Privacy Policy

Effective Date: September 1, 2025

At 3F Waste Recovery and 3F Pharma (collectively referred to as “3F,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), we are committed to protecting the privacy and confidentiality of our stakeholders, including fish harvesters, agricultural partners, researchers, and B2B clients. This policy outlines how we handle personal and proprietary information across our websites (3fpharma.com and 3fwasterecovery.ca) and our biotechnology services.

1. Information We Collect

Due to our specialized focus on high-purity marine collagen and circular waste recovery, we collect information that falls into three primary categories:

Contact and Inquiry Data: Names, email addresses, and professional affiliations provided when you request free samples (e.g., NL Cod Skin Pet Treats or Pharma-grade collagen samples), sign up for newsletters, or use our contact forms.
B2B & R&D Information: Technical specifications, project requirements, and proprietary research goals provided by technology owners, medical device manufacturers, or pharmaceutical researchers seeking custom collagen formulations.
Supply Chain Data: Information from fishery and farm partners regarding feedstock origin and volume for the purpose of maintaining our sustainability and traceability standards.
Automated Data: IP addresses, browser types, and usage patterns collected via cookies to optimize our “Lean & Green” digital experience.

2. How We Use Your Information

We align our data usage with our core mission of “Doing Good is Good Business”:

Product Fulfillment: To process and deliver medical-grade collagen protein, peptides, or sustainable pet treats.
Technical Consultation: To provide project management and consulting for upcycling by-products or licensing clean biotechnologies.
Supply Chain Integrity: To verify the sustainability and local sourcing of our Atlantic Cod, sheep wool, and mussel shell feedstocks.
R&D Collaboration: To facilitate pilot projects and R&D grants in partnership with academia and government agencies.

3. Confidentiality of Scientific and Technical Data

Given the pre-commercial and proprietary nature of our work in medical implants, capsulation, and regenerative tissues, we maintain rigorous standards for technical data. Any research goals or custom specs shared via 3F Pharma are treated as highly confidential and are only accessed by our bioengineering and project management teams.

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal data. We only share limited information with:

Strategic Partners: Such as Marine Scientific Ltd. or Zero Waste Farms Ltd., when necessary to fulfill regional feedstock or supply chain requirements.
Regulatory & Lending Agencies: When necessary for de-risking pilot projects through federal or provincial grant applications (e.g., ACOA or NL government lenders).
Service Providers: Third-party logistics or secure payment processors required to complete B2B/B2C transactions.

5. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data. Information regarding high-purity collagen extractions and “Lean & Green” optimization strategies is protected to safeguard our intellectual property and your proprietary research interests.

6. Your Rights and Choices

Consistent with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), you have the right to:

Access the personal information we hold about you.
Request corrections to inaccurate data.
Withdraw consent for marketing communications or sample follow-ups.
Inquire about our data retention periods for research partnerships.
