Privacy notice
This site collects as little as possible: only what you choose to send us through the contact form. No cookies, no analytics, no advertising trackers.
Who we are
Simetra Biosciences (“Simetra”, “we”) is a company based in the United States, with teams in Cape Town and Italy. For anything about your personal information, write to hello@simetra.bio.
What we collect
- Contact form. What you type: who you are (pharma partner, investor, scientist or other), your name, your email address, your organisation if you add it, and your message.
- Server logs. Like any website, our hosting server records technical data for each request (IP address, browser type, time and page requested). We use these logs only to keep the site running and secure, and keep them for a short period.
We do not use cookies, analytics or tracking pixels. Fonts and images are served from our own server, so no third party sees your visit.
How we use it
We use what you send to read and answer your enquiry and, if you want, to continue the conversation (for example about a partnership, an investment or a research collaboration). We do not use it for marketing lists, and we never sell or share your personal information.
Who helps us
- Resend (United States) delivers the contact form to our inbox.
- Our hosting provider runs the server that serves this site.
They process the data only on our instructions and only to provide their service.
Where it is stored and for how long
Your message is processed and stored in the United States. We keep it as long as we need it to handle your enquiry and any relationship that follows, then delete it. You can ask us to delete it at any time.
Your rights
You can ask us at any time what we hold about you, and ask us to correct or delete it. Write to hello@simetra.bio; we reply within 30 days.
- Visitors from the EU, EEA or UK. We rely on our legitimate interest in answering messages sent to us, or on steps you ask us to take before entering into an agreement. You can also object to or restrict our use of your data, ask for a copy in a portable format, and complain to your local data protection authority. Transfers to the United States rely on appropriate safeguards, such as the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses.
- California residents. You have the right to know, correct and delete the personal information we hold about you, and we will not treat you differently for using these rights. We do not sell or share personal information.
Children
This site is not meant for children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect their information.
