Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 17, 2026

Monroe Biomedical Research (MBR) respects the privacy of people who visit our website, contact our team, or ask about clinical research opportunities. This Privacy Policy explains what information we may collect through our website, how we may use it, and the choices you have.

This policy applies to information collected through the MBR website. It does not replace any study-specific informed consent form, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) authorization, clinical trial notice, or other privacy document you may receive if you are screened for or enrolled in a clinical trial.

Information We Collect

We may collect information you choose to share with us through website forms, email links, phone calls, or other contact methods on the site. This may include your name, phone number, email address, location, study interest, medical condition or area of interest, message content, and any other information you decide to provide.

We may also collect basic website usage information automatically when you visit the site. This may include your browser type, device type, pages viewed, time spent on the site, referring website, approximate location based on technical data, and other information about how visitors use the site.

How We Use Information

We use information collected through the website to respond to inquiries, share information about MBR, evaluate interest in clinical research opportunities, improve the website, understand how visitors use our pages, support recruitment and outreach efforts, and maintain the security and performance of the site.

If you contact us about a clinical trial, we may use the information you provide to follow up with you, answer your questions, or help determine whether a study may be relevant to you. Providing information through the website does not enroll you in a clinical trial. Enrollment decisions, study procedures, privacy rights, and medical information use are handled through the formal screening, informed consent, and authorization process for each study.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website. Google Analytics may use cookies or similar technologies to collect information about website activity, such as pages visited, time on page, device and browser information, and general location information.

Google uses this information to provide analytics services to MBR. We use the reports to improve website content, navigation, performance, and outreach.

Google Analytics may collect information through first-party cookies set by our website. If Google Analytics Advertising Features are enabled, Google may also use Google advertising cookies or identifiers to help provide reports related to demographics, interests, remarketing, advertising performance, or similar advertising features.

You can learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. You can manage Google advertising settings at https://adssettings.google.com. You can also use the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small files stored on your device. We may use cookies and similar technologies to help the website work, measure site activity, remember certain preferences, and understand how visitors interact with our pages.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. If you block or delete cookies, some website features may not work as intended.

How We Share Information

We do not sell personal information collected through the website.

We may share information with service providers that help us operate the website, respond to inquiries, provide analytics, support communications, or manage business operations. These providers are expected to use information only as needed to provide services to MBR.

We may also share information when required by law, to respond to legal process, to protect our rights or the rights of others, to address security or safety concerns, or as part of a business transaction involving MBR.

Clinical Trial and Health Information

Information shared through a website form is not the same as information collected during a clinical trial visit. If you are screened for or take part in a clinical trial, you will receive study-specific information that explains how your health information may be collected, used, shared, and protected.

Study records and health information are handled according to applicable laws, study protocols, Sponsor requirements, Institutional Review Board requirements, informed consent documents, HIPAA authorizations when applicable, and MBR site procedures.

Your Choices

You may choose not to submit information through the website. You may also contact us to ask that we update, correct, or delete information you previously provided through the website, subject to legal, regulatory, study-related, and operational requirements.

You may control cookies through your browser. You may also use the Google tools linked above to manage certain Google Analytics and advertising-related choices.

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information collected through the website. No website, email system, or online service can guarantee complete security. Please use care when deciding what information to share online.

Data Retention

We keep information collected through the website for as long as needed to respond to inquiries, support business and recruitment operations, comply with legal or regulatory obligations, resolve disputes, maintain security, and meet legitimate operational needs.

Links to Other Websites

Our website may link to third-party websites or services. MBR is not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of those third-party websites. Review their privacy policies before sharing information with them.

Children

The MBR website is not intended for children under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18 through the website. If we learn that we have collected information from a child under 18 without appropriate consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
