Confidentiality Statement
Our contractual and technical commitments to protecting unpublished data, manuscripts, grant proposals, and proprietary discovery pipelines.
1. Default Confidentiality Posture
Scientists, biotechnology startups, and pharmaceutical teams share pre-publication manuscripts, unpatented target hypotheses, and clinical datasets with Science Habitat (Ubioquitos Inc.). We treat every prospective and active client interaction as strictly confidential by default — before, during, and after any formal contract.
2. Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) & Confidentiality Period
We execute mutual or one-way Non-Disclosure Agreements prior to any substantive scoping call involving unpublished science. Under our standard mutual NDA template, confidential information is protected for a minimum period of five (5) years from disclosure (and indefinitely with respect to trade secrets and unpublished patient/clinical data). We also readily execute your organization’s standard corporate or institutional NDA.
3. Implemented Information-Handling & Security Controls
During every engagement, Ubioquitos Inc. enforces the following operational and technical controls:
- Need-to-Know Access Control: Project folders are restricted exclusively to the named PhD scientists assigned to your engagement.
- Encrypted Transit & MFA: All communications and file transfers occur over HTTPS/TLS encryption, and all corporate email and storage accounts require multi-factor authentication (MFA).
- Strict Prohibition on Public AI Training: Client manuscripts, datasets, sequences, and protocols are never entered into public AI platforms or shared across engagements.
- Return or Secure Destruction: At engagement closure, all client source files are returned or permanently purged upon your written instruction.
4. Intellectual Property Ownership
Unless otherwise specified in writing, 100% of foreground intellectual property, manuscripts, figures, statistical tables, and custom analysis scripts generated under a paid client engagement are owned exclusively by the client upon payment. Ubioquitos Inc. claims no authorship or patent rights over client inventions.
5. No Unapproved Public Reference
We never name a client, display institutional logos as commercial endorsements, or publish a case study without explicit prior written authorization. Request our standard mutual NDA prior to your scoping call via support@sciencehabitat.com or our scoping request form. Last updated: October 20, 2026.
