Oro Compounds respects your privacy and is dedicated to protecting the confidential identifying data of all researchers, research directors, and procurement specialists using our portal. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
To maintain compliant research procurement and statutory audit logs, we collect limited account and session information when you interact with Oro Compounds:
We use your information to verify eligibility, process and ship orders, generate certificates of analysis, maintain legally required compliance records, respond to inquiries, and provide account support. We do not use your data to provide medical advice or to facilitate any use outside of lawful research use.
We do not store, process, or transmit raw credit card numbers on our servers. All transactions are handled through independent PCI-DSS compliant gateways using end-to-end tokenization. Banking descriptors are sanitized as generic operational references (e.g., “ORO COMPOUNDS ORDER #[ID]”) to protect your research’s billing records and avoid disclosing any specific compound name.
We share your information only on a need-to-know basis with essential operational partners: logistics couriers (USPS, UPS, FedEx) for cold-chain dispatch, secure email relays for order updates, and third-party testing facilities for COA verification. We do not sell, rent, or trade your data to any data broker, advertising network, or marketing aggregator.
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

We retain your account information and compliance records (including 21+ verification and research-use acknowledgments) for as long as your account is active and for the period required by law to support research chemical distribution compliance. Transactional records may be kept beyond account closure where retention is legally mandated.
We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information, including encrypted password storage, session-based authentication, and access limited to authorized personnel. No method of transmission or storage is fully secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We use strictly necessary session cookies and encrypted local storage tokens to maintain your authenticated session across our two-gate security wall and preserve your research cart. We do not deploy intrusive third-party cross-site advertising trackers. You may disable cookies in your browser, though some site features may not function as intended.
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in law or our practices. The most current version will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Your continued use of this website after any posted change constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
