Privacy Policy & AI Transparency Disclosure
This Privacy & Data Protection Policy details how BioScienceDesk (a B2B life sciences and laboratory media division of Jayanti Cybernetics) collects, secures, and handles personal data, alongside our binding transparency commitments regarding the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in scientific media.
Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) & Editorial Transparency
In alignment with international scientific publishing ethics and ICMJE research integrity standards, BioScienceDesk maintains an explicit, transparent policy regarding artificial intelligence:
We employ specialized machine learning and algorithmic tools to assist our editorial staff with large-scale scientific literature discovery, PubMed/NCBI reference cross-checks, syntax validation, technical LaTeX formula verification, and semantic search indexing.
AI technologies are never granted autonomous publishing authority on BioScienceDesk. Every wet-lab troubleshooting protocol, limit of detection (LoD) calculation, regulatory CDMO evaluation, and clinical benchmark is authored, peer-reviewed, and verified by human life science practitioners and our Scientific Advisory Board (Rahul Kumar, Dr. S Paul, Swatilina Das).
Generative AI tools cannot meet authorship criteria and are never credited as authors or co-authors. Where personal data is processed using AI technologies (e.g. search indexing or inquiry sorting), strict privacy safeguards prevent training of public third-party models on proprietary user inquiries.
Information We Collect & Lawful Basis
We collect personal information either directly from your interactions or automatically through standard web protocols under legitimate interest and contractual performance:
- Direct Submissions: Name, professional institutional affiliation, corporate email address, and LinkedIn profile URLs submitted via guest contributor applications, newsletter forms, or editorial inquiries.
- Automated Technical Identifiers: IP addresses (anonymized for analytics), browser user-agent, operating system, referring URL, and pages visited to ensure DDoS protection, CDN edge routing, and aggregate traffic benchmarking.
- Commercial Inquiries: Contact details provided by biotech sponsors, CDMO procurement leads, and equipment vendors for advertising, sponsored whitepapers, or media kits.
