1. Commitment to Commercial Confidentiality
VIRC Nutritionals ("we", "our", or "us") operates as a cGMP-certified custom nutraceutical gummy manufacturer based in Selma, Texas. We recognize that our global brand partners, wholesale buyers, and contract manufacturing clients share highly sensitive trade secrets, including proprietary active ingredient ratios, custom mold specifications, and market launch timelines.
We are fully committed to protecting your corporate privacy, personal data, and commercial trade secrets. All technical inquiries, benchmark requests, custom formulation briefs, and purchase orders are handled under strict non-disclosure compliance protocols (NDA standards).
2. Information We Collect from Overseas Buyers

- Custom Gummy Specifications: Target active ingredients, desired dosage per gummy, preferred mold shape, coating preference (oil, sanding, wax), packaging format (bulk bags, bottles, pouches), and target annual order volume.
- Technical & Regulatory Documentation: Target regulatory claims (FDA, EU EFSA, GCC, ANZ compliance requirements) and artwork components supplied for packaging verification.
- Automated Digital Data: IP address, device type, browser specifications, and referral sources collected via standard server logs for website performance and cybersecurity monitoring.
