Privacy Policy - Authors
Last updated 02 Aug 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Technology Fist handles personal data for authors using Article Management System.
As an author, the personal data we collect includes your name, email, affiliation, and the content of your submissions (title, abstract, files, and author list). Payment-related information (if you pay an APC) is limited to what's needed to confirm your payment - see the Refund Policy for how payments themselves are handled.
- We use your data only to operate the platform: managing your account, processing submissions/reviews/decisions, sending relevant notifications, and (where applicable) processing payments.
- We do not sell personal data to third parties. Data may be shared with the specific conference/journal you're interacting with, since that's the nature of the service.
- If a venue uses the separate Publishing platform, an accepted paper's author names, affiliations, title, and abstract are deposited with Crossref (a nonprofit scholarly infrastructure organization) as part of DOI registration - this becomes permanent, publicly visible metadata, distinct from your regular account data, and is not something we can later delete on your behalf once registered.
- Data is retained for as long as your account or the relevant conference/journal remains active, plus a reasonable period for legal and record-keeping purposes.
- You may request a copy of, correction to, or deletion of your personal data (subject to what a venue needs to retain for its own academic/legal record-keeping, and subject to the Crossref-deposited metadata above) by contacting the conference/journal directly or Technology Fist.
- We use standard technical safeguards (access controls, encrypted connections) to protect your data, though no online system can be guaranteed 100% secure.
