Privacy Policy

Rosie Vaccine ("Rosie Vaccine," "we," "us," or "our") designs personalized mRNA cancer‑vaccine blueprints for dogs as a computational service. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect through rosievaccine.com, how we use it, and the choices you have. It covers the information of the pet owners, veterinarians, and others who contact us. Because our services are for veterinary patients, we generally do not collect human medical records, and our website is not intended to receive protected health information (PHI).

1. Information we collect

Information you give us. When you submit our contact/intake form, we collect:

• Your name and email address (required);
• Your role (e.g., pet owner or veterinarian), if you select it;
• Any information you choose to include in the free‑text message field — for example your dog's breed, diagnosis, tumor type, or current care.

Please do not include sensitive personal information or human medical information in your message unless specifically requested.

Information we collect automatically. When you visit the site, our hosting and infrastructure providers automatically record technical data such as your IP address, browser and device type, and the date/time of your visit, for security and to operate the site.

We use privacy‑friendly, cookieless analytics (Vercel Web Analytics) to understand aggregate website usage. We do not use advertising cookies or cross‑site tracking, and we do not knowingly collect information from children.

2. How we use your information

We use your information to:

• Respond to your inquiry and communicate with you about Rosie Vaccine;
• Coordinate your project with your veterinarian, sequencing laboratory, manufacturing partner, or other service providers involved in your request;
• Operate, secure, and improve our website and service;
• Comply with legal obligations.

Our vaccine‑design process uses computational and AI‑assisted bioinformatics. We do not use your personal contact information to train AI models.

3. How we share your information

We share personal information only as needed to run the service:

• Service providers ("processors") — trusted service providers that host, secure, or operate our website and communications (such as our hosting, database, email, and form providers). They may process your information only on our instructions.
• Care partners, at your direction — such as your treating veterinarian/veterinary oncologist, a sequencing laboratory, or a manufacturing partner — to move your case forward.
• Legal and safety — if required by law, or to protect our rights, users, or the public.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for advertising.

4. Cookies and third‑party resources

We do not use advertising or cross‑site tracking cookies. Our analytics (Vercel Web Analytics) is cookieless and measures aggregate usage. Some third‑party resources (such as fonts or JavaScript libraries) may receive technical information such as your IP address when pages load. Any cookies used are limited to what's necessary for the site and form to function.

5. Where your information is stored

We are based in the United States, and your information is stored and processed in the United States. If you contact us from outside the U.S. (for example, from Canada, the U.K., or the EU), you understand that your information will be transferred to and processed in the U.S., which may have different data‑protection rules than your country.

6. How long we keep it

We keep the information you submit for as long as needed to respond to you and to operate the service. We generally retain inquiries for up to 24 months after our last communication, unless a longer retention period is required by law or needed to resolve ongoing matters.

7. Your choices and rights

You may ask us to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, or to stop contacting you. Depending on where you reside, you may have additional privacy rights under applicable law. To make a request, email privacy@rosievaccine.com. We will respond as required by applicable law and will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.

8. Email communications

If you contact us, we may respond by email regarding your inquiry. You may opt out of non‑essential communications at any time, although we may still send messages necessary to respond to requests you initiate.

9. Not veterinary or medical advice

This website provides information about our services and is not veterinary or medical advice. Treatment decisions should always be made in consultation with a licensed veterinarian.

10. How we protect your information

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect the information we maintain. No method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice.
