Privacy Policy

Effective Date: May 4, 2026

Chondrule AI Inc. is committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparent data handling practices.

Introduction

Welcome to Chondrule AI! Chondrule AI Inc. ("Chondrule", "we", "us", or "our") respects your privacy and is dedicated to protecting your personal data.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your information when you visit our website at chondruleai.com (the "Site"), submit inquiries via our contact form, or sign up for our early access waitlist.

As an early-stage, pre-product, pre-revenue startup, our current operations are limited to presenting our biological discovery engine vision, gathering waitlist requests, and managing general inquiries. This policy applies strictly to these informational activities.


1. Information We Collect

We only collect information that you voluntarily provide to us or that is automatically collected to ensure the functionality and security of the Site.

A. Personal Information You Provide

  • Waitlist Submissions: If you join our waitlist, we collect your work email address.
  • Contact Submissions: If you submit a contact form, we collect your first name, last name, work email address, company or organization/institution name, and any other details you choose to share (such as your phone number or message content).

B. Information Automatically Collected

When you visit our Site, certain standard browser and device information is collected automatically to analyze site traffic, prevent abuse, and optimize performance. This may include:

  • IP addresses and approximate location data.
  • Browser type, operating system, and language preferences.
  • Referring URLs, timestamps, and pages viewed on our Site.

2. How We Use Your Information

We utilize the collected information strictly for legitimate operational purposes, including:

  • Managing your subscription to our early access waitlist and communicating status updates.
  • Responding to inquiries, partnership proposals, or customer support requests submitted via the Site.
  • Operating, maintaining, optimizing, and securing the Site against malicious activities or abuse.
  • Complying with applicable legal, regulatory, or administrative requirements.

3. Information Sharing & Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, trade, or distribute your personal information to third parties.

We may share or process your data only in the following limited circumstances:

  • Service Providers: We may share data with trusted third-party contractors and vendors who perform operational services on our behalf (e.g., hosting providers, database managers, and email transmission services). These providers are contractually obligated to protect your data and only use it as instructed.
  • Legal Compliance: We may disclose information if required to do so by applicable law, governmental request, judicial proceeding, or to protect the safety, rights, or property of Chondrule, our users, or the public.
  • Business Transfers: In connection with or during negotiations of any merger, sale of corporate assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business, your information may be transferred to the acquiring entity under strict confidentiality guarantees.

4. Data Security & Retention

We implement appropriate administrative, technical, and physical security measures (including secure database connections and encryption during transit) designed to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, loss, or disclosure.

However, no online database or transmission over the internet can be guaranteed 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We will retain your personal information only as long as is necessary to manage our early access waitlist, fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, or comply with legal requirements.
