Privacy Policy
This policy explains what information IJVAST collects, how it is used, and the choices available to you.
Information We Collect
We collect information you provide when registering an account, submitting a manuscript, or contacting us — including name, affiliation, email, and any submitted manuscript content. We also collect basic technical data such as IP address and browser type for security and analytics.
How We Use Information
Information is used to operate the journal: managing submissions, peer review, publication, communications with authors and reviewers, payment processing for article processing charges, and improving the platform.
Sharing
We do not sell personal data. We share information only with service providers required to operate the journal (e.g., payment processors, email delivery, hosting) and as required by law.
Cookies
We use essential cookies for authentication and session management. Analytics cookies, if used, are aggregated and anonymized.
Your Rights
You may request access, correction, or deletion of your personal data by contacting us. Published manuscripts and editorial records may be retained for the integrity of the scholarly record.
