Privacy Policy
Who We Are
Our website address is: https://biotech-insight.com.
Biotech Insight Solutions is the consulting practice of David Cheishvili, PhD, based in Montreal, Canada. This website provides information about consulting services in clinical laboratory consulting, molecular diagnostics, assay validation, clinical NGS, bioinformatics review, and related scientific services.
Information We Collect
We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide through this website, including your name, email address, organization, message content, and any other information you choose to submit through a contact form, consultation request, or appointment scheduling link.
We may also collect basic technical information through website tools and server logs, such as IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, referral source, approximate location, and general website usage activity.
Contact Forms and Consultation Requests
When you submit a contact form or consultation request, we use the information you provide to respond to your inquiry, evaluate whether we can provide relevant consulting services, schedule discussions, and maintain business records related to the inquiry.
Please do not include sensitive personal information, protected health information, patient identifiers, raw clinical data, genomic data, laboratory reports, or confidential laboratory information in general website forms.
Clinical, Laboratory, and Health-Related Information
Biotech Insight Solutions provides consulting services related to molecular diagnostics, clinical laboratory operations, assay validation, bioinformatics review, and related scientific or technical matters.
Visitors should not submit protected health information (PHI), patient-identifiable information, genetic data, raw sequencing files, laboratory reports, or other confidential clinical or business information through general website forms unless a separate written agreement is in place.
If a consulting engagement requires the exchange of clinical, laboratory, patient-related, genomic, or confidential business information, such information will be handled under appropriate written agreements. These may include confidentiality agreements, data processing terms, service agreements, or, where applicable, a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement.
Submitting information through this website does not create a consultant-client relationship, business relationship, or confidentiality obligation unless a separate written agreement has been executed.
Appointment Scheduling
If you use an appointment scheduling link, such as Google Calendar appointment scheduling, the scheduling provider may collect information necessary to book the meeting, including your name, email address, selected time, and any information you provide in the booking form.
Use of third-party scheduling tools is subject to the privacy policy and terms of the relevant provider.
Website Analytics
We may use website analytics tools, such as Google Site Kit or Google Analytics, to understand how visitors use this website. These tools may collect information such as pages visited, browser type, device type, approximate location, referral source, and general usage activity.
This information is used to improve website performance, understand visitor interest, and maintain the website. It is not used by us to directly identify individual visitors.
Cookies
This website may use cookies and similar technologies to support website functionality, analytics, security, spam prevention, and user experience.
If you leave a comment on the site, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are for convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when leaving another comment. These cookies may last for one year.
If you visit a login page, the website may set a temporary cookie to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
If you log in to the website, additional cookies may be used to save login information and screen display choices. Login cookies may last for several days, and screen options cookies may last longer. If you select “Remember Me,” your login may persist for a longer period. If you log out, login cookies will be removed.
Comments
If comments are enabled and visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address, also called a hash, may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine whether you use it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture may be visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media Uploads
If you upload images or files to the website, you should avoid uploading files that contain embedded location data, confidential information, personal data, clinical data, or patient-identifiable information.
Visitors to the website may be able to download and extract location data or metadata from uploaded files if such data are embedded in the file.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Pages or articles on this website may include embedded content, such as videos, images, articles, links, forms, or scheduling tools. Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if the visitor had visited the external website directly.
These third-party websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with their content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
How We Use Information
We may use information collected through this website to:
- respond to inquiries and consultation requests;

Who We Share Your Data With
We do not sell personal information.
We may share limited information with service providers that help operate the website, process forms, provide analytics, manage scheduling, maintain hosting, prevent spam, or support email communication.
We may also disclose information if required by law, regulation, legal process, contractual obligation, or to protect the security, rights, or legitimate interests of Biotech Insight Solutions.
How Long We Retain Information
If you submit a contact form or consultation request, we may retain the information for as long as needed to respond to your inquiry, maintain business records, manage potential or active consulting relationships, and comply with legal or administrative obligations.
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata may be retained indefinitely so that follow-up comments can be recognized and approved automatically instead of being held in a moderation queue.
For users who register on the website, if any, we may store the personal information they provide in their user profile. Users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except they may not be able to change their username. Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
Security
We take reasonable steps to protect information submitted through this website. However, no website, email system, contact form, or internet transmission is fully secure. For this reason, confidential clinical, genomic, patient-related, or proprietary business information should not be submitted through general website forms.
