Privacy Commitment & Scope
RAME Publishers is dedicated to safeguarding the privacy and personal data of authors, peer reviewers, editors, and academic readers. This Privacy Policy details the nature of the personal information collected across our platforms, the lawful grounds for processing, the technical measures employed for data protection, and your individual rights under global data privacy regulations.
Information Collection & Use
We collect personal and technical information necessary to deliver transparent, high-integrity scholarly publishing services:
- User & Author Details: When registering, submitting an article, or accepting reviewer invitations, we collect details such as full name, institutional affiliation, academic degree, professional email address, postal address, and ORCID identifier.
- Editorial & Review Records: We maintain structured records of reviewer evaluations, editorial correspondence, manuscript revision histories, and copyright assignment documentation.
- Technical Log Data: For system security, spam prevention, and server performance monitoring, our systems log IP addresses, browser types, session timestamps, and referral pages.
Data Disclosure & Sharing Safeguards
RAME Publishers enforces strict data protection principles regarding user records:
- Zero Commercial Sale: We do not rent, sell, monetize, or trade personal contact details or user directories to third-party commercial marketers.
- Service Infrastructure Partners: Controlled data access is shared exclusively with certified technical partners under binding non-disclosure agreements (e.g., Crossref DOI registration, digital archiving repositories like Internet Archive and PKP PN, and institutional payment gateways).
- Legal Compliance: Information may be disclosed only when required by applicable law, court subpoenas, or to prevent fraudulent activity and copyright infringement.
Web Cookies & Tracking Technologies
Our website employs standard session cookies to optimize navigational performance, authenticate logged-in accounts, and ensure responsive page loading. Users retain the browser-level discretion to disable or block cookies; however, certain portal modules (such as manuscript tracking or login dashboards) may exhibit limited functionality.
Security Protocols & Data Retention
We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards—including SSL encryption, firewall filtering, and restricted internal database access—to protect personal data against unauthorized interception or loss. Published research metadata remains permanently preserved in public repositories to sustain the immutable scholarly record.
External Hyperlinks & Policy Updates
Our web pages may provide hyperlinks to external university directories, academic societies, and indexing services. RAME Publishers is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party platforms. Any revisions to this policy will be posted on this page with an updated timestamp.
