PrivacyPolicy

1. Overview

Vecentra Pty Ltd (ACN 697 965 138) ("Vecentra", "we", "us", or "our") operates the website vecentra.ai and provides an integrated AI drug discovery platform and related services (the "Services"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information when you visit our website, contact us, or engage with our Services.

We are committed to handling personal information in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and, where applicable, the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). By using our website or Services, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

2. Information we collect

We collect only the information we need to operate our business and deliver our Services. This may include:

• Contact details you provide — such as your name, email address, company, role, and the content of any message submitted through our contact form or sent to us directly.
• Partnership and research information — details you share when discussing a potential engagement, including the compounds, targets, or research objectives you wish to evaluate.
• Technical data — IP address, browser type, device information, and pages visited, collected automatically through standard server logs and privacy-respecting analytics.
• Communications — records of correspondence and meeting notes when you interact with our team.

We do not require you to create an account to browse our website. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children, and our Services are not directed at individuals under 18.

3. Research and molecular data

When you engage Vecentra to evaluate or design compounds, you may submit chemical structures (for example, SMILES strings), target information, and related research data. We treat this material as confidential and process it solely to deliver the agreed Services.

• Compound structures and research inputs are used only to generate the predictions, rankings, and reports you have requested.
• We do not sell, license, or disclose your proprietary compounds or research data to third parties.
• Where a separate confidentiality agreement, master services agreement, or data processing agreement is in place, its terms govern the handling of your research data.
• Outputs of the platform are provided for research use only and are not validated for clinical diagnosis or therapeutic decision-making.

4. How we use your information

We use personal information to:

• Respond to enquiries, provide information, and arrange platform demonstrations.
• Deliver, operate, maintain, and improve our Services and website.
• Communicate about partnerships, investor materials, and service updates you have requested.
• Maintain security, prevent fraud or misuse, and comply with our legal obligations.
• Conduct internal analytics to understand how our website is used and improve the experience.

Where we rely on consent (for example, for certain marketing communications), you may withdraw that consent at any time. Where we rely on legitimate interests, we balance those interests against your rights and freedoms.

5. How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information in limited circumstances:

• Service providers — trusted vendors who help us operate our website and communications (for example, hosting, email delivery, and analytics), bound by confidentiality and data-protection obligations.
• Professional advisors — legal, accounting, and insurance advisors where reasonably necessary.
• Legal and regulatory — where required by law, court order, or to protect the rights, safety, and property of Vecentra, our users, or others.
• Business transfers — in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, subject to appropriate confidentiality protections.

6. Hosting and international transfers

Our website and certain Services are hosted with reputable cloud and infrastructure providers that may store or process data in Australia, the United States, the European Union, or other jurisdictions. Where personal information is transferred overseas, we take reasonable steps to ensure it is handled consistently with this policy and applicable data-protection laws, including the use of appropriate contractual safeguards.

7. Data security

We implement technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, or alteration. These include encryption in transit, access controls, least-privilege principles, and ongoing review of our security practices.

No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. While we work to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security and encourage you to share sensitive research data only under an agreed confidentiality framework.

8. Data retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, to comply with our legal, tax, and accounting obligations, and to resolve disputes. Research data submitted under an engagement is retained and deleted in accordance with the applicable agreement. When information is no longer required, we take reasonable steps to securely delete or de-identify it.

9. Your rights and choices

Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to:

• Request access to the personal information we hold about you.
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Request deletion of your personal information, where we are not required to retain it.
• Object to or restrict certain processing, and withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
• Opt out of marketing communications at any time using the unsubscribe link or by contacting us.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) or your local data-protection authority.

10. Cookies and analytics

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to operate essential functionality, remember preferences, and understand aggregate usage. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling some cookies may affect how the website functions. Where required, we will seek your consent before setting non-essential cookies.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. The current version will always be available on this page with its effective date. Material changes will be communicated where appropriate.
