Privacy Statement

JOURNAL INFORMATION

 

Legal Autonomous Web-based Governance (LAW) is committed to respecting and protecting the privacy and confidentiality of all individuals involved in the journal's editorial, peer-review, and publication activities. This Privacy Statement explains how personal information collected through the journal website and Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform is used and handled.

The names, email addresses, institutional affiliations, professional information, and other personal details entered into the LAW journal website will be used exclusively for purposes related to journal management, manuscript submission, editorial correspondence, peer-review administration, publication, and scholarly communication.

Personal information provided during user registration and manuscript submission may include the author's full name, institutional affiliation, email address, country, mailing address, professional biography, ORCID identifier, and other information required by the OJS platform. Such information is used to facilitate the identification of registered users, communication between authors and the editorial team, manuscript processing, and the administration of the journal's publishing activities.

For manuscript evaluation, personal information may also be processed as necessary to facilitate communication and coordination among authors, editors, and reviewers. LAW applies a double-blind peer-review process, in which the identities of authors and reviewers are kept confidential from one another throughout the review process. Personal information obtained through the submission and review process will be handled in a manner consistent with this principle.

Information submitted to the journal will not be used for purposes unrelated to the journal's academic and publishing activities or made available to unrelated third parties for commercial, promotional, or other unauthorized purposes. Access to personal information is limited to individuals who require such information to perform their respective editorial, reviewing, administrative, or publishing responsibilities.

Authors, reviewers, editors, and registered users are expected to provide accurate and appropriate personal information when using the journal website. Users are also responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their account credentials and ensuring that their account information remains accurate and up to date.

Personal information will be handled with due regard for privacy, confidentiality, and applicable data protection requirements. Information may be retained as necessary for legitimate editorial, publication, scholarly recordkeeping, and administrative purposes, subject to applicable legal requirements.

By registering an account, submitting a manuscript, or participating in the editorial and publication processes of LAW, users acknowledge that their personal information will be processed in accordance with this Privacy Statement and used exclusively for the stated purposes of the journal.

For questions or concerns regarding the use of personal information, users may contact the Legal Autonomous Web-based Governance (LAW) editorial office through the contact information provided on the journal website.

The names and email addresses entered in this journal site will be used exclusively for the stated purposes of this journal and will not be made available for any other purpose or to any other party.
