6. Your Choices and Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, update, delete, or restrict the processing of your personal information, and to object to certain processing or withdraw consent. You may also have the right to data portability. To exercise these rights, contact us at [privacy@centerforjusticeresearch.org].
7. Regional Disclosures
• California (CCPA/CPRA): California residents may request access to, deletion of, or information about our data practices, and opt out of “sharing” for cross‑context behavioral advertising. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.
• European Economic Area/UK (GDPR/UK GDPR): Our lawful bases for processing include consent, contract performance, legal obligation, legitimate interests, and vital interests. You may lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.

8. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Retention periods may vary by data category and use case.
9. Security
We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
10. Children’s Privacy
Our Services are not directed to children under 13 (or other minimum age as defined by local law), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.
11. Third‑Party Links and Services
The Services may contain links to third‑party websites, services, and plugins. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.
12. International Data Transfers
If you access the Services from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in countries that may have different data protection laws than your country of residence. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for such transfers.
