PRIVACY POLICY
Effective Date: August 7, 2026
Version: 1.0
Sage Fitzpatrick Research ("SAGE", “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect personal information when you visit https://www.sagepep.com (the “Website”), contact us, or purchase products from us.
By using the Website or submitting personal information to us, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
1. SCOPE OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY
This Privacy Policy applies to personal information collected through the Website, our contact form, customer communications, and purchases made through our online store. This Privacy Policy does not apply to third-party websites, payment services, or other services that may be linked from the Website and that have their own privacy policies.
2. PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT
Depending on how you interact with the Website, we may collect the following categories of personal information:
a. Contact information, including your name, email address, and the contents of messages you submit through our contact form or send to our support email;
b. Order and transaction information, including products ordered, order number, purchase date, payment status, transaction identifiers, order total, and customer communications regarding an order;
c. Shipping information, including recipient name and shipping address, and any delivery-related information you choose to provide;
d. Payment-related information. Payments are processed through PayPal and the payment methods it makes available. SAGE does not intentionally collect or store full payment-card numbers. We may receive limited transaction-related information from PayPal, such as payment status, transaction identifiers, and details needed to process, fulfill, reconcile, refund, or address an order;
e. Device and technical information that may be automatically generated when you use the Website, such as IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, pages or features accessed, referring URL, and approximate usage information; and
f. Information stored locally in your browser. The Website may use necessary browser storage technologies, including local storage, to remember whether you completed the Website’s age and research-use acknowledgment.
Please do not send sensitive personal information through the Website’s contact form or email unless it is reasonably necessary for your request.
3. HOW WE USE PERSONAL INFORMATION
We may use personal information to:
a. Process, review, fulfill, ship, refund, and otherwise administer orders;
b. Communicate with you regarding an order, shipping, customer-service request, Website inquiry, policy update, or transaction;
c. Maintain order, accounting, tax, fraud-prevention, security, and legal compliance records;
d. Operate, secure, troubleshoot, improve, and protect the Website and our business;
e. Enforce our Research Use Terms & Purchase Agreement, other policies, and applicable law; and
f. Respond to lawful requests, protect our rights, and resolve disputes.
We do not use personal information to send promotional marketing emails unless you separately choose to receive them.
4. HOW WE DISCLOSE PERSONAL INFORMATION
SAGE does not sell personal information and does not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising or targeted advertising.
We may disclose personal information only as reasonably necessary to operate our business, including to the following categories of service providers:
a. Payment providers, including PayPal, to process payments, address payment issues, process refunds, and help prevent fraud;
b. Shipping providers, currently the United States Postal Service (“USPS”), to ship orders, provide delivery-related services, and address shipping issues;
c. Website-hosting, e-commerce-platform, technology, and security providers that help us operate and secure the Website and store;
d. Professional advisers, such as accountants, attorneys, insurers, or other advisers, when reasonably necessary for business, tax, accounting, legal, or compliance purposes; and
e. Government authorities, law enforcement, courts, regulators, or other parties where required by law or where reasonably necessary to protect the rights, safety, property, or security of SAGE, our customers, or others.
We may also disclose information in connection with a proposed or actual sale, transfer, reorganization, financing, or similar transaction involving all or part of the business, subject to applicable law.
5. COOKIES, LOCAL STORAGE, AND TRACKING
We do not intentionally use Google Analytics, advertising pixels, session-recording tools, or other behavioral advertising technologies on the Website.
The Website may use necessary cookies or browser storage technologies needed for core Website and store functionality, security, fraud prevention, checkout functionality, and to remember your age and research-use acknowledgment.
PayPal and other service providers may use their own cookies, browser storage, or similar technologies when you interact directly with their services. Their data practices are governed by their own privacy notices and policies.
Because we do not operate behavioral advertising or cross-site tracking technologies, SAGE does not currently respond to browser “Do Not Track” signals. If our practices change, we will update this Privacy Policy.
6. PAYMENT PROCESSING
Payment transactions are handled by PayPal and the payment methods it makes available. When you submit payment information, that information is provided directly to the applicable payment provider. SAGE does not control the payment provider’s privacy or security practices. Please review PayPal’s privacy notice for information about its data practices.
7. DATA RETENTION
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to:
a. Fulfill orders and provide customer support;
b. Maintain tax, accounting, payment, shipping, fraud-prevention, and business records;
c. Comply with legal obligations;
d. Enforce agreements and policies; and
e. Resolve disputes.
The appropriate retention period depends on the type of information, the reason it was collected, legal obligations, and legitimate business needs. We may retain information for longer where required or permitted by law.
8. SECURITY
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information. However, no internet transmission, online storage system, or security method is completely secure. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted to or through the Website.
9. UNITED STATES-ONLY SALES AND USERS
SAGE currently sells and ships products only within the United States. The Website is intended for users located in the United States. If you access the Website from outside the United States, you understand that your information may be processed in the United States.
