Privacy Policy

1. Overview

Sekbio is a business-to-business (B2B) IVD antibody manufacturer and rapid test OEM supplier. Our website is directed at professionals in the in vitro diagnostics (IVD), pharmaceutical, and life sciences industries — not at general consumers or minors.

We keep our data practices simple and limited to what is strictly necessary to respond to your business enquiries and maintain our professional relationship with you.

2. Data Controller

The data controller responsible for your personal data is:

For visitors in the European Economic Area (EEA), our authorized EU Representative for product compliance purposes is MedUnion S.L., Barcelona, Spain. For data protection enquiries, please contact us directly at info@sekbio.com.

3. Data We Collect

We collect only the personal data you voluntarily provide when you contact us. We do not collect sensitive personal data, financial information, or data from minors.

3.1 Information you provide directly

When you submit a contact form, send an email, or request a quote, we may collect:

3.2 Data collected automatically

When you visit our website, our servers and analytics tools may automatically collect:

• IP address (anonymized where possible)
• Browser type and version
• Pages visited and time spent on each page
• Referring URL (how you found our website)
• Device type (desktop, tablet, mobile)

This data is collected via Google Analytics 4 (GA4) and is used exclusively for website performance analysis. See Section 8 for details.

4. How We Use Your Data

We use the personal data you provide solely for the following purposes:

• Responding to your enquiry — replying to questions about our products, services, pricing, or OEM capabilities.
• Sending requested materials — datasheets, IFUs, technical specifications, or quotations you have asked for.
• Following up on business opportunities — where you have initiated contact or expressed interest in a commercial relationship, we may follow up by email or phone.
• Managing our business relationship — processing orders, issuing invoices, and fulfilling contractual obligations if you become a customer.
• Improving our website — analyzing aggregated, anonymized usage data to improve content and navigation.

5. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

If you are located in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, our legal basis for processing your personal data is:

• Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) — responding to business enquiries you have initiated and maintaining our professional correspondence. Our legitimate interest is balanced against your right to privacy; since you have actively contacted us in a B2B context, we consider this processing proportionate.
• Performance of a contract (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR) — processing necessary to fulfill an order or service agreement if you become a Sekbio customer.
• Consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) — where we seek to contact you for purposes beyond your initial enquiry, we will ask for your explicit consent first.

6. Data Sharing — We Do Not Sell Your Data

We may share your data only in the following limited circumstances:

• Internal team members — your enquiry may be shared with the relevant Sekbio sales or technical team member who can best assist you.
• Service providers acting on our behalf — we use third-party tools (e.g., email hosting, CRM software, Google Analytics) that may process data on our behalf under strict data processing agreements. These providers are not permitted to use your data for their own purposes.
• Legal obligation — we may disclose your data if required to do so by law or in response to a valid legal request from public authorities.
• Business transfer — in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of our business, personal data may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to equivalent privacy protections.

International Transfers

Sekbio is headquartered in China. If you are in the EEA, your data will be transferred to and processed in China. We implement appropriate safeguards for such transfers in accordance with GDPR requirements (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses where applicable). Contact us at info@sekbio.com for more details on our transfer mechanisms.

7. Data Retention

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected:

• Enquiries that do not lead to a business relationship — up to 2 years from the date of your last contact, after which data is deleted or anonymized.
• Active customer records — for the duration of the business relationship plus 7 years, in compliance with applicable accounting and tax record-keeping requirements.
• Website analytics data — aggregated and anonymized data is retained for up to 26 months per Google Analytics 4 default settings.

You may request early deletion of your personal data at any time. See Section 9 for how to exercise this right.

8. Cookies & Analytics

Our website uses the following types of cookies:

8.1 Essential cookies

Required for the website to function correctly (e.g., navigation, security). These cannot be disabled. No personal data is stored in these cookies.

8.2 Analytics cookies — Google Analytics 4 (GA4)

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors interact with our website. GA4 collects anonymized usage data (pages viewed, session duration, device type). IP anonymization is enabled. The data is processed by Google LLC under a data processing agreement.

• Analytics cookies are set only after you consent (where required by law).
• You can opt out at any time by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

8.3 No advertising or tracking cookies

We do not use advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, social media tracking cookies, or third-party behavioral tracking cookies on this website.

• Right to object — object to processing based on our legitimate interests.

If you are in the EEA and believe we have not handled your data in accordance with GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority.

10. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, loss, alteration, or disclosure, including:

• HTTPS encryption for all data transmitted via our website
