1. Information collection and use

Vela West LLC (hereafter “the Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is the sole owner of the information collected on this website. We only collect personal data that you voluntarily provide to us through email, account registration, checkout forms, contact forms, or other forms of direct communication.

This information is used solely to respond to your inquiries or fulfill your explicit requests, such as processing, validating, and shipping your orders. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties, except as strictly necessary to complete your transaction, for example passing address details to our delivery carriers or secure payment gateways.

2. Order and financial information

When placing an order, you will be required to provide specific contact and financial information, including:

  • Full name and organization or laboratory affiliation, where applicable
  • Billing and physical shipping addresses
  • Payment details, such as credit card or electronic payment data

This information is used strictly for billing purposes, identity verification, fraud prevention, and order fulfillment. If there is an issue with processing your order, or if a batch or compliance audit is required, we will use this validated contact information to reach you directly.

3. Communications and marketing

Unless you explicitly opt out or request otherwise, we may contact you via email in the future. These communications may inform you about:

  • Laboratory product updates and new research compounds
  • Technical documentation and batch records
  • Promotions and store announcements
  • Material updates to this Privacy Policy

Note: opting out of marketing email does not prevent essential order-related or legal communications.

4. Your rights and choices

You retain complete control over your personal data. You have the right to opt out of future marketing communications from us at any time. You can execute this right by clicking the “unsubscribe” link in any promotional email, or by contacting us directly using the official support channels provided on our storefront.

Additionally, you may contact us at any time to:

  • Review the specific data we maintain about your account or business entity
  • Request corrections to any inaccurate, outdated, or incomplete data
  • Request the permanent deletion of your data, subject to mandatory tax, transaction history, and regulatory record-keeping laws
  • Express any concerns regarding our handling or application of your personal data

5. Security measures

We take the security of your confidential information seriously. When you submit sensitive data through our website, it is protected both online and offline:

  • Online protection. Sensitive information such as card numbers or account passwords is encrypted and transmitted using industry-standard protocols. You can verify this secure link by looking for the padlock icon in your browser address bar and confirming the URL begins with “https”.
  • Offline protection. Access to personally identifiable information is restricted to designated employees who require the data to perform specific operational tasks, such as billing, compliance audits, or specialized customer support.
  • Infrastructure security. The servers and digital storage systems holding personally identifiable information are maintained in a secure, monitored environment using modern firewall technologies.

While we make every effort to secure your information, no online system is completely secure. By using our services, you accept the inherent risks of internet-based transactions.

6. Third-party service providers

To manage our storefront, fulfill orders, and maintain regulatory compliance, we partner with third-party service providers. These include payment processors, shipping carriers, and verification systems.

These third parties are contractually prohibited from using your personally identifiable information for any secondary purpose outside of executing the specific services we have contracted them to perform.

7. Policy updates

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to adapt to evolving privacy laws, tracking regulations, or platform changes. Any adjustments or structural rewrites will be posted directly to this page with a revised “Last updated” date. Your continued use of our website after modifications are published constitutes acceptance of those updates.

8. Contact us

If you have questions, concerns, or technical inquiries regarding this Privacy Policy, or how your laboratory purchase data is processed, please contact:

Effective date: June 2026. Last updated by the Vela West LLC compliance and security team.
