Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Clinical Research Reader, a DBA of Clinical Relay LLC ("we"), handles information on https://clinicalresearchreader.com.

Information collected

When you use our contact form, we collect your full name and, if you choose to provide them, your email address, phone number, and general notes about availability or topic interests. When you opt in to SMS, we record your phone number, the SMS category you selected, the time of consent, the page where you opted in, the disclosure version, and your browser user agent. We ask that you do not submit health information, and the form is not designed to collect it.

How information is used

We use information to respond to your inquiry, deliver the SMS categories you selected, and, only if you separately request it, organize your stated interests for a courtesy introduction.

SMS communications

Depending on the categories you chose, SMS messages may include account notifications tied to your own requests and recurring marketing messages with article digest summaries, general research opportunity notices, and participation resources. Message frequency varies. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to cancel or HELP for help. See our SMS Terms of Service.

Mobile opt-in information

Mobile opt-in data, SMS consent, and phone numbers collected for SMS purposes will not be sold, shared, rented, released, or transferred to third parties for marketing, lead generation, or promotional purposes.

This includes research organizations, trial sponsors, drug development companies, and third-party marketers. Sharing your contact details for a courtesy introduction to one specific independent program happens only with your separate, explicit consent, which is distinct from SMS opt-in. SMS consent is never shared as part of such an introduction.

Cookies and analytics

We may use basic cookies or similar technologies needed for the site to function and to understand general site usage. The saved reading list stores only article identifiers in your own browser.

Data retention

We keep inquiry and consent records only as long as needed to provide the services you requested and to meet recordkeeping obligations.

Opt-out rights

You can stop SMS at any time by replying STOP, UNSUBSCRIBE, CANCEL, END, or QUIT. You can ask us to update or delete your information by emailing editor@clinicalresearchreader.com.

Security

We use reasonable measures to protect information, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

Children's privacy

This site and its forms are intended for adults 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

Third-party links

Our site may link to other websites. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices.

Policy changes

We may update this policy. The date above shows the latest revision.
