The names, email addresses, and any other personal details entered in this journal site will be used exclusively for the operational, editorial, and scholarly purposes of this journal. We highly value the trust that our authors, reviewers, editors, and readers place in us when they share their personal information, and we are fully committed to protecting and preserving that trust.

Any information you provide to this site—whether during the registration process, while submitting a manuscript, participating in peer review, or corresponding with the editorial team—will be kept strictly confidential. It will be used only for activities directly related to the management and publication of scholarly content within this journal. These activities may include, but are not limited to, editorial communication, managing peer review assignments, sending notifications about submission status, providing updates related to journal policies or publications, and maintaining accurate authorship and contributor records.

Under no circumstances will the personal data you provide be shared with third parties for commercial purposes, promotional use, or any unrelated activity. We do not sell, rent, exchange, or otherwise disclose any personal information to advertisers or external organizations. The information remains strictly within the scope of editorial operations and will be accessible only to authorized personnel such as editors, journal managers, and system administrators who require it for journal-related tasks.

We also understand that privacy includes the right to control one’s own data. As such, users have the ability to update or correct their personal details at any time through their user profiles. If you wish to deactivate your account or request the removal of your data (subject to editorial and archiving policies), such requests will be honored wherever possible within the framework of scholarly publishing norms.

All personal data is stored securely within our system. We take appropriate measures to ensure that all digital infrastructure, including data storage and access controls, is protected from unauthorized access, misuse, alteration, or loss. While we strive to maintain the highest standards of data protection, users are also encouraged to maintain secure passwords and avoid sharing login credentials with others.

From time to time, we may collect limited technical information such as IP addresses, browser types, and access logs, solely for the purposes of improving site functionality, ensuring security, and understanding general usage trends. This information is anonymized and never used to track or identify individuals.

This journal may use cookies to enhance user experience and streamline certain functions such as login sessions or user preferences. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help the site function properly. You can choose to disable cookies through your browser settings, though this may affect some features of the site.

We reserve the right to update this privacy statement in order to reflect changes in our practices or to comply with evolving legal and regulatory standards. Any significant changes to how we handle personal data will be communicated clearly through the journal’s website or via email notifications when applicable.

By using this journal site—whether as a submitting author, reviewer, editor, or general user—you acknowledge that you have read and understood this privacy statement and consent to the collection and use of your personal information as outlined above. If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding your personal data or how it is used, we encourage you to contact the journal’s editorial team or site administrator directly.
