Privacy Policy
Effective date: January 1, 2026
Mount Clinical Research ('Mount Clinical Research,' 'we,' 'us,' or 'our') respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information when you visit our website, communicate with us, or participate in our research programs. This policy does not apply to protected health information collected as part of a clinical trial, which is governed by the informed consent and HIPAA authorization you sign for that specific study.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information you voluntarily provide through our website forms, including your name, email address, organization, phone number, and the content of any message you send us.
We also automatically collect limited technical information when you visit our website, such as browser type, device type, pages visited, and referring URLs, through standard web server logs and analytics tools.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Respond to inquiries from sponsors, prospective participants, job applicants, and the general public
- Evaluate feasibility for clinical trials and laboratory service requests
- Send research updates and newsletters to individuals who opt in
- Improve our website and understand how visitors use it
- Comply with legal, regulatory, and contractual obligations
3. Clinical Trial Data
If you enroll in a clinical trial, the collection, use, and disclosure of your health information is governed by the informed consent form and HIPAA authorization specific to that study, not by this website Privacy Policy. Please refer to those documents, or ask your study coordinator, for details specific to a trial you are considering or participating in.
4. Sharing of Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with service providers who help us operate our website and business operations (such as hosting and email delivery providers), and as required by law, regulation, or legal process.
5. Data Security
We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
6. Your Choices
You may opt out of marketing communications at any time by using the unsubscribe link in any email we send, or by contacting us directly. You may also request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information you have submitted through our website, subject to applicable legal and regulatory retention requirements.
7. Children's Privacy
Our website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children through this website outside the context of an IRB-approved pediatric study with appropriate parental consent.
