Privacy policy.

WHO WE ARE

BioForge Living Systems is a sole-proprietor reef chemistry brand operated by Carlos Mendiluze in Hialeah, Florida. This privacy policy applies to bioforgesystems.com and any communications you receive from us.

WHAT WE COLLECT

We collect only what you give us, and only for the purposes described below.

Waitlist signup. Email address. Submitted voluntarily through the waitlist form. Used only to notify you when BioForge launches and to share occasional launch-related updates.

Beta application. Name, email, tank size, tank type, current dosing method, current chemistry brand, and any narrative answers you provide. Used only to evaluate beta program fit and contact selected applicants.

Direct correspondence. If you email hello@bioforgesystems.com, qc@bioforgesystems.com, or partnerships@bioforgesystems.com, we keep your message and reply so we can continue the conversation.

Basic web analytics. Aggregated, anonymized page-view data. No third-party advertising trackers, no cross-site tracking, no fingerprinting.

WHAT WE DON'T DO

We do not sell your personal information. We do not share it with advertisers, data brokers, or marketing partners. We do not use it to build behavioral profiles. We do not run third-party ad networks on this site.

WHERE IT LIVES

Waitlist and beta data is stored in services we use to run the business (email and form providers). We choose providers that have their own privacy commitments, but we do not enrich, augment, or share your data outside of those tools.

HOW LONG WE KEEP IT

Waitlist emails are kept until you unsubscribe or request deletion. Beta applications are kept for one year, or until you request deletion — whichever comes first. Direct correspondence is kept until the conversation has been concluded, then archived.

YOUR RIGHTS

You can request a copy of any personal data we hold about you, request that we delete it, or request that we correct it. Email hello@bioforgesystems.com with the subject line "Privacy request" and we will respond within 30 days.

California residents have additional rights under the CCPA, including the right to know, the right to delete, and the right to opt out of any sale of personal information (we do not sell personal information). EU/UK residents have rights under the GDPR, including the rights to access, rectify, erase, restrict, and port. All of these are honored at the email above.

CHILDREN

BioForge is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If you believe a child has provided information through this site, email us and we will delete it.

CHANGES

If we update this policy, the "Last updated" date at the top will change. Material changes will be announced to anyone on the waitlist before they take effect.
