Privacy policy

ACIG is dedicated to protecting your personal information and will make every reasonable effort to handle collected information appropriately. All information collected will be handled with care in accordance with ACIG’s standards for integrity and objectivity and respect for your privacy. ACIG endeavors to comply with all laws and regulations that apply to the gathering and use of personal information, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation. This privacy policy describes the information we collect, the purposes for which it is used, and your choices regarding its use.

ACIG collects and uses personal information that is necessary for the processing and publication of submitted manuscripts in conformance with accepted publishing standards: name, title, email address, affiliation, and address. Authors may voluntarily provide additional information, such as the middle name, degree, ORCID iD (Open Researcher and Contributor Identifier), and areas of interest or expertise. Reviewers will be asked about their name, title, email address, and affiliation.

Upon your registration with the ACIG journal submission system, we will gather and store your username and password to identify you at sign-in and to administer your account.

If a paper is published, the following information appears as part of the paper: author’s name, academic title, email address, affiliation, ORCID ID, and any competing interests. The foregoing information will also be included in the article XML and syndicated to third parties. ACIG will ask reviewers individually for their permission to publish their names and affiliations on ACIG’s website.

ACIG shall not disclose Authors’ nor Reviewers’ information to a third party unless they are working directly with ACIG as a contractor, as part of maintaining our activities, products, or services. Such contractors are subject to a non-disclosure agreement. However, ACIG may also use this information internally, e.g., to evaluate and improve our business, respond to any questions, requests, or comments Authors or Reviewers make, for targeted marketing purposes, or to identify and prevent fraud, claims, or other liabilities. ACIG may contact you by e-mail to draw your attention to content that might be of interest to you (e.g. new services, products, or publications). You will have the chance to opt-out of receiving such e-mails by unsubscribing or contacting ACIG Support at contact@acigjournal.pl. ACIG will take reasonable technical and organisational precautions to prevent personal information loss, misuse, or alteration.

Should you have any questions about this privacy policy or ACIG's treatment of Authors’ and Reviewers’ personal information, please send an email to contact@acigjournal.pl.
