Site practices and data handling¶
Browse the research, choose whether to load external charts, and understand how sources and public records are handled.
Public browsing and understandable choices¶
You can read the research, search documentation, filter the country table, and explore Source Transparency Watch without an account. GRIMdata does not use analytics scripts or collect visitor submissions through this site.
Filtering the country table, exploring the source watch and searching documentation happen in your browser using files hosted on GRIMdata. A shared search link may contain your query in its URL; that query can be visible in browser history and to anyone you share the link with.
Your browser stores your appearance preferences locally. The hosting provider may receive request information such as your IP address; we have not verified its logging or retention practices.
Optional external charts¶
The table works without external charts. Selecting Load interactive charts requests Plotly from cdn.plot.ly; the world map also requests geographic assets from that provider. The provider receives normal request information. No country search terms or uploaded personal data are sent by GRIMdata's chart code.
Charts stay off until you choose to load them. That choice lasts for the current page; navigating to another chart page or reloading asks you to choose again.
Links to publications, project sites, and GitHub take you to external services with their own privacy practices. Links open normally unless labelled as opening a new tab.
Provenance, uncertainty, and attribution¶
The published visualization snapshot was generated 26 June 2026 from Global_QueerAI_Child_Scorecard_MASTER.xlsx. Its metadata records source verification on 9 September 2025. Check the dates on the original sources when assessing subsequent policy changes.
Scores are screening signals. Inspect written justifications, original sources, and the methodology. Missing values remain missing in comparisons. Cite the version/date and relevant sources, state documentation gaps, and pair numerical comparisons with contextual research.
The software citation and project publications identify the research record. DigitalChild code uses MIT; its project-authored data and documentation use CC BY 4.0 where specified. Original third-party documents retain their own terms. See data governance.
Repository records¶
Existing repository terms describe attribution and licensing. Contributions to a versioned repository become part of its public history; earlier versions and downloaded copies may remain after a correction. Public issue records can expose personal or confidential information, so they are unsuitable for sensitive material.
