Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Ribosome Research Centre (“Ribosome Research Centre,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) respects the privacy of individuals who visit our website, contact us, inquire about our services, or apply for employment opportunities.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, store, and protect personal information obtained through our website, https://www.ribosomeresearch.com.

This Policy applies to personal information collected through our website and related communications initiated through it. It does not automatically govern information processed under separate client contracts, research agreements, employment arrangements, or other specific agreements, which may contain additional privacy and confidentiality terms.

3. How We Use Your Information

We may use personal information for legitimate and specified purposes, including:

• Responding to questions, contact requests and research-service inquiries.
• Communicating information about our preclinical research and related services.
• Understanding prospective clients' general requirements and coordinating follow-up communications.
• Processing job applications and managing recruitment activities.
• Maintaining, troubleshooting and improving our website.
• Protecting our website, systems and communications against misuse, fraud or security incidents.
• Maintaining business records and meeting applicable legal or regulatory obligations.

We will not use personal information for purposes that are incompatible with the purpose for which it was collected, except where permitted or required by applicable law.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

We will handle personal information in accordance with applicable Indian laws and the requirements in force at the relevant time.

Where required by applicable law, we will obtain valid consent or rely on another legally permitted basis before processing personal information.

Where consent is relied upon, individuals may withdraw it through the available communication channels, subject to applicable law. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

5. Disclosure and Sharing of Information

We do not intend to sell personal information collected through our website.

We may share relevant information, where necessary and lawful, with:

• Authorised employees and internal teams responsible for responding to inquiries or processing recruitment applications.
• Website hosting, maintenance, email, IT support and other service providers assisting us in operating our business.
• Professional advisers, auditors or other authorised parties where necessary.
• Government authorities, regulators, courts or law-enforcement agencies where disclosure is required or permitted by law.

Where appropriate, we seek to ensure that service providers handle information only for authorised purposes and apply suitable confidentiality and security safeguards.

6. Cookies and Website Analytics

Our website may use cookies or similar technologies to support essential website functionality, remember preferences, maintain security or understand website performance.

Analytics or advertising technologies may be used only if implemented on the website. The specific tools, purposes and data collected will depend on the actual configuration.

Where required, we will provide appropriate notice and obtain consent before using non-essential cookies or tracking technologies.

You may be able to manage cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including responding to inquiries, processing recruitment applications, maintaining required records, resolving disputes and meeting applicable legal obligations.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the reason it was collected. When information is no longer required, we will take appropriate steps to delete it or otherwise handle it in accordance with applicable law and our retention practices.

8. Data Security

We take reasonable steps appropriate to the nature of the information and our operations to protect personal information against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, loss or misuse.

Security measures may include access controls, appropriate technical safeguards and administrative procedures, depending on the systems in use.

However, no method of transmitting or storing information electronically can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee absolute security.

If you believe that information submitted to us has been compromised, please contact us using the details provided below.

9. Confidential Research and Business Information

Our website is intended primarily for general inquiries and information about our services.

Please do not submit confidential research data, unpublished study results, proprietary protocols, client-owned materials, personal health information or other restricted information through general website contact forms unless an appropriate secure channel and authorised process have been specifically provided.

Confidentiality, ownership, permitted use and protection of information relating to commissioned research projects may be governed by separate confidentiality agreements, contracts, study protocols or other written arrangements.

Nothing in this Policy replaces the confidentiality obligations agreed under such arrangements.

10. Third-Party Websites and Services

Our website may contain links to third-party websites or services for convenience or informational purposes.

We do not control third-party websites and are not responsible for their content, security practices or privacy policies. When visiting an external website, please review its applicable terms and privacy policy.

11. Your Privacy Rights

Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information relating to you, withdraw consent where processing is based on consent, or raise a privacy-related concern.

The availability and scope of these rights depend on the applicable legal provisions and any relevant exceptions.

To make a privacy-related request, please email ceo@ribosomeresearch.com with a clear description of your request. We may need to verify your identity before acting on it.

We will review and respond to requests in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
