Last Updated: March 29, 2026

Introduction

Welcome to The CRC Toolkit ("we," "us," or "our"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about how this site operates, how we earn revenue, and the limitations of our content. This page covers our Privacy Policy, Affiliate Disclosures, and Site Disclaimer in one place.

By using this site, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

Affiliate Disclosure

Amazon Associates: The CRC Toolkit is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. When you click an Amazon link on this site and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This commission does not influence which products are listed or recommended — all product suggestions reflect items commonly used in clinical research settings.

Other Affiliate Programs: From time to time, The CRC Toolkit may participate in additional affiliate or referral programs (including but not limited to platforms such as Etsy or other marketplaces). Where applicable, affiliate links will be clearly identified. We only link to products or services we believe may be genuinely useful to our audience.

FTC Compliance: In accordance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, we disclose any material connection between this site and any product, service, or third party. Affiliate links on this site constitute such a material connection.

Advertising

Google AdSense: We use Google AdSense to serve advertisements on our site. Google uses cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to our website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our sites and/or other sites on the Internet. Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Ads Settings. We do not control the content of advertisements served by Google.

Site Disclaimer

The content on The CRC Toolkit, including articles, calculators, flashcards, acronym glossaries, certification guides, and product recommendations — is provided for educational and informational purposes only. It does not constitute professional, medical, legal, regulatory, or financial advice.

• Clinical research information: Content reflects general clinical research practice and publicly available guidance. It is not a substitute for your site's SOPs, sponsor instructions, protocol requirements, or applicable regulations. Always follow your institution's policies and the governing regulatory framework for your specific study.
• Product recommendations: Physical product suggestions (binders, equipment, supplies, storage devices) are general recommendations only. Suitability for use in a regulated clinical research environment depends on your protocol, sponsor requirements, institutional IT/compliance policies, and applicable regulations including but not limited to 21 CFR Part 11. We have not independently tested or validated any product for regulatory compliance. Confirm with your site leadership and sponsor before using any product in a clinical trial context.
• Certification information: Exam requirements, fees, and eligibility criteria are set by ACRP and SOCRA and are subject to change without notice. Always verify current information directly with the certifying organization before applying.
• External links: Links to third-party websites (regulatory bodies, professional organizations, Amazon, etc.) are provided for convenience. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, accuracy, or privacy practices of any third-party site.
• No liability: The CRC Toolkit and its operators are not responsible or liable for any decisions, actions, errors, omissions, or outcomes arising from use of information or products referenced on this site.

The CRC Toolkit is an independent educational resource and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the FDA, EMA, ICH, NIH, ACRP, SOCRA, or any other regulatory authority, government agency, or professional organization.

Information We Do Not Collect

Our Service is designed with your privacy as a priority. We do not require you to create an account, and we do not collect, store, or transmit any personally identifiable information (PII) or Protected Health Information (PHI) that you enter into the calculator fields. All calculations are performed within your browser and the data you enter is not saved by our servers.

Information We Collect Automatically

Like many site operators, we may collect information that your browser sends whenever you visit our Service ("Log Data"). This Log Data is anonymous and may include information such as your computer's Internet Protocol ("IP") address (often anonymized or truncated), browser type, browser version, the pages of our Service that you visit, the time and date of your visit, and other statistics. We also utilize analytics tools to count the number of times tools are used, but this is an aggregated, anonymous count and is not tied to any individual user.

Links to Other Sites

Our Service contains links to other sites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy and Disclosure page from time to time. Changes are effective when posted. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
