Privacy & Data Protection Policy

Global Insight Journal respects the privacy of its authors, reviewers, editors, readers, website visitors, and other users of its services. This Privacy Policy explains how the journal may collect, use, store, protect, and disclose personal information received through the journal website, manuscript submission process, peer-review system, publication activities, and editorial communication.

By using the website, submitting a manuscript, registering as an author or reviewer, or communicating with the editorial office, users acknowledge that they have read and understood this Privacy Policy.

Information We Collect

The journal collects data required strictly for legitimate scholarly publishing and editorial operations:

• Basic User Profiles (Names, Emails, Phone Numbers).
• Institutional Affiliations & Professional Designations.
• Verifiable ORCID iD Metadata Parameters.
• Submission Packages (Co-author details, Funding logs).
• Editorial Audit Data (Conflict forms, Reviewer suggestions).
• Basic Website Functionality Usage Data.
Utilization of Personal Data

Collected metrics are deployed strictly across authorized publishing workflows:

  • • Ingesting manuscript files and steering editorial choices.
  • • Managing active double-blind evaluation review rounds.
  • • Parsing article metadata bundles to public indexing services.
  • • Dispatching notifications, feedback, or support alerts.
  • • Resolving procedural appeals or data integrity inquiries.
Public Scholarly Record vs Peer Review Secrecy

Publicly Deployed Profiles: Upon formal paper acceptance, certain credentials required to preserve global citation tracking loops are published permanently as part of the public record. This includes author names, affiliation details, country coordinates, correspondence emails, ORCID iDs, funding statements, and author contribution codes.

Peer Review Secrecy: Reviewer identities, raw metrics forms, grading comments, and processing correspondence are treated as strictly confidential elements. Data stays fully concealed from third parties or authors unless legally mandated. Reviewers are explicitly prohibited from leveraging unpublished manuscript data blocks for personal, financial, or academic benefit.

Data Security & Cookie Policies

The interface deploys standard data encryptions, firewalls, and admin role limits to shield personal records from leaks or unauthorized modification. Functional cookies are activated to optimize user portal navigation, secure system logins, and audit site performance. Cookies do not scrape sensitive user variables and can be toggled off via browser controls, though this may alter platform functionality.

Third-Party Services & Data Retention

The journal coordinates with trusted hosting service vendors, DOI index tracking platforms, and metadata preservation partners. These networks process limited data packets necessary for system services under data privacy metrics. Information linked with accepted manuscripts remains permanently curated because published records form an unalterable fragment of scientific history.

Sovereignty Over Your Private Data

Authors, evaluation panels, and website guests can approach the central desk to formally request:

• Access to logged data files
• Correction of inaccurate profiles
• Clarification on data tracking tasks

Requests are handled cleanly under applicable legal requirements, editorial procedures, and the absolute requirement to preserve the continuity of the scholarly archive. The journal never sells, rents, or trades user details to third parties for commercial marketing.

Data Escapes During Misconduct Investigations

Please note that standard privacy parameters face modifications during formal publishing integrity audits. If text plagiarism, structural data fabrication, duplicate submission rings, or authorship conflicts are flagged, the journal reserves the right to disclose relevant correspondence files, logs, and submission data directly to parent universities, research ethics committees, legal bodies, or funding agencies.

Children's Privacy & Data Administration Support Contacts

The platform does not collect profiles from minors without institutional authorization. Studies intersecting minor populations must systematically document ethical board clearance codes. Outbound links pointing to database discovery servers remain outside our governance; users evaluate external privacy conditions independently.
