Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 2025

The Behavioral Research Innovation Center (BRIC) is committed to protecting the privacy of our website visitors. This policy explains what information we collect and how we use it.

Information We Collect

We collect limited information through our website in the following ways:

Contact Form

When you contact us through our website, we collect your name and email address to respond to your inquiry.

Newsletter Subscriptions

If you choose to subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address to send you updates about our work.

Website Analytics

We use Umami Analytics to understand how visitors use our website. This privacy-focused analytics tool collects anonymous usage data without using cookies or tracking personal information. The data collected includes page views, referral sources, and general visitor location (country level only).

Bot Protection and Form Security

We use Cloudflare Turnstile to protect our forms from spam and automated abuse. Turnstile is a privacy-friendly security service that helps verify that website visitors are legitimate users rather than bots. When you interact with our forms, Turnstile may analyze information about your browser, device, and interaction patterns to distinguish between human and automated traffic. This process does not require you to solve puzzles or challenges, and it respects your privacy by minimizing data collection.

Turnstile may set a temporary token in your browser that is used to validate your submission. This token is cryptographically secured and is only used for the purpose of form validation. For more information about Cloudflare Turnstile's privacy practices, you can visit Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.
