Region and time-zone statement

Operating model
Globally distributed and remote. No public walk-in office or visitor reception address is listed on this website.
Reference time
UTC is used as the neutral reference for published deadlines, meeting coordination, and version timestamps.
Local times
Meeting invitations should state the city or IANA time zone and UTC offset; daylight-saving changes remain the sender’s responsibility.
Regional communication
English is the authoritative reference version for formal interpretation. Chinese and Arabic are full access versions; material differences should be reported for correction.
Asynchronous contact
Email is handled asynchronously across regions. Receipt does not imply immediate review, acceptance, endorsement, or a guaranteed response time.
05

Privacy, security, and response boundaries

01

No sensitive secrets

Never email passwords, private keys, seed phrases, production credentials, full identity documents, medical records, or unredacted personal datasets.

02

Describe before transferring

For restricted data, large files, unpublished archives, or security evidence, first send metadata and request an approved transfer method.

03

No emergency service

CivilizationSci.org is not an emergency, legal, medical, financial, cybersecurity incident-response, or whistleblower-protection service.

04

No automatic agreement

An email, meeting, acknowledgment, or preliminary discussion does not create confidentiality, employment, funding, procurement, partnership, publication, donation acceptance, or investment obligations.

05

Written terms required

Confidentiality, data access, ethics, IP, funding, donations, expenses, contracts, and investment require separately verified written terms.

06

Corrections and records

Material correspondence may be retained as a versioned decision or contribution record, subject to lawful privacy, security, and retention limits.

06

Additional routing

Research funding and donations are distinct from equity or commercial investment. Do not transfer funds until the receiving legal entity, purpose, instructions, restrictions, receipt capability, and authorized contact have been confirmed in writing.
