Privacy Policy
How we collect, use and protect your personal data. Last updated: 19 August 2026
Who we are
Pure Peptides Direct is a research peptide supplier based in Ireland. We are the data controller for personal data collected through this website. This policy explains what we collect, why we collect it, and the rights you have under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
What we collect
- Account details: your name, email address, phone number and institution or laboratory name.
- Enquiry and order details: the products you enquire about, quantities, and shipping address.
- Website usage data: pages visited, device and browser information, collected via cookies and analytics.
- Marketing preferences: whether you have opted in to marketing email, and the date and source of that choice.
Marketing emails
We only send marketing email where you have given us your consent. Opting in is entirely optional and is never a condition of creating an account, placing an enquiry or receiving service and order-related email.
- Product news: new peptides added to the catalogue and updates to research profiles.
- Availability updates: restocks, back-order status and stock changes.
- Offers and discounts: occasional pricing offers for account holders.
You can withdraw your consent at any time in My Account under Email Preferences, or by using the unsubscribe link in any marketing email. Withdrawing is as easy as opting in. We record the date and source of your consent (for example, at signup or from your account page) together with the version of the consent wording shown to you, so we can demonstrate the preference you set. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
Legal basis for processing
- Consent — for newsletter sign-ups and non-essential cookies. You can withdraw consent at any time.
- Contract necessity — to process and respond to your enquiries and orders.
- Legitimate interest — to keep the site secure and to prevent fraud and misuse.
How we use your information
- To respond to enquiries and provide pricing on request.
- To process, confirm and fulfil orders.
- To provide access to your account and order history.
- To send updates you have specifically requested.
- To improve the content, performance and usability of the site.
Data retention
Account and order data is retained for as long as your account remains active, plus a reasonable further period to meet legal, tax and accounting obligations. Enquiry data that does not result in an order may be deleted after 12 months.
Sharing your data
We do not sell personal data. We share it only where necessary:
- With payment and logistics providers, strictly to fulfil an order you have placed.
- With legal or regulatory authorities where we are required to do so by law.
International transfers
Where personal data is transferred outside the European Economic Area, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as standard contractual clauses or an adequacy decision.
Your rights under GDPR
- Access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Rectification — ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Erasure — ask us to delete your data where there is no overriding reason to keep it.
- Restriction — ask us to limit how we process your data.
- Portability — receive your data in a portable, machine-readable format.
- Objection — object to processing carried out on the basis of legitimate interest.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Irish Data Protection Commission at dataprotection.ie.
