Privacy Policy
Last Updated: January 12, 2026
Welcome to Fidelis Bio. We provide AI-driven antibody affinity maturation and optimization services through our proprietary platforms. We understand that in drug discovery, your data is your most valuable asset. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard both your personal information and your proprietary scientific data when you visit our website or use our services. By accessing our website or uploading data to our platform, you consent to the data practices described in this policy.
Information We Collect
We collect two distinct categories of information: Personal Information (to manage your account) and Scientific Data (to execute your project).
A. Personal Information
When you request a consultation, create an account, or contact us, we may collect:
-
Identity Data: Name, job title, and company name.
-
Contact Data: Business email address and phone number.
-
Technical Data: IP address, browser type, and usage data regarding how you interact with our website (collected via cookies).
B. Scientific & Proprietary Data
To provide our optimization services, you may upload specific technical data, including but not limited to:
-
Reference Antibody Sequences: Amino acid sequences of your lead candidates.
-
Target Information: Names of antigens or antigen proteins (optional).
-
Experimental Outputs: Phage display datasets, including "left-over" or non-binding phage pool data for analysis.
Important Note on Protected Health Information (PHI): Our services are strictly for preclinical research and discovery. We do not collect, process, or store Protected Health Information (PHI) subject to HIPAA. Please do not upload any patient-identifiable human data to our platform.
How We Use Your Information
A. For Service Delivery
We use your Scientific Data exclusively to:
-
Execute our iPhage™ AI algorithms to predict optimized sequences.
-
Facilitate the synthesis and expression of variants for validation.
-
Generate affinity ranking and comparative analysis reports (e.g., BLI/ELISA data).
B. For AI Model Integrity
-
We do not use your proprietary sequences to train our public or base models.
-
Our iPhage™ engine is pre-trained on Abmap, our proprietary database of over 1 billion ($10^$9) antibody sequences.
-
Your data is used solely to generate results for your specific project.
C. For Business Operations
We use your Personal Information to:
-
Manage project timelines and deliverables.
-
Communicate with you regarding results, invoices, and service updates.
-
Improve our website functionality.
Data Sharing and Disclosure
Fidelis Bio operates a "Virtual Lab" model. This means we combine internal AI processing with a network of trusted partners for physical experimentation.
-
Wet-Lab Partners: To validate your sequences, we may share specific, anonymized sequence data with our audited wet-lab partners for the sole purpose of synthesis, expression, and binding assays. These partners are bound by strict Confidentiality Agreements (CDAs) and are prohibited from retaining your data.
-
Service Providers: We may share data with secure cloud hosting providers that facilitate our infrastructure.
-
Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights.
We do not sell your Personal Information or Scientific Data to third parties.
Intellectual Property & Confidentiality
We acknowledge that the Scientific Data you upload represents potentially patentable Intellectual Property (IP).
-
Ownership: You retain full ownership of the reference sequences you upload and the optimized sequences we deliver.
-
Non-Use: We do not claim any ownership rights over the results generated from your data.
-
Security: Your data is processed in a secure, industry-standard cloud environment.
Data Retention and Deletion
-
Retention: We retain your project data for the duration of the service and a standard archive period to allow for follow-up analysis or re-runs.
-
Deletion Requests: You have the "Right to be Forgotten." Upon your specific request, we will permanently delete your uploaded Scientific Data and generated results from our servers. Please contact us to initiate a deletion request.
Cookies and Tracking
We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience and analyze website traffic. You can choose to disable cookies through your browser settings, though this may affect specific functionalities of the website.
Updates to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be indicated by an updated "Revised" date and will be effective as soon as it is accessible.
