Privacy and Cookies Policy

Introduction

The California Neuropsychopharmacology Clinical Research Institute ("CNRI," "we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy and Cookies Policy (Version 1.2) explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website. Please read this policy carefully. By using our website, you agree to the practices described herein.

Information We Collect

How We Use Your Information

• Respond to your inquiries and contact requests
• Connect you with appropriate clinical trial opportunities
• Process referrals from healthcare providers
• Improve our website and user experience
• Communicate with you about our services (with your consent)
• Comply with legal obligations and protect our rights

Cookies and Local Storage Technologies

We use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies to enhance your browsing experience. Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Local storage is a browser feature that allows websites to store data locally on your device. Both are used to remember your preferences and improve site functionality.

Managing Cookies and Local Storage

You can control and manage cookies and local storage through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies and local storage data, or be notified when a cookie is set. Please note that clearing this data may reset your preferences (such as theme and cookie consent). You can also manage your cookie preferences through the consent banner displayed when you first visit our website.

Do Not Track

Our website respects Do Not Track (DNT) browser signals. When your browser sends a DNT signal, we automatically decline non-essential cookies and local storage on your behalf, treating it as if you selected "Decline" on our cookie consent banner. Essential cookies and local storage required for site functionality (such as recording that your DNT preference was honored) are not affected. You can change this at any time by clearing your browser's local storage and revisiting the site with DNT disabled.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell or share your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. We may share your information in the following circumstances:

• With our research staff to facilitate clinical trial inquiries
• With service providers who assist in operating our website (such as hosting and infrastructure providers)
• When required by law, regulation, or legal process
• To protect the rights, property, or safety of CNRI, our users, or others

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Data Breach Notification

In the event of a data breach that compromises your personal information, we will notify affected individuals and relevant authorities as required by California Civil Code Section 1798.82 and other applicable laws. Notification will be made in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Contact form submissions are retained for the duration of our business relationship and as required for regulatory compliance.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal information:

• Access the personal information we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information
• Request deletion of your personal information
• Opt out of certain uses of your information
• Request a copy of your personal information in a portable format
• Limit the use and disclosure of your sensitive personal information

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information provided below. We will respond to your request within the timeframe required by applicable law. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights.

California Privacy Rights

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), California residents have additional rights regarding their personal information. These include the right to know what personal information is collected and how it is used, the right to request deletion, the right to correct inaccurate information, the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, and the right to limit the use of sensitive personal information. CNRI does not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. CNRI does not use automated decision-making technology for purposes that would require opt-out rights under the CPRA. To submit a request under the CCPA/CPRA, please contact us using the information below.

Children's Privacy

Our website is not intended for children under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 in compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), or from minors under 16 without verifiable consent. If you believe we have collected information from a child, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy and Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or applicable laws. We will post any changes on this page, update the "Last Updated" date, and increment the version number. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
