Privacy

This website collects only the information visitors choose to provide through the organizational-interest form or by contacting the research team directly.

Information we collect

The interest form asks for your name, email address, organization or unit, approximate organization size, and industry. Please do not submit confidential business information, research responses, or other sensitive personal information through this form.

How we use it

The research team uses this information to respond to your inquiry and share future information about the Organizational Gap Framework research. Expressing interest does not enroll you or your organization in a study.

How it is handled

Form submissions are processed and stored through Netlify, the website hosting provider, and forwarded to the research team. Information is retained only as long as reasonably needed to respond to inquiries, plan potential outreach, or meet applicable institutional requirements.

Your choices

You may ask to have your form information corrected or deleted by emailing bwiersma@liberty.edu. You may also contact the research team directly without using the form.

Research participation

If formal research recruitment begins, prospective participants will receive the appropriate study-specific information, consent materials, and institutional disclosures before any research data are collected.
