2. Why we collect data (purposes & legal bases)

  • Editorial workflow & publication: to receive, review, edit, publish, preserve, and index scholarly content (contract/legitimate interests).

  • Communication: decision letters, revision requests, reviewer invitations and reminders (contract/legitimate interests).

  • Indexing & discoverability: deposit metadata/DOIs with Crossref and share metadata with indexing/archiving services (legitimate interests).

  • Integrity & compliance: similarity checks (e.g., plagiarism detection), ethics records, and audit trails (legitimate interests/legal obligations).

4. How we share data

We share data only as needed to operate the journal:

  • Editorial participants: editors and (blinded) reviewers.

  • Service providers: platform hosting/IT support; preservation networks (e.g., PKP PN/LOCKSS); indexing/abstracting services (e.g., Crossref for DOI deposits; other indexers per journal listing); similarity-check services (e.g., iThenticate) for submitted content.

  • Public metadata: upon publication, article metadata and files are publicly available under the journal’s open-access license.

  • Legal compliance: we may disclose information when required by law or to protect users and the integrity of the scholarly record.

5. Data location & international transfers

Servers and service providers may be located outside your country. By using this site, you consent to cross-border data transfers subject to reasonable safeguards.

6. Data retention

  • Published record: article files and metadata are retained permanently to preserve the scholarly record.

  • Manuscripts not accepted: retained for a limited period for audit and integrity checks, then deleted or anonymized.

  • Accounts & logs: retained as long as needed to operate the service and meet legal/audit requirements; server logs are kept only as long as necessary for security and troubleshooting.

7. Your rights

Subject to applicable law (e.g., GDPR), you may access, rectify, erase, or export your personal data; request restriction or object to processing; and withdraw consent where processing relies on consent. To exercise rights, contact us (see Section 10).

8. Security

We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards (least-privilege access, encrypted transport, role-based permissions, backups). No method is 100% secure; we strive to protect data and will act promptly on any suspected breach.

9. Children’s privacy

This site and its services are intended for academic users. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16 (or the age defined by local law). If you believe a minor has provided data, please contact us.
