Collection of personal information

JSKP may collect and use personal information necessary to process and publish manuscripts submitted to the journal. Collected data may include names, affiliations and contact details (postal address, email addresses, telephone and fax numbers), and any other information provided during submission.

Purposes of processing

We use personal information only for the following purposes:

• To process and manage manuscript submissions, peer review, and publication.
• To administer and operate this website and the submission system.
• To communicate with authors, reviewers and editors (including sending messages about manuscripts).
• To personalise the user experience on the site where applicable.
• To enable optional features such as location-based services, if used.

Disclosure to agents and legal obligations

When JSKP discloses personal information to service providers, agents, or subcontractors (for example, submission-platform providers, production vendors, or indexing services), those parties are required to process the data only for the purposes we specify and in accordance with this privacy statement.

JSKP may also disclose personal information when required by law or in connection with legal claims, to protect JSKP’s rights, or to comply with a court order or other legal process.

Data security and retention

JSKP will implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration or destruction.

Retention: Personal data will be retained only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described above, to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Where personal data is published as part of an article (for example, author names and affiliations), that information will remain publicly available as part of the published record.

Cross-border transfers

Personal information processed by JSKP may be stored and processed in the countries where JSKP or its service providers operate. By submitting information for publication on the website, you acknowledge that the information will be available worldwide.

Your rights

Depending on applicable law, individuals may have rights regarding their personal data, including rights to access, correct, restrict processing, object to processing, request portability, or request deletion of personal data. To exercise these rights or ask questions about our handling of personal data, please contact us at the address below.

Agents and subprocessors

JSKP may engage third-party service providers (such as submission system vendors, hosting providers, and indexing partners) who process data on our behalf. These parties are contractually bound to protect personal information and to use it only for providing services to JSKP.

We may update this Privacy Statement from time to time. Material changes will be published on the website; please review this page periodically.
