Privacy & Data Protection Policy

THRIVE is dedicated to transparent, minimal data practices, ethical research data custody, and respect for individual privacy.

Privacy & Data Protection Standards

1. Static-First & Privacy-First Platform

The THRIVE institutional website is designed with a static-first architecture. We do not use intrusive tracking cookies, advertising trackers, or third-party behavioural monitoring scripts.

2. Website Analytics

This website currently has no analytics or advertising tracking scripts. The hosting provider may process technical access logs, and Google Fonts is requested to display the site's typefaces. External document links open services with their own privacy practices.

3. Contact Form Submissions

When you submit an enquiry through our contact form, we collect only the information provided (name, email, organisation, message) solely to respond to your communication. We do not sell or distribute contact details to third parties.

4. Health & Research Data Custody

Zero Public Web Storage of Participant Data: We never host, store, or process identifiable clinical patient records or research participant datasets on our public website. All operational research data is anonymised, stored in secure encrypted institutional repositories, and governed by protocol-specific ethics approvals under Cameroonian law.

5. Privacy Enquiries
