Privacy Policy & Research Data Governance
Effective Date: August 31, 2026. This Privacy Policy details the standards, technical controls, and operational protocols governing the collection, processing, and protection of information across the EvidenceMap Workbook ecosystem.
1. Overview and Core Tenets
EvidenceMap Workbook is committed to maintaining the highest ethical and methodological integrity. We design our digital guides, bibliographic workflows, and research matrices with data minimization and confidentiality as architectural defaults.
This policy applies to all interactions with our web materials, workflow toolkits, knowledge resources, and direct communications. We do not sell research data, bibliographic records, or personal identifying information under any circumstance.
2. Information We Collect
We collect only the minimum amount of information necessary to deliver educational materials, process workbook queries, and enhance the technical performance of our academic repository:
A. Voluntarily Submitted Data
When you contact us, request curriculum information, or submit feedback, we may collect your name, institutional email address, academic affiliation, and message content.
B. Automated Technical Telemetry
When you browse our documentation, our servers collect standard non-identifying telemetry including browser type, operating system, general geographic region, referring URLs, and anonymous interaction timestamps to monitor uptime and server loads.
3. How We Utilize Collected Information
Information collected through our platform is utilized strictly for scholarly and operational purposes:
- Delivering instructional materials and workbook updates.
- Responding to inquiries regarding EndNote evidence-mapping integrations.
- Diagnosing technical malfunctions, verifying site security, and preventing abusive access.
- Complying with applicable legal obligations and institutional research protocols.
4. Cookies and Analytical Technologies
We use essential technical cookies to ensure the proper functioning of page layouts, state retention, and accessibility preferences. We do not use third-party behavioral profiling trackers or invasive surveillance scripts.
You can configure your web browser to block or alert you about cookies; however, some sections of the knowledge archive may experience reduced interactive fidelity.
5. Data Retention and Information Security
We employ robust technical and organizational safeguards including encrypted transport protocols (HTTPS/TLS), isolated server environments, and restricted administrative credentials to protect against unauthorized access, modification, or data destruction.
Personal communications and inquiries are retained only for the period necessary to fulfill the operational purpose for which they were gathered, following which they are permanently deleted.
