Privacy Policy

At Lakeside Research Center, we are committed to protecting your privacy while ensuring a safe and efficient research experience.

1. Information We Collect

We intentionally limit the data we collect:

• No health information (PHI) is collected during initial pre-screening
• No data is stored for individuals who do not qualify
• We only collect:
  • Name
  • Email address
  • Phone number

This information is collected only from individuals who appear likely to qualify and choose to proceed.

2. Our Zero-Data Pre-Screening Approach

Our system is designed to reduce risk and protect your privacy:

• Non-qualifiers leave no stored data or digital trace
• Responses used for eligibility are not saved or retained
• Only minimal contact information is collected when necessary

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your contact details to:

• Follow up regarding potential study participation
• Schedule screening calls with a research coordinator
• Provide relevant study information

We do not sell, rent, or share your information with third parties for marketing.

4. HIPAA Considerations

We are committed to minimizing exposure to Protected Health Information (PHI):

• No PHI is collected during online pre-screening
• Any medical screening occurs offline via phone with appropriate consent
• Data collection is limited to what is necessary for research participation

5. Data Security

We implement reasonable safeguards to protect the limited information we collect, including:

• Secure communication systems
