By using ScholarsView, you acknowledge that information may be collected and used as described in this Policy. Where applicable, we will seek consent or provide other appropriate choices before processing personal information.

The information we collect depends on how you interact with ScholarsView.

Information you provide: This may include your name, email address, contact number, professional or profile information, creator application information, and other information you voluntarily provide when contacting us or applying to become a creator.

Publishing information: Information associated with articles, creator profiles, submissions and other content you publish or submit through ScholarsView may be stored and displayed as part of the platform.

Website and usage information: We may collect information about how visitors interact with the website, such as pages visited, general usage activity, referring information and technical information provided by browsers or devices.

Article usage information: ScholarsView may record qualified article views and related usage information to understand article engagement and improve the platform.

ScholarsView uses analytics tools to understand how visitors use the website and to improve the platform. This may include information such as pages viewed, approximate usage patterns, device or browser information and other analytics data.

We currently use Google Analytics to measure website usage and understand overall traffic and engagement. Google may process information according to its own privacy practices.

ScholarsView may measure article engagement to understand which content is being read and how the publishing platform is being used.

A qualified article view may be recorded when a visitor remains on an article for a defined period of time. This information is used for aggregate engagement measurement and platform improvement.

If you apply to become a ScholarsView creator, we may collect information necessary to evaluate and process your application, including contact and profile information.

If your application is approved and you create a creator account, information associated with your creator profile may be displayed publicly where necessary for the operation of the publishing platform.

Creators are responsible for ensuring that information they submit to ScholarsView is accurate and that they have the necessary rights to provide that information.

If you subscribe to communications from ScholarsView, we may use your email address to deliver the communications you have requested.

You may unsubscribe from non-essential subscription communications where an unsubscribe mechanism is provided. Certain service-related communications may still be sent when necessary to operate an account or provide a requested service.

ScholarsView and its third-party service providers may use cookies, local storage or similar technologies where necessary to provide functionality, maintain sessions, understand website usage or improve the service.

Some technologies may be placed or used by third-party services integrated with the website, including analytics services.

ScholarsView uses third-party services to operate certain parts of the platform. These services may process information on our behalf or provide functionality required by the website.

These services may include hosting, database and authentication infrastructure, analytics, email or other technical services used by the platform.

Third-party providers may have their own privacy policies and terms governing their processing of information.

ScholarsView does not intend to sell personal information to third parties.

Information may be shared with service providers where reasonably necessary to operate, secure, maintain or improve the platform.

We may also disclose information where required or permitted by applicable law, legal process, or to protect the rights, safety and security of ScholarsView, our users or others.

Some information submitted for publication may become publicly visible. This can include creator names, biographies, profile information, article content and other information that forms part of a public creator or article page.

You should avoid submitting private or sensitive information that you do not want publicly displayed as part of published content or a creator profile.

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information against unauthorised access, misuse, alteration, disclosure or loss.

However, no internet-based service or method of electronic storage can guarantee complete security. Users should also take reasonable steps to protect their account credentials and devices.

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including providing services, maintaining creator and publishing records, complying with legal obligations, resolving disputes and maintaining security.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the purpose for which it was collected.

Depending on applicable law, you may have rights relating to your personal information, including rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of certain information, and to withdraw consent where consent is the basis for processing.
