2. What we collect

Depending on how you use the site, we may process:

  • Contact data if you email us (name, email, message content)
  • Admin account data for editors who sign in (email, password hash, session tokens)
  • Technical logs (IP address, device/browser metadata, security events)
  • Cookie and similar preference data (see Cookie policy)

3. Purposes and legal bases

We process data only where we have a legal basis:

  • Legitimate interests — publishing the journal, securing the site, preventing abuse
  • Contract / pre-contract — responding to messages you send us
  • Consent — non-essential cookies/analytics/marketing where offered
  • Legal obligation — where retention or disclosure is required by law

4. Recipients and processors

We use service providers who process data on our instructions:

  • Hosting and edge delivery (e.g. Vercel)
  • Database hosting (e.g. Neon)
  • Email/infrastructure providers as needed

5. International transfers

Some providers may process data outside the EEA/UK. Where that happens, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent mechanisms required by applicable law.

6. Retention

We keep support messages for a reasonable period; admin accounts while active and for a short wind-down; technical logs for shorter security windows; marketing data until you withdraw consent or we delete inactive lists.

7. Your rights

Where GDPR (or UK GDPR) applies, you may request access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection to certain processing, and you may withdraw consent at any time without affecting prior lawful processing. Contact us at the email above. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

Supervisory authority (seat-dependent): [TO BE CONFIRMED: supervisory authority for your seat, e.g. UODO in Poland].

8. Children

The site is aimed at adults. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 16. If you believe a child provided data, contact us to delete it.

9. Changes

We may update this policy. The “last updated” date will change; material changes may be highlighted on the site or by email where appropriate.
