Privacy Policy.
This policy explains how Scopus Peer Review Submission collects, uses, stores and protects information submitted through this website and during service delivery.
1. Information we collect
We may collect your name, email address, phone or WhatsApp number, organisation, project details, target journal, deadline, correspondence, enquiry history and information contained in documents you voluntarily provide.
2. How we use information
Information is used to assess requests, prepare quotations, communicate about projects, deliver agreed services, provide support, maintain service records, prevent misuse and comply with legal or security obligations.
3. Manuscripts and confidential materials
Research files are treated as confidential project materials. Access is limited to authorised personnel and specialists who need the information to assess or complete the agreed work. We do not claim ownership of your original research.
4. Legal basis and consent
We process information when it is necessary to respond to your request, perform an agreed service, protect legitimate business and security interests, meet legal obligations or act on your consent. You may withdraw optional consent at any time.
5. Service providers and disclosure
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be shared with trusted hosting, email, communication, file-storage or payment providers where required to operate the service. Information may also be disclosed where required by law or necessary to protect rights and security.
6. Retention
Enquiry and project information is retained only for as long as reasonably needed for service delivery, support, accounting, dispute handling, legal compliance and security. Files may be deleted earlier when the agreed service and retention requirements permit.
7. Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect information. No online transmission or storage system is completely risk-free, so clients should avoid sending unnecessary sensitive data and should use agreed secure transfer methods for confidential files.
8. Cookies and website data
The website may use essential cookies or local storage required for navigation, forms, security and administration. Any optional analytics or marketing technology added later should be disclosed and, where required, activated only after consent.
9. Your choices and rights
Subject to applicable law, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction or a copy of personal information held about you. To make a request, email info@scopuspeerreviewsubmission.com. We may need to verify your identity before acting.
10. Policy updates
We may update this policy when services, legal requirements or technology change. The latest version and effective date will be published on this page.
