Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

Athlete Longevity Organization is a research and translation body for athletic longevity science, with operating presence in Zurich, Boston, and Singapore. References to "we" and "our" mean the Organization and its operating affiliates. You can reach our Data Protection contact at our contact form.

2. Information we collect

We collect only the data that is needed to provide our research, editorial, and consulting services. Categories include:

• Contact information — name, email address, organization, role — provided when you submit a form, subscribe to our newsletter, or correspond with us.
• Engagement data — pages viewed, time on page, referring source — collected through analytics that respect Do Not Track and equivalent signals.
• Professional content — information you choose to share in a consulting or research engagement, including athlete profiles, training data, and biomarker results, where you are the appropriate authority to share it.
• Technical data — IP address, browser type, device type — collected automatically for security and infrastructure purposes.

We do not collect biometric data, genetic data, or any health information from athletes directly through this website. Sensitive data exchanged in a clinical engagement is governed by a separate Data Processing Agreement with that organization.

3. How we use information

We use the information described above to:

• Respond to research, consulting, and partnership enquiries
• Deliver newsletters, editorial content, and protocol updates that you have requested
• Improve the structure, quality, and accessibility of our public research
• Protect the integrity and security of our systems and the people who use them
• Meet our legal, professional, and regulatory obligations

We do not sell personal information. We do not share it with advertisers. We do not use it to train commercial language models.

4. Legal bases for processing

We process personal information on one or more of the following bases: your consent (which you can withdraw at any time), the performance of a contract with you or your organization, our legitimate interest in operating and improving our research work, and our legal obligations.

5. Who we share information with

We share information only with parties who help us deliver our work, and only to the extent necessary. These include technology providers for hosting, email delivery, and analytics; professional advisors such as auditors and counsel; and partner research institutions under written agreement. Each is bound by confidentiality and appropriate data-protection obligations.

We may disclose information when required by law, when necessary to protect the safety of an athlete or other person, or in the context of a corporate transaction subject to the same confidentiality protections.

6. International transfers

We operate across the European Union, the United States, and Singapore. Where personal information is transferred between these regions, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses, adequacy decisions, or equivalent safeguards consistent with GDPR, CCPA, and PDPA frameworks.

7. Retention

We retain personal information for as long as it is needed to fulfill the purposes set out above, and for any period required by law or by legitimate professional record-keeping. Newsletter subscriptions are retained until you unsubscribe. Enquiry data is retained for up to 24 months after the last interaction. Engagement records under a Data Processing Agreement are retained per that agreement.

8. Your rights

Subject to applicable law, you have rights over your personal information, including:

• The right to access the information we hold about you
• The right to correct inaccurate information
• The right to delete information, subject to legal and contractual obligations
• The right to object to processing or to request restriction
• The right to data portability where applicable
• The right to withdraw consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing

To exercise any of these rights, write to our contact form. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law, and at most within 30 days.

9. Security

We apply administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information we hold. These include encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access controls, regular security reviews, and an incident-response process. No system is perfectly secure; we commit to notifying affected individuals and authorities promptly in the event of a breach, in line with applicable law.

10. Children's data

Our website is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors through this site. Athlete data shared in a clinical engagement involving a youth athlete is handled under the relevant guardian-authorized agreement.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the Effective date at the top of the page and, where appropriate, notify subscribers by email. The current version is always available at this URL.

12. Contact

Questions, requests, and complaints can be directed to our contact form. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
