Privacy Statement

The Journal of Education and Human Development (JEHD) is committed to protecting the privacy of everyone who interacts with the journal — authors, reviewers, editors, and readers alike. Personal information shared with us is handled responsibly, used only for legitimate editorial and publishing purposes, and never treated as a commodity.

1

Information We Collect

During manuscript submission, peer review, and editorial handling, JEHD collects only the information necessary to carry out the publication process. This includes:

  • Personal Details — name, institutional affiliation, email address, and contact information.
  • Academic Identifiers — ORCID iD or other professional identifiers you choose to provide.
  • Manuscript Information — details required for submission, peer review, and editorial correspondence.
  • Voluntary Information — anything shared through our contact form, newsletter signup, or direct correspondence with the editorial office.

We do not collect information beyond what is reasonably required to manage submissions, coordinate peer review, and communicate with authors and reviewers.

How Your Information Is Used

Personal information submitted to JEHD is used solely for purposes connected to the publishing process — evaluating and processing manuscripts, notifying authors and reviewers of submission status, coordinating peer review, supporting editorial decisions, and producing, formatting, indexing, and archiving published work. Your information is never used for marketing or any purpose unrelated to operating the journal.

3

Data Protection and Security

We apply appropriate administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect personal data from unauthorized access, use, modification, or loss. Access to submitted data is limited to individuals who require it to carry out publishing-related responsibilities, and all such individuals are expected to maintain strict confidentiality.

4

Information Sharing

JEHD does not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise share personal information with third parties for commercial or marketing purposes. Information may be disclosed to third parties only where essential to the publishing process — for example, production, typesetting, or archiving partners — or where required by law.

5

Confidentiality of Peer Review

JEHD follows a double-blind peer review process. Reviewer identities, editorial correspondence, and review comments related to a submitted manuscript are kept strictly confidential and shared only with those directly involved in reviewing that manuscript.

6

User Rights and Responsibility

Authors, reviewers, and editors are responsible for ensuring the information they provide is accurate and kept up to date, as outdated contact details are a common cause of delays in editorial communication. Submitting a manuscript or otherwise participating in JEHD's editorial process constitutes acceptance of this Privacy Statement.

Policy Updates

This Privacy Statement is reviewed periodically to remain consistent with evolving data protection standards, publishing practices, and regulations. Any significant changes will be reflected here so that authors, reviewers, and readers always have access to our current approach to personal data.
