Privacy Policy & Formulation IP Confidentiality
Effective Date: January 1, 2026 • Last Reviewed: October 2026.
Micelle Nutraceuticals Labs (MNL) is committed to protecting your corporate proprietary data, formulation intellectual property, and business confidentiality.
1. Overview & Scope
This Privacy Policy describes how Micelle Nutraceuticals Labs (“MNL”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, protects, and discloses information gathered through our website (micellecosmeticslabs.com), our B2B quoting engine, formulation intake forms, and contract manufacturing client agreements.
As a specialized B2B Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO) operating in Carrollton and Van Alstyne, Texas, our relationship with our clients is built on trust, transparency, and absolute proprietary protection.
2. Formulation Intellectual Property & Mutual NDA Protection
All custom recipes, proprietary ingredient matrices, bill of materials (BOM), and pilot bench samples commissioned by our clients remain 100% the exclusive intellectual property of the client upon fulfillment of commercial terms.
We execute formal mutual Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) prior to receiving proprietary recipes. Under our confidentiality covenants:
- MNL will never disclose, license, or publish your custom ingredient ratios to any competitor or third party.
- MNL does not manufacture competing proprietary house brands using our clients' custom formulation designs.
- Production engineers, bench chemists, and lab technicians are bound by legally enforceable employee non-disclosure agreements.
3. Information We Collect
We collect information necessary to evaluate commercial manufacturing feasibility, formulate prototypes, and satisfy federal 21 CFR Part 111 record-keeping requirements:
- Corporate & Contact Details: Company name, authorized contact personnel, billing address, facility ship-to locations, corporate email, and telephone numbers.
- Product Specifications: Desired dosage form, active ingredient specifications, target fill weights, projected annual volumes, and packaging requirements.
- Technical Documents: Customer-supplied Certificates of Analysis, raw material specifications, label artwork files, and trademark usage declarations.
- Website Log Data: Non-personally identifiable IP addresses, browser types, and navigation activity for site functionality and security auditing.
4. How We Use Client & Production Data
Information provided to MNL is strictly used for legitimate CDMO business operations:
- Generating accurate B2B production quotes and bill of materials (BOM) costings.
- Formulating pilot bench samples and executing Master Manufacturing Records (MMRs).
- Conducting analytical HPLC, ICP-MS, and microbiological release testing for lot Certificates of Analysis.
- Facilitating domestic freight dispatch, LTL pallet shipping, and customs clearance declarations.
5. Non-Disclosure & Third-Party Policy
We do not sell, rent, monetize, or trade client data or formula specifications under any circumstances. Data is shared only with verified operational partners essential to your production order:
- Accredited third-party analytical testing laboratories (e.g. ISO/IEC 17025 partner labs) under blind lot numbers to verify chemical purity without revealing client brand names.
- Freight logistics carriers (e.g. LTL carriers, FedEx Freight) solely for commercial delivery coordination.
- Federal regulatory authorities (FDA, TDA) only when formally mandated by subpoena or statutory federal inspection.
6. Batch Production Records & Data Retention
Under FDA 21 CFR §111.605, dietary supplement manufacturers must retain all Batch Production Records (BPRs), raw material testing records, and quality control disposition files for 1 year past the shelf-life date (or 2 years beyond batch distribution date). All electronic records are preserved in encrypted ERP databases with redundant off-site backups.
7. Mandatory FDA Dietary Supplement Disclaimer
“These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. These products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.”
Micelle Nutraceuticals Labs operates exclusively as a contract manufacturer and does not market medicinal claims. All structure/function claims on customer products are the legal responsibility of the respective brand owners under 21 CFR Part 101.
