This Privacy Policy describes how Read and Research Publications (RRP) collects, uses, maintains, and protects personal information obtained through our journals website and associated publishing platforms. RRP is committed to safeguarding the privacy, confidentiality, and security of authors, reviewers, editors, and website users. By accessing or using our website, you agree to the terms outlined in this policy.

When users visit our website, certain non-identifiable information may be automatically collected and recorded in web server log files. This may include IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, date and time of access, and referring websites. This information is collected solely for analytical, technical, and system administration purposes and does not identify individual users. No personally identifiable information is stored in connection with routine browsing activity.

If users choose to register on our website, submit manuscripts, apply as reviewers, or communicate with us, we may collect personal information voluntarily provided by them. Such information may include full name, email address, institutional affiliation, academic qualifications, professional title, contact details, ORCID ID, research interests, subject expertise, and billing information where applicable. This information is collected strictly for legitimate academic publishing and operational purposes.

RRP does not sell, rent, or trade personal information to third parties. Personal data is used exclusively for processing manuscript submissions, managing peer review and editorial decisions, communicating with authors and reviewers, publishing accepted articles, maintaining journal records, improving website functionality, preventing plagiarism or unethical practices, and sending relevant updates such as calls for papers or publication announcements. Users may opt out of receiving promotional or informational emails at any time by using the unsubscribe option included in such communications.

All manuscripts submitted to our journals are treated as confidential documents. In cases where double-blind peer review is followed, reviewer identities remain confidential. Personal data is accessible only to authorized editorial and administrative personnel. Reviewers and editors are expected to maintain strict confidentiality and may not use unpublished materials for personal benefit.

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to enhance user experience, maintain login sessions, and analyze website traffic. Users may disable cookies through their browser settings; however, certain features of the website may not function properly if cookies are disabled.

RRP implements appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect personal information from unauthorized access, misuse, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Access to personal data is restricted to authorized personnel only. Limited information may be shared with editorial board members for manuscript processing, with DOI registration and indexing agencies for publication purposes, or when required by law to comply with legal obligations or to protect the rights and safety of RRP and its users.

Our website may contain links to external websites for reference, indexing, or informational purposes. Once users leave the RRP website and access third-party websites, they become subject to the privacy policies of those respective websites. RRP is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of external sites.

Users have the right to request access to their personal data, request correction of inaccurate information, request deletion of personal information where legally permissible, and withdraw consent for marketing communications. Such requests may be submitted through the contact details provided on our website.

RRP reserves the right to modify or update this Privacy Policy at any time without prior notice. Any changes will be posted on this page with the updated revision date. Users are encouraged to review this policy periodically to remain informed of how their information is protected.
