If you are an author, your manuscript may be shared with peer reviewers. For published articles, your name, affiliation and ORCID will be publicly available. We may also disclose information in the event of a legal obligation. It is important to note that we never sell, rent or trade your personal data for marketing purposes.
We use robust technical and organizational measures to protect your data from unauthorized access or disclosure, including encryption and access controls. We retain your data for as long as necessary for the purposes indicated and for legal/academic archiving purposes. Published content is permanently archived.
