Privacy Statement

Editora Alumni IN, publisher of the journal, is responsible for processing the personal data collected on this site. Requests may be sent through the journal’s Contact page.

• Account and authorship data: name, email, affiliation, country, ORCID iD, biography and areas of expertise (for reviewers).
• Submission data: manuscripts, supplementary files, letters to the Editor, reviews and editorial correspondence.
• Technical data: IP address, browser and device information, and session cookies required for the system to work.

Data are processed to manage accounts, submissions and peer review; to publish and index articles; to communicate with authors, reviewers and editors; to meet legal and ethical obligations; and to protect the integrity of the editorial process, including similarity checks. Processing is based on the performance of the service requested by the user, on the legitimate interest in scholarly publishing and on legal compliance, in accordance with Brazilian Law No. 13.709/2018 (LGPD) and, where applicable, Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR).

The journal uses double-blind review. Reviewers’ identities are not disclosed to authors, and authors’ identities are not disclosed to reviewers. Manuscripts under review are confidential and may not be shared or used by reviewers and editors for any other purpose.

Names, affiliations, ORCID iDs, abstracts and the full text of accepted articles are published openly and are deposited in indexing and registration services (such as Crossref, ORCID and academic databases). Because of the scholarly record, published authorship data cannot be removed, but errors can be corrected.

The site uses session cookies required for login and navigation. It may also use aggregated visitor statistics and third-party widgets (such as visit counters) that process technical data like IP address and approximate location. These tools are not used for advertising. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, but some features may stop working.

Your email address is used for system notifications (submission, review and publication) and for editorial messages. Invitations to review and calls for papers are sent in connection with the journal’s activities, and you can ask not to receive optional messages at any time.

Personal data are not sold or used for advertising. They may be shared only with service providers needed to operate the site (hosting, email and similarity-check tools), with indexing services as described above, or when required by law. Some providers may be located abroad; in that case, the journal adopts the safeguards required by applicable law.

Account data are kept while the account is active. Submission and review records are kept as long as needed for editorial, audit and legal purposes. Published content remains permanently available.

You may request confirmation of processing, access, correction, anonymization or deletion of unnecessary data, portability, information on sharing, and withdrawal of consent, among other rights provided by the LGPD (art. 18) and, where applicable, the GDPR. You can edit most of your data in your user profile; for other requests, use the journal’s Contact page. In Brazil, you may also contact the National Data Protection Authority (ANPD).

The journal adopts reasonable technical and administrative measures to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss or misuse.

This statement may be updated; the current version is always the one published on this page.
