Terms of Use

Updated October 30, 2022

​

This website (https://research-china.org) is operated by Brian Stuy, owner and founder. This page, "Terms of Use," informs you of my policies regarding the collection, use and disclosure of information I receive from users of this website. I respect your privacy and the security of your information. I will never share, sell, or misuse any information you provide.

​​

What Type of Information I Collect

I receive, collect and store any personally identifiable information you willfully enter on the forms on this website. Through the use of Google Analytics, I collect anonymous, non-personally identifiable user information such as the type of browser you used to access this website, your browser type and version, the pages you visited, page response times, and when and long long you visited. In addition, this website may use cookies, small harmless text files with data sent to your browser.

​​

Why I Collect Information

I use the information collected through the forms and purchases in order to fulfill and respond to your requests and purchases. I use the information collected by Google Analytics to optimize the effectiveness and usefulness of this website.

​​

Where Your Information is Stored

Information you provide through my forms is stored by me and on the Wix webhost servers for backup and security. The non-personally identifiable information gathered by Google Analytics is stored on the Google Servers and may be stored by me only to optimize the effectiveness and usefulness of this website. Likewise, the anonymous, non-personally identifiable data in cookies is not stored by me but may be stored by Wix or Google Analytics.​

​​​

Your Consent

By using this website, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with these Terms of Use.

​​

Requesting or Deleting Your Information

At any time, you may request a copy of any personally identifiable information stored by Wix or by me. At any time, you can request that the information be deleted; however, I reserve the right to retain information that is needed for my research. By default, non-personally identifiable information (see "What Type of Information I Collect," above) stored by Google Analytics will be deleted after 26 months.​

​​

Security

The security of any personal information you provide at will to me is very important to me. I strive to use commercially acceptable standards to protect your personal information, and I do not share it with anyone. However, remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or any method of electronic storage or communication such as email, is 100% secure, so I cannot 100% guarantee its absolute security.

​

These Terms of Use are effective as of date listed at the top of this page. Any changes made in the future will be in effect immediately after being posted on this page. I reserve the right to update or change these Terms of Use at any time; you can check this page for any updates. Your use of this website at any time constitutes your acknowledgment of the Terms of Use and your consent to abide and be bound by them.
