Privacy Policy

Scope

This policy explains how the journal collects, uses, and safeguards personal data of authors, reviewers, editors, and readers who interact with our website and editorial systems.

What we collect

• Contact and affiliation information provided during submission or correspondence.
• Manuscript files and reviewer reports (used only for editorial decision-making).
• Basic technical logs (IP address, browser, pages viewed) for security and analytics.

How we use it

To manage the peer-review process, publish accepted work, contact authors and reviewers, comply with legal obligations, and improve the website.

Sharing

We do not sell personal data. Reviewer identities are confidential (double-blind). Article metadata (author names, affiliation, abstract) is shared with indexing partners for discovery.

Retention

Manuscript records are kept for the duration of the peer-review process and for a minimum of five years after publication, in line with archival good practice.

Your rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data by writing to the editorial office at visvasamvidimrj@gmail.com.

Cookies

The website uses a small number of essential cookies to preserve session state. No advertising or cross-site tracking cookies are used.
