Research Data
This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through the public website.
Research studies conducted by Brain, Body, and Behavior may have separate consent documents, privacy disclosures, protocols, or data-management procedures. Those study-specific materials govern the collection and use of research-participant information and are separate from this website Privacy Policy.
Third-Party Websites and Services
This website may contain links to external websites, publications, journals, institutional pages, software repositories, research resources, social-media services, or other third-party websites.
Brain, Body, and Behavior does not control the privacy practices or content of third-party websites. Visitors should review the privacy policies of those services directly.
Embedded Content
Some pages may contain content provided by third-party platforms, including videos, documents, maps, publication resources, or other embedded materials. Those services may collect information according to their own privacy practices.
Data Security
Reasonable administrative and technical measures may be used to protect information collected through the website. No website, email system, or electronic transmission method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Data Retention
Information submitted through the website may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to inquiries, maintain records, meet administrative requirements, protect the website, or comply with applicable obligations.
Children’s Privacy
This public website is not designed to knowingly collect personal information from children through general website interactions.
If a research study involves minors, any collection of research information is governed by the applicable research protocol and consent or permission process rather than this general website Privacy Policy.
