Privacy Policy

This policy explains how Faunexis Research Institute handles personal information submitted through this website, including account, enquiry, specimen, and research-report information.

• ·Account and staff profile details required to provide protected institutional access.
• ·Applicant, submitter, researcher, and examiner details included in specimen or report workflows.
• ·Uploaded photographs, documents, specimen descriptions, and related research records.
• ·Technical security records needed to protect accounts, investigate errors, and maintain service integrity.

Information is used to receive submissions, conduct and document research examinations, manage reports, control staff access, maintain audit records, respond to enquiries, and protect the service. Internal records are restricted to authorised administrators and researchers according to assigned permissions.

A report is publicly searchable only when authorised staff mark it as published and public. Only fields specifically selected for public disclosure are displayed. Private applicant details, internal notes, audit records, draft material, and private files are not part of the public verification result.

Records and files are retained only for legitimate institutional, research, security, and record-keeping purposes. Specific retention periods, deletion schedules, and the institute's legal contact details must be confirmed before production launch.

Requests to access, correct, restrict, or delete personal information should be sent to the official privacy contact once published on the Contact page. A request may be limited where retention is required for research integrity, security, legal obligations, or the rights of others.

The website may rely on carefully selected hosting, authentication, file-storage, and security providers acting on the institute's behalf. This policy may be updated when operations, providers, or applicable requirements change. Material revisions will be dated on this page.
