Privacy Statement

I. Information Disclosure & Third-Party Integrity

The Journal of Contemporary Human Insights (JCHI) follows strict rules to protect your personal and professional details. Any information you share with us is used only to manage the journal and improve the scholarly record. We promise never to sell or trade your personal data with outside companies for marketing. We only share data with our website hosting partners and global indexing services like Scopus and DOAJ to make sure your work is recognized worldwide. If your paper is published, only basic details like your name and university will be shown publicly.

II. Editorial Confidentiality & Peer Review Privacy

We deeply respect the privacy of everyone who works with us. For Authors, this means we keep your unpublished manuscripts and contact details safe while they are being reviewed. For Reviewers, we guarantee that your identity remains hidden under our double-blind review system. This allows for honest and fair feedback. All emails, reviewer notes, and internal reports are kept private and are only used by the editorial team to make decisions about the research.

III. Data Protection & Digital Security

JCHI uses a strong security system to keep your data safe. We use high-level encryption and secure servers to prevent any unauthorized access or data loss. Our team constantly checks these systems to make sure our digital archives are protected. Only a small number of authorized staff members who have signed confidentiality agreements can access sensitive information. This ensures your data is protected from the moment you submit your work until it is permanently archived.

IV. Data Retention & Permanent Archiving

As a scholarly journal, we have a responsibility to maintain a permanent record of science. We keep the personal data associated with published articles (such as author names and affiliations) indefinitely to ensure the research remains part of the historical academic record. For manuscripts that are not published, we keep the data for a reasonable time to manage our records before securely removing it. This helps us maintain the integrity of our editorial process and follow global publishing ethics.

V. Website Functionality (Cookies)

To make our website work better for you, we use "cookies." These are small digital files that help you stay logged in and allow us to see how visitors use our site. They do not take any personal information from your computer. Instead, they are simply tools that help the Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform run smoothly. By using our website, you agree to the use of these tools, which are necessary for a modern and easy-to-use digital journal.

VI. Direct Correspondence & Support

Honest communication is the foundation of our journal. If you have any questions about our privacy rules or how we handle your data, please contact the JCHI Editorial Office. We are happy to help and will answer your concerns quickly and professionally. We want you to feel confident and secure every time you interact with our journal.
This policy is maintained in accordance with COPE guidelines and global indexing standards.
