Molecular Science

for Industrial and Environmental Research


 

Welcome to EUMBT, a non-commercial scientific research and communication initiative focused on molecular biotechnology, toxicology, and their industrial and environmental research applications. The Website provides a restricted point of access for authorized scientific collaborators and supports responsible research communication, knowledge exchange, and scientific coordination.
 

RESEARCH FOCUS

​

EUMBT supports scientific communication and research-oriented knowledge exchange in areas such as:

• Molecular Biotechnology
• Molecular Toxicology
• Industrial Biotechnology
• Environmental Toxicology
• Analytical and Experimental Methods
• Risk-Oriented Scientific Discussion
• Research Documentation and Scientific Coordination

These areas are presented as fields of scientific interest and communication, not as commercial services, clinical services, diagnostic services, laboratory testing services, certification, accreditation, or regulated professional activities.

​

MISSION

​

The mission of EUMBT is to support responsible molecular science by encouraging structured scientific communication, careful interpretation of research information, and transparent collaboration between authorized scientific participants.

EUMBT aims to promote high standards of scientific dialogue, documentation, attribution, and ethical awareness in molecular biotechnology and toxicology-related research contexts.

​

ACCESS-RESTRICTED RESEARCH AREA

​

Certain parts of the Website are access-restricted and intended only for authorized scientific collaborators who have been provided access credentials.

Restricted access is used to support scientific coordination and controlled communication between collaborators. It does not create membership, certification, accreditation, professional verification, regulatory approval, or authorization to conduct any regulated activity.

​

SCIENTIFIC COMMUNICATION AND COLLABORATION

​

EUMBT encourages clear, responsible, and well-documented scientific communication. Collaborative discussions may include research concepts, scientific methods, educational materials, environmental or industrial research topics, and responsible interpretation of molecular science information.

Participants are expected to respect confidentiality, attribution, applicable laws, institutional policies, ethical boundaries, and the limits of their own professional roles.

​

The Data Controller for Personal Data processed in connection with this Website is:

Data Controller: Dr. Isaac Durant

Capacity: Website administrator acting in his individual capacity on behalf of the informal, voluntary, and non-commercial EUMBT scientific initiative

Privacy contact email: info@eumbt.com

Dr. Isaac Durant determines the purposes and essential means of processing Personal Data relating to the hosting, technical operation, security, maintenance, password-protected access, cookie-preference management, communications, and general administration of this Website. EUMBT is an informal scientific initiative and is not presented through this Website as a separate incorporated legal entity, commercial service provider, laboratory, clinical provider, diagnostic provider, certification body, accreditation body, notified body, regulatory authority, or professional licensing organization. The designation of Dr. Isaac Durant as Data Controller relates solely to the operation and administration of this Website. Separate research collaborations, institutional activities, authorship arrangements, data-sharing activities, or other offline projects may involve different controllers and must be governed by separate written arrangements where applicable. Privacy questions and requests concerning Personal Data may be submitted to info@eumbt.com.


2) Minimal-Data Website Design (What We Do Not Do)

We do not use this technical data to market to you, build visitor profiles, or conduct behavioral tracking.
3.2 Cookie and Preference Data (where applicable)
If a cookie banner / privacy center is enabled, the Website and/or the hosting platform may process:

8) Hosting Provider, Recipients, and Sharing


The Website is hosted on Wix Online Platforms Limited. For information on Wix’s processing and sub-processors, please consult Wix’s privacy documentation.
8.1 Wix roles (processor and/or independent controller)
Depending on the specific activity and configuration:
- Wix may process certain data as a processor on behalf of website operators for infrastructure services (hosting, delivery, security), and/or
- Wix may process certain limited technical data as an independent controller for purposes such as security, fraud prevention, service integrity, diagnostics, and compliance with legal obligations.
8.2 Recipients
We do not share visitor data for marketing or advertising.
Personal Data may be processed by:
- Wix and its authorized sub-processors strictly for hosting, delivery, security, and infrastructure purposes.
- Professional advisors (e.g., legal/IT/security) only where necessary for compliance, security, or legal defense, and only to the extent required.
- Authorities, where required by law or valid legal process.

9) International Transfers


Because hosting and security infrastructure may be distributed, Personal Data may be processed inside or outside the EU/EEA, depending on the hosting provider’s service delivery and security needs.
Where transfers outside the EU/EEA occur and no adequacy decision applies, appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) may be used by the hosting provider and/or relevant parties, along with supplementary measures where required.

10) Data Retention


We do not maintain user accounts or a public visitor database.
- Technical logs/security data (where applicable): retained for limited periods necessary for security, abuse prevention, troubleshooting, and legal compliance, consistent with operational requirements and hosting practices.
- Email communications: retained only as long as reasonably necessary to respond to your inquiry and administer correspondence and then deleted or archived according to reasonable administrative needs and applicable limitation periods for legal claims/defense.
Where feasible, we delete or anonymize data when it is no longer necessary.

11) Security


We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect Personal Data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized access, or disclosure, taking into account the nature of processing and risk.
No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. We apply reasonable safeguards to reduce risk.

12) Your Rights (GDPR)


Subject to applicable law and circumstances, you may have the right to:
- access,
- rectification,
- erasure,
- restriction,
- objection,
- data portability (where applicable),
and the right to withdraw consent at any time (where processing is based on consent).
Practical limitations (GDPR Article 11)
Because we do not operate accounts and generally process limited technical data, we may not be in a position to identify you from logs alone. In such cases, GDPR Article 11 may apply. We will still assist to the extent reasonably possible and may request limited additional information to locate relevant records (e.g., approximate date/time of visit and browser/device details). To exercise rights, contact: info@eumbt.com.

13) Right to Lodge a Complaint

​

If you believe that Personal Data relating to you has been processed in breach of applicable data-protection law, you may lodge a complaint with a competent supervisory authority. Where the GDPR applies, you may in particular contact the supervisory authority in the EU or EEA Member State of your habitual residence, your place of work, or the place where the alleged infringement occurred. You may contact us first at info@eumbt.com so that we may examine and, where possible, resolve your concern. Contacting us first is optional and does not affect your right to contact a supervisory authority directly.


14) Children


The Website is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect Personal Data from minors.

15) External Links


The Website may contain academic references and links to third-party websites. We do not control third-party content or privacy practices. Please review third-party privacy notices before providing Personal Data to them.
