Scopus Journal Indexing ("we," "our," or "us") places a high priority on safeguarding your privacy and is dedicated to upholding the security and confidentiality of your personal information, all while delivering a customized and valuable experience. This Privacy Policy serves to delineate our data collection, processing, and utilization practices, and it empowers you, the individual whose data is involved (referred to as the "Data Subject"), to make informed decisions about the handling, access, and correction of your Personal Information. Should you have any inquiries or requests concerning your Personal Information or if you wish to seek clarification on our procedures, please don't hesitate to contact us via email at info@scopusjournalindexing.
We gather an array of personal information from individuals, which may encompass particulars like your name, gender, birthdate, address, email address, phone number, identification documents, referral source, and, for service providers, payment details such as bank or card information, billing address, and work/education history. Additionally, we may gather data such as your IP address, operating system, and browser type. On occasion, we might also acquire personal information from third-party service providers or publicly accessible sources to enhance our data records.
At our organization, we prioritize the privacy and security of your personal information. We are committed to using the data we collect strictly in accordance with this Privacy Policy, and we want to assure you that your Personal Information will never be sold to third parties without your explicit consent. Our commitment to safeguarding your data extends to various aspects of our operations, and we would like to elaborate on how we use your personal data:
To provide you with the best possible service, we may share your Personal Information with trusted Service Providers or our group companies. These partnerships support various aspects of our operations, including payment processing, statistical analysis, marketing support, site hosting, and customer support. Rest assured, these third parties are bound by strict confidentiality obligations and are prohibited from using your data for any purposes other than those outlined in this Privacy Policy.
If you would like to opt out of having your personal information shared with these third parties, please reach out to us at info@scopus journalindexing, and we will respect your preferences.
We operate globally, which means that your data may be transferred and accessed from various locations worldwide. However, this Privacy Policy continues to protect your data, even when transferred to countries outside the European Union. When you place an order on our website, you may choose a third-party payment processor to handle your payment securely. These processors have their own privacy policies that govern the collection and processing of your payment information.
Your banking, debit card, credit card, or other payment details are used solely for processing payment refunds to you. These third-party payment processors handle your information, including payment details, in accordance with their own privacy policies.
To maintain the security and integrity of our website, we may monitor Personal Information as necessary. In some cases, we may engage trusted third-party Service Providers to manage technical operations related to hosting the site. Information submitted via our contact form may be stored outside the European Economic Area on servers provided by our third-party hosting provider. We only disclose necessary Personal Information to these third parties to provide the services available on our site.
In cases where we act as a Data Processor, we process information in accordance with the instructions provided by Data Controllers (referred to as "Business Partners"). We comply with the terms and conditions specified in Controller/Processor Binding Agreements entered into with the Controllers and applicable regulations. We do not process this information for sub-processors (Sub-contractors) unless we obtain prior written consent from the Controller.
If the Controller grants general consent, we will inform them of any new sub-processor and establish contractual obligations with the sub-processor, taking full responsibility for their actions and omissions.
Upon written request from the Controller, we will delete or return all Personal Information or data after the end of the service provision, unless a legal obligation or basis requires us to retain such data for further processing.
Our foremost commitment is to ensure security and compliance by implementing essential technical and organizational measures to protect data security. We are dedicated to transparency, providing the Controller with all the requisite information to demonstrate our adherence to our obligations. Moreover, we facilitate audits and inspections by the Controller or their appointed auditor to ensure that our processing activities comply with regulatory requirements and protect data subject rights.
We retain the Personal Information you provide as long as your Account is active, or as needed to provide the Service(s), comply with legal obligations, maintain accurate financial records, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. If you want to close your account or request that we cease the use of your personal information, please get in touch with us at info@scopus journalindexing.
