Privacy
Last updated 2 September 2026
The short version
- This site sets no cookies. There is no cookie banner because there is nothing to ask you about.
- No third-party tracking. No analytics services, no advertising networks, no social embeds, no external fonts. Every file this page loads comes from this domain.
- We never store your IP address.
- The only personal detail we hold is an email address — and only if you typed one into the form yourself.
Who we are
This site is operated by BIOS Genomics, which is the data controller for the information described here. For anything on this page, including a request to see or delete your data, write to questions@biosgenomics.com. We answer these ourselves; there is no third party to go through.
When you read a page
We count page views ourselves, on our own server, so that we know whether anyone is reading this. There is no analytics service involved and no script running in your browser to do it. For each page view we record:
| What | Example |
|---|---|
| The page you looked at | /v3.html |
| The date and time | 2 September 2026, 16:04 |
| The page that linked you here, if any | a search engine, or an email client |
| Whether you were on a phone or a computer | “mobile” or “desktop” |
| An approximate location | city, region and country |
| A short visitor code | a2f19c4b… (see below) |
What we do not record
We do not store your IP address, and we do not store the identifying string your browser sends about itself. Both are used for a moment while the page is being served and then discarded — neither is written down anywhere.
The visitor code
To tell one visitor reading three pages apart from three visitors reading one page each, we need something that is the same across your visit. Rather than give your browser a cookie, we calculate a code from your network address and browser, scrambled one way with a secret and with today's date, so it cannot be turned back into either. Because the date is part of it, the code changes at midnight: if you come back tomorrow we cannot tell it is you again. Nothing is stored on your device and nothing is read from it.
The location
Your approximate location is worked out on our own server, by looking your network address up in a copy of the DB-IP City Lite database that sits on the same machine. Your address is not sent to a geolocation service or anywhere else, and only the resulting place name is saved. It is genuinely approximate: it locates a network rather than a person, and a VPN will show wherever the VPN comes out.
If you sign up for early access
If you enter your email address in the form on this site, we store the address, the time you sent it, and which page you sent it from. Nothing else — we do not attach it to the page views above, and the two cannot be joined together.
Your address is stored on our own server. When it arrives, our own system emails us a short notification so that someone knows to expect you — that notification goes to us and nobody else, and it reaches us through Google Workspace, which handles our company email and therefore carries your address in transit.
Beyond that, your address has not been given to anyone. We have not yet chosen a service to send the launch announcement through; when we do, your address will be passed to that provider for the sole purpose of sending you that announcement, and we will say so here. We will not sell it, rent it, or pass it to anyone else, and we will only email you about the launch of BIOS Genomics.
Cookies
This site sets no cookies. It also uses no local storage, no session storage, and no other means of keeping anything on your device.
The one exception applies only to us: there is a password-protected area for our own team, and logging into it sets a single session cookie so the login is remembered. You will never be shown that login unless you go looking for it, and it plays no part in an ordinary visit.
Why we are allowed to hold this
| Information | Basis |
|---|---|
| Page views | Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) — knowing whether the site is being read at all. We have kept the data to the minimum that answers that question, it identifies nobody directly, and it is never combined with anything else or shared. |
| Your email address | Consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) — you gave it by submitting the form. You can withdraw it at any time, and doing so is as easy as giving it was. |
How long we keep it
- Page views: 13 months, then deleted automatically.
- Your email address: until you ask us to remove it, or until we have launched and you have had the announcement you signed up for.
- Web server logs kept for security, which do contain IP addresses: 14 days, then deleted automatically.
Who else sees any of this
Nobody sees your page views but us. They stay on a server we control. We do not use an analytics provider, an advertising network, a customer data platform, or an embedded widget from another company, and there is no third-party code on this page at all.
Your email address, if you gave us one, reaches two places besides our own server: Google Workspace, which carries the notification that tells us you signed up, and — once we have chosen one, which we have not yet — the provider that will send the launch announcement. Both act on our instructions only.
Your rights
If you are in the UK or the European Economic Area you have the right to ask us for a copy of your personal data, to have it corrected or deleted, to restrict or object to how we use it, and to receive it in a portable form. Where we rely on your consent you can withdraw it at any time, which does not affect anything done before you did. You also have the right to complain to your national data protection authority.
To exercise any of these, email questions@biosgenomics.com. For your email address we can act on any of them straight away.
One honest limit: for page views we usually cannot, because we have nothing that ties those records to you. The visitor code is one-way and changes daily by design, so we have no way to find the rows that were yours — the same property that protects your privacy prevents us from picking your data out of it. In that situation the law does not require us to collect more information about you simply so that we can identify you later, and we would rather not.
Changes to this notice
If we change how any of this works — most likely when we choose an email provider — we will update this page and change the date at the top.
