Because Stealth Peptides supplies research-only products, we may process information to help confirm that orders appear consistent with legitimate research-only use.

This may include reviewing order details, customer confirmations, customer communications, account information, delivery information and any requests made before or after an order.

We may use this information to decide whether to accept, delay, cancel, refund or refuse an order where we believe the order may be inconsistent with our policies, legal obligations or research-only supply position.

Payment Information

Payments may be processed by third-party payment providers.

Stealth Peptides does not normally store full card numbers or full payment credentials on our website servers.

Payment providers may process your personal and payment information in accordance with their own terms, privacy policies and security requirements.

We may receive limited payment-related information, such as payment status, transaction references, billing details, fraud checks and confirmation of successful or failed payment.

You can unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time by using the unsubscribe link in our emails or contacting us directly.

We will still send essential service communications relating to your orders, account, payments, delivery, policy updates or legal notices where required.

We may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the website, remember preferences, support checkout, protect the website, analyse traffic and improve user experience.

Where required by law, non-essential cookies such as analytics or marketing cookies will only be used with your consent.

Further details are provided in our Cookies Policy.

Where enabled, we may use advertising or conversion tracking tools to measure campaign performance, understand website traffic and improve marketing activity.

  • Cookie consent records: retained for a reasonable period to evidence and manage your preferences.
  • Security and fraud prevention records: retained for as long as reasonably necessary to protect the website, customers and business.

Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the information, the reason it was collected and any legal or operational requirements.

How We Protect Personal Information

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.

These measures may include secure website hosting, SSL encryption, access controls, password protection, limited staff or contractor access, payment provider security tools, website security monitoring and regular system maintenance.
