Research data
Where a research program involves human subjects, survey responses, or personal data of third parties, such data is handled under the specific protocol, consent framework, and data-use agreement governing that program — which controls over this general Policy.
2. How We Use Information
- To evaluate, scope, and perform research and laboratory services under contract;
- To communicate with you about inquiries, proposals, protocols, results, and administrative matters;
- To maintain research records, versioned data, and audit trails consistent with good laboratory and documentation practice;
- To comply with legal, regulatory, contractual, and ethical obligations, including research compliance requirements;
- To protect the security and integrity of our systems, facility, and research data;
- To send optional updates you have requested — you may opt out at any time.
3. How We Share Information
We do not sell personal information. We disclose information only in these circumstances:
- Program collaborators: with co-investigators, subcontracted laboratories, and institutional partners named in a research agreement, as needed to perform the work;
- Service providers: vendors providing hosting, email, data storage, or administrative services under confidentiality obligations;
- Legal process: when required by law, regulation, subpoena, or court order, or to protect rights, safety, and property;
- Business transfers: in a merger, acquisition, or asset transfer, subject to the protections of this Policy;
- At your direction: with your consent or instruction.
4. Confidential Research Materials
Proprietary briefs, unpublished data, and trade secrets shared with us are treated as confidential and used solely for the purposes of the engagement under which they were disclosed, or as otherwise agreed in writing.
5. Cookies and Site Technologies
The Site may use cookies for essential functionality and aggregate analytics. You can refuse or delete cookies through your browser settings without affecting access to substantive content. We do not use tracking technologies to sell data or profile visitors for third-party advertising.
6. Data Retention
We retain information for as long as needed for the purposes described in this Policy, including research recordkeeping, legal, tax, and contractual obligations. Research data is retained per the applicable protocol or agreement; other records are securely destroyed when no longer required.
7. Data Security
We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to a research organization — including access controls, encrypted transmission for sensitive materials, and least-privilege data access. No system is perfectly secure; we will notify affected parties of any breach as required by law.
8. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you, and to opt out of non-essential communications. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details in Section 10. We will respond within the time required by applicable law.
