Your privacy.
Our responsibility.

Information We Collect

We collect information that is reasonably necessary to operate our website, communicate about our work, and conduct research. This may include information you voluntarily provide, such as your name, email address, eligibility-form responses, study responses, and other information submitted through our forms.

We may also receive limited technical information when you visit the website, such as browser type, device type, referring pages, and general usage information. We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information through this website unless it is required for an approved research activity and you have been appropriately informed.

How We Use Information

We use information to respond to inquiries, assess potential study eligibility, coordinate participation, administer research activities, maintain website security, and improve our website and research resources.

Research information may also be analyzed in aggregated or de-identified form for scientific analysis, reporting, and publication, subject to the applicable protocol and consent materials.

Research Participants

Individuals who participate in QU-001 receive study information and complete an informed-consent process before participating. Research information is handled according to the approved protocol, applicable institutional requirements, and the consent materials provided to participants.

This website notice does not replace the study consent form. If there is a difference between this page and participant-specific study documentation, the approved study documentation governs the research activity.

Data Protection

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. Access to research information is limited according to study responsibilities and protocol requirements.

No website, transmission method, or electronic-storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by applicable research, legal, administrative, or institutional obligations. Research records may be retained for the period specified in the approved protocol and related study documentation.

Your Choices

You may contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information you have provided through the website, subject to applicable legal, institutional, and research-record requirements.

Research participants may choose not to participate or may withdraw according to the terms explained during the informed-consent process. Some information already incorporated into completed analyses or required research records may not be removable.
