Website Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 8, 2026

Chemia Discovery Inc. ("Chemia," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This policy explains what personal information we collect when you visit chemiadiscovery.com, why we collect it, where it is processed, how long we keep it, and how you can exercise your rights under Quebec's Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector (Law 25) and other applicable Canadian privacy laws.

Scope of this policy

This policy applies to visitors of the chemiadiscovery.com website. It does not cover the Elixir platform (our application). If you hold an Elixir account, the Elixir Privacy Policy governs your account information and the data you process on the platform. That policy is available separately on this site.

Who we are and how to reach us

Person responsible for the protection of personal information

Amirreza Ataei, President, is the person responsible for the protection of personal information at Chemia. You can reach him at info@chemiadiscovery.com for any question or request concerning your personal information.

What we collect and why

This website has no account system, no newsletter, and no comment forms. The blog is static reading material. The only ways personal information can reach us through this site are the following.

Information you send us by email. The site's contact option is an email link. If you write to us (for example at info@chemiadiscovery.com), we receive whatever information you choose to include, typically your name, email address, and the content of your message. We use it only to respond to you.

Analytics, only with your consent. If you accept analytics through the cookie banner, we use third-party analytics services, which may include page views, click and scroll behaviour, and general device and browser information. We use this information to understand how the site is used and to improve it. These services do not load until you opt in, and the providers may process this information outside Québec, including in the United States.

Fonts and other assets served through content delivery networks. Some fonts and static assets on this site are delivered by third-party content delivery networks (CDNs). When your browser requests those files, your IP address necessarily reaches those providers. This happens as soon as a page loads, before any consent choice, because it is technically necessary to display the site. We do not receive or store this information ourselves.

Booking a call through Calendly. The "Talk to a platform expert" and similar links open a booking page hosted by Calendly. If you book a call, Calendly collects the name, email address and any answers you give on that page, and shares them with us so that we can hold the call. We use them only to prepare for, hold and follow up on that call. Calendly processes this information under its own privacy policy, outside Québec, including in the United States.

The "Ask Elixir" box and example prompts. The "Try it yourself" box and the example prompts on this site open Ask Elixir, a separate Chemia application at elixir.chemiadiscovery.com, in a new tab, and pass it the question you chose or typed as part of the page address. This website does not process or keep that question. Ask Elixir handles it under its own terms and the Elixir Privacy Policy. Please do not type confidential information, or personal information about yourself or anyone else, into the box.

The MCP connector pages. The connector section of the home page and the documentation under /docs/ describe how to connect Chemia's MCP connector to an AI assistant. They collect nothing. Connecting the connector requires signing in to Elixir, and the Elixir Privacy Policy governs that connection and the information it handles.

We do not sell personal information, we do not use it for advertising, and we do not send marketing emails.

Cookies and consent

On your first visit, a consent banner lets you accept or decline non-essential analytics. Nothing analytics-related loads until you accept. If you decline, no analytics cookies are set and the site works normally.

If you accept, the analytics services described above may set cookies or similar identifiers in your browser to recognize your session.

You can withdraw your consent at any time:

by using the Manage Cookies link in the site footer, or
by clearing this site's data (cookies and local storage) in your browser, after which the consent banner will appear again on your next visit.

Withdrawing consent stops any further analytics collection from your browser.

Where your information is processed

Some of the service providers we use for this website (analytics, content delivery, and Calendly for booking calls) operate outside Québec, including in the United States. Personal information handled by those providers may therefore be communicated and stored outside Québec and may be subject to the laws of those jurisdictions. We limit what is shared to what each provider needs to perform its service.

How long we keep personal information

Email correspondence and call bookings are kept only as long as needed to handle your request or hold your call, and for reasonable business record keeping. Analytics data is collected only while your consent is active.

If you send a written request to info@chemiadiscovery.com asking us to delete your personal information, we will delete it within 30 days, and any residual copies held in backups will be purged within 90 days.

Confidentiality incidents

We maintain a register of confidentiality incidents involving personal information. If an incident presents a risk of serious injury, we will notify the Commission d'accès à l'information du Québec and the persons concerned, as required by law, and take reasonable measures to reduce the risk of harm.

Your rights

Under Law 25 and other applicable Canadian privacy law, you have the right to:

Access the personal information we hold about you.
Rectify personal information that is inaccurate, incomplete, or ambiguous.
Withdraw your consent to analytics at any time, as described in the Cookies and consent section.
Request de-indexation or cessation of dissemination of your personal information, where applicable.
Receive computerized personal information you provided to us in a structured, commonly used technological format (portability), or ask that it be communicated to another person or organization authorized by law to collect it.
File a complaint with the Commission d'accès à l'information du Québec (CAI) if you believe your rights have not been respected.

To exercise any of these rights, write to info@chemiadiscovery.com. We will respond within the time limits set by law.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as our website or practices change. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.

This policy is also available in French on this site (Politique de confidentialité du site Web).
