Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 9, 2026

Overview

LabWise ("we", "our", or "us") is a chemical inventory management platform for laboratories. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use the LabWise mobile app and web application (collectively, the "Service").

Information We Collect

Account Information

When you create an account, we collect your email address, name, and a password (or authentication credentials if you sign in with Google). We also collect lab profile details you provide, including PI name, building code, lab designation, and contact information.

Inventory Data

We store the chemical inventory data you enter or scan, including chemical names, CAS numbers, storage locations, quantities, vendor information, expiration dates, and any comments you add.

Protocol Data

If you use the Protocol Checker feature, we store the protocol documents or text you upload for AI-powered safety analysis.

Camera and Photos

The mobile app can use your device camera to scan chemical labels. Images are processed on-device using Apple's built-in AI capabilities. Label images are not transmitted to our servers unless you explicitly save them with a chemical entry.

Automatically Collected Data

We collect standard server logs (IP address, request timestamps, browser/device type) to operate and secure the Service.

How We Use Your Information

  • To provide and maintain the Service, including inventory tracking, safety alerts, and protocol analysis
  • To authenticate your account and maintain your session
  • To pre-fill form fields with your lab profile defaults
  • To send safety alerts about expiring or low-stock chemicals
  • To improve and secure the Service

Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information or inventory data with third parties. Your data may be disclosed only in the following circumstances:

  • With your consent
  • To comply with legal obligations or law enforcement requests
  • To protect the rights, safety, or property of LabWise or its users

Third-Party Services

The Service integrates with the following third-party services:

  • Google OAuth — if you choose to sign in with Google, your authentication is handled by Google's OAuth service, subject to Google's Privacy Policy.
  • PubChem — when scanning chemicals, we may query PubChem's public API to look up chemical properties by CAS number. Only the CAS number is sent; no personal data is shared.

Data Security

We use industry-standard security measures to protect your data, including HTTPS encryption for all data in transit, secure session management with HTTP-only cookies, and rate limiting on authentication and API endpoints.

Data Retention and Deletion

Your data is retained for as long as your account is active. You may delete individual chemical entries or protocol records at any time. To request full account and data deletion, contact us at the email address below.

Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can delete it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the updated policy on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.
