Privacy notice for the inquiry form
What happens to the information you send through the inquiry form on this website.
What the form collects
- Your name and your email address.
- Your organization, if you choose to add it. The field is optional.
- The service you select and the timeline you choose, if you set them. Both are optional; with no service selected, the inquiry reaches me as a general inquiry.
- Your message: the short description of your question or project.
That is all you type. There is no file upload and no account. The page also has a hidden field that ordinary people never see or fill in; automated spam programs often do, which helps filter them out. The form also sends the result of the security check described below.
Please send nonconfidential information only
Do not put sequences, unpublished data, internal program names or IDs, or anything covered by an NDA in the form. If we agree to work together, we agree on information sharing and any use of AI tools, and put confidentiality terms in place, before you send project materials. The note beneath the message box is a reminder, not a filter: the form cannot tell what is confidential, so please do not type it.
How your message travels
When you press Send, your browser sends the form to Formspree (formspree.io), a third-party form service. Formspree forwards it to my email, vibhachauhan@biotecmaven.com, and may also keep a copy in my Formspree account. Formspree’s handling of that data is described in its privacy policy.
How I use it
To read your message, reply to you, decide whether and how I can help, and, if we go ahead, agree on scope and a fixed price. I do not sell it and I do not use it for advertising.
Keeping and deleting your inquiry
Your inquiry reaches me by email, and a copy is held in my Formspree account. You can email me at any time to ask that your inquiry be deleted. I can delete it from my email and from my Formspree dashboard.
I do not state a fixed retention period, and I cannot promise that every copy is removed from Formspree’s own systems, including any backups it keeps. What Formspree does with the data it holds is described in its privacy policy.
Security check
Before your message is sent, the form shows a security check provided by Cloudflare (Turnstile). It is there to tell people apart from automated programs, so that genuine inquiries reach me and spam does not.
To do that, Cloudflare receives your IP address, the User-Agent your browser reports, a fingerprint of your browser’s encrypted connection, and the identifier of this website’s check. Cloudflare states that it cannot directly identify individuals from this information, and that it is used to detect automated programs rather than to profile, track or advertise to you. The check does not set a cookie. Cloudflare’s handling of it is described in its Turnstile Privacy Addendum.
If the check does not appear, or cannot be completed, the form cannot send your message. You can email me directly at vibhachauhan@biotecmaven.com instead.
What this notice does not cover
It covers only the inquiry form. It does not describe the rest of the website (for example, pages load their fonts from Google Fonts) or messages you send me directly by email.
