If you are located in the EU or UK, this section applies to you.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR require us to explain the valid legal bases we rely on in order to process your personal information. We may rely on the following legal bases:

  • Consent. We may process your information if you have given us permission to use your personal information for a specific purpose. You can withdraw your consent at any time.

Our AI infrastructure provider (Hugging Face) receives generation settings only, never your personal information. These providers only receive the minimum information necessary to perform their services.

International Transfers

We are based in the United States, and our service providers process information in the United States. If you are located in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, your personal information is transferred to the United States. Where a provider is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (and its UK and Swiss extensions), we rely on that certification.

Specific information about the cookies we use is set out in our Cookie Notice.

6. DO WE OFFER ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE-BASED PRODUCTS?

In Short: We offer products, features, or tools powered by artificial intelligence, machine learning, or similar technologies.

As part of our Services, we offer products, features, or tools powered by artificial intelligence, machine learning, or similar technologies (collectively, "AI Products"). These tools are designed to enhance your experience and provide you with innovative solutions for early-stage drug discovery research.

Use of AI Technologies

We provide the AI Products through third-party AI service providers. Your generation requests and parameters are processed by these providers to enable molecular generation.

Our AI Products

Our AI Products provide molecular generation and analysis tools for early-stage drug discovery research.

Molecular Data Privacy

Generated molecular structures are handled with special privacy protections:

  • Molecular data is held only in temporary session storage, which is deleted 8 hours after your last activity
  • We do NOT permanently store generated molecules in our databases
  • We do NOT use generated molecules to train our AI models
  • We do NOT retain any record linking specific molecules to your account once your session storage is deleted
  • Molecular outputs are deleted automatically when that 8-hour window lapses, or immediately when you clear your workspace

This session-based approach ensures your research remains private and your intellectual property is protected.

7. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?

In Short: We keep your information only as long as necessary. Molecular data is never stored permanently.

Data Retention Periods

  • Account Information (email, username, preferences): Retained while your account is active, deleted within 30 days of account deletion
  • Payment Data: Full card details are held only by Stripe. Our copy of your Stripe customer and subscription records is kept while your account is active and as long as tax and accounting law requires after that
  • Usage Analytics: We track which models you use and generation counts to improve platform performance. This data is linked to your account but does not include any molecular structures or outputs. It is kept while your account is active and deleted with your account.
  • Generated Molecular Data: NOT stored permanently. Held in session storage and deleted 8 hours after your last activity.

We retain no molecular structures, SMILES strings, or generated chemical data once your session storage is deleted.

8. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?

In Short: We aim to protect your personal information through a system of organizational and technical security measures.

We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. These include:

  • SSL/TLS encryption for all data in transit
  • Encrypted database storage
  • Secure session management
  • Regular security updates and monitoring

While we work diligently to protect your information, we also recommend good security practices on your end, such as using strong passwords and keeping your login credentials confidential.

9. DO WE COLLECT INFORMATION FROM MINORS?

14. MOLECULAR DATA AND RESEARCH PRIVACY

In Short: We have designed our data handling specifically to protect your intellectual property and research privacy.

Your Research Privacy Commitment

We understand that researchers using our platform may be working on proprietary or sensitive projects. We have designed our data handling specifically to protect your intellectual property:

What We DO NOT Store:

  • Generated molecular structures or SMILES strings
  • Your specific molecular designs or modifications
  • Detailed generation history linking molecules to your account
  • Any proprietary research data you may be exploring

What We DO Store:

  • Total number of generations (for subscription limit tracking, linked to your account)
  • Which models you use (for platform performance analytics, linked to your account)
  • General platform usage patterns

Note: While usage counts are linked to your account for billing and analytics, we never store the actual molecular outputs or structures.

Session-Based Molecular Storage

Molecular data you generate, import or edit is held in temporary server-side session storage. The storage period is 8 hours from your last activity: every action in the workbench, including loading the page or exporting, restarts the 8-hour period, so your work remains available while you are actively using it. If 8 hours pass with no activity, it is deleted automatically. Clearing your workspace deletes it immediately. This data is:

  • Automatically deleted when your session expires
  • Not backed up to permanent storage
  • Not accessible to other users
  • Not used to train or improve our AI models

Your generated molecules belong entirely to you. We claim no rights to any molecular structures created through our platform.

15. DO WE MAKE UPDATES TO THIS NOTICE?
