiles;
• Revinel (serving sponsored placements).

We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect rights and safety, or as part of a sale or transfer of the business. We do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Cookies

We use cookies needed for sign-in and security, and your browser stores display preferences such as light or dark mode. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

Retention

We keep account and vendor information while the account or listing is active, inquiries for as long as needed to deliver them and support the vendor’s plan, and billing records as long as tax and accounting law requires. We delete or anonymize information we no longer need.

Your choices and rights

You can ask to access, correct, or delete your personal information, or to object to or restrict its use, by emailing hello@lifescifind.com. Depending on where you live (for example California, the EU, or the UK), you may have additional rights, including to appeal a decision or complain to a regulator. We will not treat you differently for exercising them. Unsubscribe links are in every update email.

Security

We use encryption in transit, access controls, and reputable providers. No system is perfectly secure; contact us if you believe your information has been compromised.

Children

LifeSciFind is a business directory not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect their information.

International users

We are based in the United States and process information there and wherever our providers operate.

Changes and contact

We will post updates here with a new date. Questions: hello@lifescifind.com. Mailing address available on request. See also our Terms of Service.
