Privacy Policy - Journal Editors
Last updated 02 Aug 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Technology Fist handles personal data for journal editors using Article Management System.
As a journal editor, you have administrative access to your journal's author, reviewer, and submission data on an ongoing basis across volumes/issues. You're responsible for handling that data in line with this policy and your journal's own commitments to its participants.
- 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.
