These third-party service providers are contractually bound to confidentiality and are only allowed to use your personal data for the specific services they provide on our behalf.

  • Affiliates: As an affiliate website, we may share your data with our affiliate partners in order to process and fulfill product purchases. For example, if you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase, your data may be shared with the relevant merchant to complete the transaction. All affiliate partners are required to maintain the same high standards of data protection that we follow, ensuring that your information is secure and used only as necessary for the transaction.

7. Data Security and Retention

Data Security and Retention


At BIOHACKINGWIZ, protecting your personal data is our top priority. We implement robust technical and organizational measures to ensure your data remains secure. Below are the key practices we follow:

  • Data Encryption: All sensitive information, such as payment details and personal data, is encrypted both in transit and at rest using advanced encryption protocols (e.g., SSL/TLS). This ensures that your data is protected from unauthorized access during transmission over the internet and while stored on our systems.
  • Access Control: Access to your personal data is restricted to authorized personnel who need the information to perform their job responsibilities (e.g., processing payments, handling customer inquiries). We use role-based access controls and authentication mechanisms to minimize the risk of unauthorized access to your data.
  • Regular Security Audits: We conduct regular audits, vulnerability assessments, and penetration testing to evaluate the effectiveness of our security measures. These audits help us identify potential risks and ensure that our systems are up to date with the latest security standards.
  • Data Anonymization and Pseudonymization: Where possible, we anonymize or pseudonymize your personal data to further protect your privacy. For example, usage data or analytics may be anonymized so that it cannot be traced back to any individual.
  • Incident Response Plan: We maintain a detailed incident response plan in case of any data breach or security incident. This plan ensures that any breach is promptly identified, contained, and reported to the relevant authorities in accordance with applicable laws.

Data Retention


We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, as outlined in this Privacy Policy, or as required by applicable laws and regulations. Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the data and the purposes for which it was collected. For example:

  • Transaction Data: Retained for the duration necessary to complete the transaction and comply with accounting and tax requirements.
  • Marketing Data: Retained until you withdraw consent or opt out of marketing communications.
  • Legal Obligations: Certain data may be retained for longer periods if required by law (e.g., for tax, legal, or regulatory reasons).

After the applicable retention period, we will securely delete or anonymize your personal data to ensure it can no longer be associated with you.

8. International Data Transfers


As BIOHACKINGWIZ serves a global audience, your personal information may be transferred to and processed in countries outside of your home country, including countries that may have different data protection laws than those in your jurisdiction. For example, if you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom (UK), your data may be transferred to the United States or other countries where our servers, partners, or service providers are located.

We take the protection of your personal data seriously and implement appropriate safeguards to ensure that your data remains secure, regardless of where it is processed. These safeguards include:

  • Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs): For transfers of personal data from the EEA or the UK to countries that have not been deemed to provide an adequate level of data protection by the European Commission, we use SCCs as an additional protection mechanism. These clauses are legally binding agreements between BIOHACKINGWIZ and the recipient of the data, ensuring that your personal information receives the same level of protection as it would within the EEA.
  • Data Transfer Agreements: In some cases, we may enter into additional data transfer agreements with our partners, service providers, or affiliates to ensure that they are compliant with applicable data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other relevant privacy regulations.
  • Data Minimization: Where possible, we minimize the amount of personal data transferred across borders by anonymizing or pseudonymizing it, reducing the risk associated with international transfers.
  • Privacy Shield (When Applicable): While the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield framework has been invalidated, we monitor ongoing developments and may participate in other frameworks that emerge to provide secure data transfer mechanisms. In the interim, we rely on SCCs and other lawful bases for international transfers.

Your Rights Regarding International Transfers


If you are located in the EEA, UK, or another region with data protection laws governing international data transfers, you have the right to:

  • Request Information: You can request more information about the safeguards we have in place to protect your personal data when it is transferred internationally.
  • Object to Transfer: You may object to the transfer of your personal data to a country outside of your jurisdiction if you believe that the transfer could put your data at risk.

To exercise these rights, or if you have any concerns about the transfer of your personal data, please contact us at support@BiohackingWIZ.com.
