Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 2026
Overview
CDMO Signal is a free, open-access intelligence platform. No account or registration is required. We collect minimal data and do not track you.
Data We Collect
IP addresses — Collected in-memory for rate limiting only (to prevent abuse of the AI search). IP addresses are not stored to disk and are cleared automatically when the server restarts.
Search queries — When you use the AI search, your query is sent to Anthropic's Claude API for processing alongside our CDMO database context. We log search queries, timestamps, AI-classified intent categories, and which results were clicked to improve our search quality. An anonymized hash of your IP address (not the IP itself) is stored for aggregate usage analysis. No personally identifiable information is linked to search logs unless you are signed in. Anthropic does not use API inputs to train their models. See Anthropic's privacy policy for details.
Web search — The AI search may perform web searches to supplement database results. When this happens, search terms related to CDMOs may be processed by web search infrastructure. No personal data is included in these searches.
Email Collection
PDF exports — When you export a PDF report of your search results, we ask for your work email address. We use it to:
- Deliver a copy of the PDF to your email
- Notify you when new data is available for CDMOs you searched
We do not sell or share your email with third parties. We do not use it for advertising. Every email includes an unsubscribe link. To request deletion of your data, contact hello@cdmosignal.com.
Data We Do Not Collect
No payment or financial information (all content is free)
No third-party usage analytics or behavioral tracking (we use only first-party search analytics to improve results)
No advertising identifiers
Cookies & Local Storage
We use essential cookies for basic site functionality. We store your email in browser local storage to pre-fill it on future exports, and an anonymous visitor ID to track usage patterns. We do not use third-party tracking cookies or advertising cookies. You can clear this data at any time in your browser settings.
Third-Party Services
Anthropic (Claude AI) — Powers the AI search. Your search queries and CDMO database context are sent to Anthropic for processing. Anthropic does not train on API inputs.
CDMO Intelligence Data
All CDMO data displayed on this platform comes from publicly available sources: the FDA Data Dashboard, ClinicalTrials.gov, SEC EDGAR, and public press monitoring. No personally identifiable information is collected from these sources. This data is aggregated and scored to provide manufacturing intelligence.
Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or share your data with third parties. The only external data transmission is search queries sent to Anthropic's API for AI processing, as described above.
