We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information.
Sharing
We share information only with service providers that help us run our website and communications, such as our web hosting and email providers, and only as needed to provide those services. If you contact us on WhatsApp, WhatsApp’s own privacy policy also applies. Our website loads fonts from Google Fonts, which means your browser connects to Google’s servers.
How long we keep it
We keep enquiries and correspondence for as long as needed to respond to you and to manage any publication, and as required by law. Published articles, with author names and affiliations, remain part of the permanent journal record. Visitor statistics are kept in anonymised form.
