Overview

Biotech Morning (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is a free, AI-curated daily newsletter covering breakthroughs, market moves, and policy shifts in biotech. This policy explains what data we collect, how we collect it, why we use it, who we share it with, and how we protect it.

  • Send transactional emails (subscription confirmations, preference updates)
  • Understand how readers engage with our website so we can improve it
  • Detect and prevent abuse or unauthorized access

We may also disclose information if required by law, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of Biotech Morning, our users, or the public.

Cookies & Tracking

We use cookies set by Google Analytics to understand website traffic and usage patterns. These cookies do not identify you personally. We do not use advertising or remarketing cookies.

You can opt out by adjusting your browser's cookie settings or by using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Data Security

We use industry-standard measures to protect your data, including TLS encryption for all data in transit, secure hosting infrastructure, and access controls that limit data access to authorized services only.

No method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. If we become aware of a data breach affecting your personal information, we will notify you as required by applicable law.

Data Retention

We retain your email address and content preference for as long as your subscription is active. If you unsubscribe, we remove your data from our mailing list promptly. Anonymized analytics data may be retained indefinitely as it cannot be linked back to you.

International Data Transfers

Biotech Morning is operated from the United States. If you are accessing our website from outside the US, your data will be transferred to and processed in the United States, where our hosting and email delivery infrastructure is located. We ensure that such transfers comply with applicable data protection laws by relying on our service providers' data processing agreements and standard contractual clauses where required.

  • Data portability — request an export of your data in a machine-readable format.
  • Withdraw consent — you may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing performed before withdrawal.

EU/EEA Residents

If you are located in the EU or EEA, you have additional rights under the GDPR, including the right to restrict processing, the right to object to processing based on legitimate interest, and the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority. The legal bases for our processing activities are noted in the “What We Collect” table above.
