The catalog is intended for adults age 21 or older accessing it for lawful laboratory research purposes.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Information we collect<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Site access and technical information.<\/strong> When you visit, our site and hosting systems may receive your IP address, browser and device information, pages requested, referral information, and security logs. The access notice records your confirmation that you are at least 21 and seeking access solely for lawful laboratory research. A browser cookie remembers that confirmation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Account and eligibility information.<\/strong> If you apply for an account, we collect your name, email address, password credential handled by WordPress, applicant type, organization or laboratory, role, optional organization website, research area, intended laboratory use, and required age, authority, qualified-handling, and research-only certifications. We record application time, attestation version, and hashed technical identifiers. Authorized staff may record reviewer checks, internal notes, approval status, decision time, and reviewer identity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Orders and communications.<\/strong> When you order or contact us, we collect items, quantities, billing and shipping details, contact information, order status, customer service correspondence, and the organization, purchaser role, research purpose, and order-specific certifications submitted at checkout. We record attestation version and time and hashed request identifiers. Product searches and cart contents are processed to provide the functions you request.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Payments.<\/strong> Depending on the method you choose, payment providers, Venmo or Zelle business accounts, and their underlying financial institutions may process payment information under their own policies. We keep order totals, chosen method, payment and reconciliation references, and status needed to match a payment to an order. If a separate hosted gateway is offered, its payment page may collect payment details directly. Do not send payment credentials or full card numbers to us by email.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How we use information<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Provide the catalog, accounts, cart, checkout, orders, shipping, and customer support.<\/li><li>Review purchaser applications, document research-use certifications, and decide whether an account may order.<\/li><li>Match payments to orders, prevent fraud or misuse, secure the site, and resolve disputes.<\/li><li>Maintain business, tax, transaction, and compliance records and respond to lawful requests.<\/li><li>Send transactional messages such as account, application, order, and payment status notices.<\/li><\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Account approval involves a manual review of the application. Research-use confirmation permits browsing; ordering requires an approved account and further checkout certifications.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cookies and similar technology<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WordPress and WooCommerce use cookies and browser storage to support login, account sessions, carts, checkout, and preferences. Our research-access cookie remembers the visitor\u2019s access confirmation. Hosting and security systems may use technical records to keep the site available and detect abuse. You can control cookies in your browser, but disabling essential cookies may prevent account, cart, checkout, or access-confirmation functions from working. If we add optional analytics or advertising technology, we will update this policy and any applicable controls to describe it.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who receives information<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We share information as needed with providers that host and operate the website (including Kinsta, WordPress, and WooCommerce services), payment providers and financial institutions selected for a transaction, shipping carriers, tax and operational service providers, and professional advisers. A provider receives information relevant to its function. We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to valid legal process, investigate fraud or prohibited use, protect people and the site, or in a business transfer. External payment services and linked websites have their own privacy notices.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Retention and security<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We keep account, application, compliance-review, order, payment-reference, and support records for as long as needed to run the service, document eligibility and transactions, meet legal or tax obligations, resolve disputes, and protect the site. The period varies with the record and applicable requirements. Deleting an account may not remove records that we must or reasonably need to keep for those purposes. We use access controls and site security measures appropriate to the information, but no internet service can promise absolute security.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your choices and privacy requests<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can review or update certain account details in <a href=\"https:\/\/sunglobalbio.com\/my-account\/\">My Account<\/a>. Depending on where you live and applicable law, you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, or exercise other available privacy rights. We may verify your identity before acting on a request and may retain information where required or permitted by law. To make a request, email <a href=\"mailto:SunGlobalFL@gmail.com?subject=Privacy%20request\">SunGlobalFL@gmail.com<\/a> with \u201cPrivacy request\u201d in the subject. Please do not include passwords, identity documents, or full payment credentials in an initial message.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Age and research access<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The site is not intended for people under 21. We do not knowingly permit under-21 users to apply for an account or order. If you believe someone under 21 provided information, contact us at the address above so we can review it. Our access confirmation is an attestation, not independent age verification by itself.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Changes and contact<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We may update this policy as the site, providers, or requirements change. The date at the top shows the current version. Material changes will be communicated as required by applicable law.
