AMKR publications prioritize the relationship with our clients and acknowledge the significance of respecting and safeguarding your personal information and privacy. This policy outlines the principles for handling (collecting, storing, and utilizing) any personal information that you provide to us or that we obtain from other sources.

Please carefully read this policy as it outlines what you can expect from us and provides our contact details if you have any questions or concerns regarding how we handle your personal information.

Data protection legislation grants you several rights to safeguard yourself against any mishandling of your personal information by an organization. It is crucial for you to comprehend these rights, and within this document, we have outlined what these rights entail and how you can exercise them concerning the processing of your personal information by the journal.

The information you provide to us may include your full name, email address, financial or credit card details, affiliation (department and institution), job title, or subject specialism. Additionally, users may optionally provide their phone number, address, ORCiD, a short biography, profile picture, Internet Protocol (IP) address used, and their browser type and version.

We regularly back up our databases and utilize reputable cloud service providers such as Amazon, Google Cloud or other providers to guarantee their secure storage. Our backups are frequently rotated, and any outdated data is permanently deleted. Furthermore, we strictly adhere to an internal data handling policy that limits access to the data and backups solely to key employees.

Personal information is solely used for the purpose of delivering the services offered by the publisher. Personal data is not shared with any external parties, except for author names, affiliations, emails, and links to ORCiD and social media accounts (if provided), which may be displayed within published articles and books. These details may also be shared externally with indexes and databases. In the case of a journal operating under open peer review, reviewer details are published alongside the article for transparency.

If any changes are made to this policy, we will provide detailed information on this page. If deemed appropriate, we may also send you the details via email. We recommend that you visit this page regularly to stay updated on any changes or revisions to this policy.
