Privacy PolicyIngenius Journal is committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of our authors, reviewers, and readers. To provide a high-quality scholarly publishing experience, we collect specific information including personal account details such as names, email addresses, professional affiliations, and contact information provided during the registration process. Furthermore, we collect submission data consisting of manuscripts, cover letters, and supporting files, as well as peer review data including confidential reviewer comments, ratings, and related correspondence. We also gather usage data, such as IP addresses, browser types, and interaction metrics via cookies, to ensure our website functions effectively and to improve our digital services.
The information we collect is used exclusively to facilitate the scholarly publishing process. This includes managing the editorial workflow—from coordinating peer reviews to communicating with authors—and the formal publication of accepted works. Upon publication, author names and affiliations are displayed publicly and metadata is shared with academic indexing databases such as Crossref and Google Scholar to ensure research visibility. We may also use your contact details to send essential updates regarding your submission or relevant journal news.
We maintain a strict policy against selling your personal data. Disclosure only occurs in specific contexts, such as the public display of author information upon manuscript acceptance, or through the use of trusted third-party service providers for web hosting and plagiarism detection services like Turnitin. While we may disclose information if required by law to comply with legal processes, we implement industry-standard security measures to protect all manuscripts and personal data from unauthorized access or alteration. Please be aware that no internet-based transmission is entirely secure. Under data protection laws such as the GDPR, you maintain the right to access, correct, or request the erasure of your personal data; however, please note that published articles typically cannot be removed once they have become part of the permanent scholarly record.
