Traffic analytics
The site records page views, visits, approximate time on site, and popular pages. A random browser identifier is created in local storage and hashed before database storage. A hashed network identifier is used briefly for abuse throttling; raw IP addresses are not intentionally stored by the application.
Children’s Kingdom traffic is included in aggregate counts. The children’s pages do not ask children to create accounts or submit personal profiles. Parents and guardians should submit any inquiry themselves.
Forms and study-update waitlist
When you voluntarily submit a form, the site stores the name, email address, topic, and message you provide. The update list remains a waitlist until email delivery is configured. When it is active, an owner can send individual study updates to confirmed subscribers through the connected email service. Subscription changes require an email confirmation link. Pending confirmation records expire after 24 hours and are cleared during later email requests. Confirmed consent and unsubscribe timestamps are recorded. Sent update records store the campaign ID, recipient address, delivery state and provider receipt to prevent duplicates; draft content is retained for editorial review. Existing subscriptions are preserved while confirmation delivery is unavailable.
Do not submit passwords, financial details, medical information, government identifiers, or other sensitive information.
Retention and deletion
Analytics records are intended to be retained for no more than 14 months. Study questions and contact messages are intended to be retained for no more than 24 months unless an active correspondence requires longer. Unsubscribed addresses may be retained in suppression status so they are not reactivated accidentally.
Use the contact form to request access, correction, or deletion. Use the dedicated form on the community page to unsubscribe.
External services
Research links open third-party websites governed by their own privacy practices. The Media Hall uses a privacy-enhanced YouTube embed; YouTube may receive technical information when the player loads or is used.
Browser storage
The site uses local storage for the random analytics identifier and analytics exclusion preference, and session storage for the current visit. It does not use an advertising tracker.
