This notice explains how The Research Minds handles personal information provided through this website or by email. It is written for the current static website and should be reviewed when analytics, payment, file-upload or customer-management services are added.
Information you choose to provide
If you contact us, you may provide your name, email address, research stage, service interest and a description of your enquiry. Please do not include confidential datasets, unpublished manuscripts, personal participant data or sensitive institutional material in an initial enquiry.
How information is used
Enquiry information is used to understand your request, respond, assess whether the requested support is appropriate and document agreed next steps. It is not sold or used for unrelated advertising.
How the website form works
The consultation form prepares a message in your default email application. The website does not send form content to a third-party form processor. Your email provider will process the message according to its own terms and privacy practices.
Confidential research material
Research material should be shared only after the scope, necessity and confidentiality requirements are agreed. Material received for an engagement is used only for the agreed purpose and access should be limited to people involved in that work.
Retention and deletion
Enquiry and engagement records should be retained only as long as reasonably necessary for communication, contractual, accounting or legal purposes. You may request correction or deletion where applicable, subject to records that must be retained by law.
Cookies and tracking
The current website does not include advertising trackers or third-party analytics. Essential browser functionality may store temporary interface state. If analytics or embedded third-party services are introduced, this notice and any consent controls must be updated first.
Your choices
You may ask what personal information is held about you, request correction, object to certain processing or request deletion where applicable. Rights vary by jurisdiction.
