Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2026

Information We Collect

When you submit a manuscript or contact us, we collect the information you provide — such as your name, email address, affiliation, and the content of your submission or message.

Our servers automatically record standard technical information (such as IP address and browser type) in access logs for security and operational purposes.

How We Use Information

We use the information you provide to operate the editorial and publishing workflow: to process submissions, manage peer review, communicate decisions, issue and confirm Article Processing Charges, and publish accepted articles.

We use contact-form information solely to respond to your enquiry.

Sharing & Third Parties

Author names and affiliations appear publicly on published articles, as is standard for scholarly publishing. We do not sell your personal information.

Information is shared with editors and reviewers only as required to conduct peer review, and with service providers (such as email and hosting) strictly to operate the platform.

Cookies

The public reading site does not use tracking or advertising cookies. Signed-in areas may use a strictly necessary session cookie to keep you logged in.

Your Rights & Contact

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information by contacting info@watchplusjournals.com. We retain records as needed to maintain the scholarly record and to meet legal and operational obligations.
