Privacy Statement

The Scientific Journal of Dermatology and Venereology (SJDV) and its publisher, Phlox Institute: Indonesian Medical Research Organization, are committed to protecting the privacy of everyone who interacts with the journal, including authors, reviewers, editors, and readers. This statement explains what personal information the journal collects, how it is used, and how it is protected.

Information We Collect

The journal collects the personal information that users provide when they register or interact with the journal, which may include names, affiliations, e-mail addresses, postal addresses, telephone numbers, ORCID identifiers, and professional or biographical details. Information is collected through the journal's online submission and account-registration system.

How We Use This Information

The names and e-mail addresses entered in this journal site will be used exclusively for the stated purposes of this journal and will not be made available for any other purpose or to any other party. Specifically, personal information is used to manage the submission, peer-review, editorial, and publication processes; to communicate with authors, reviewers, and editors; and to administer user accounts.

Publication of Author Information

Authors should be aware that the names, affiliations, e-mail addresses, and ORCID identifiers of authors are published with their articles and are transmitted, together with the article metadata, to indexing services and to Crossref for the registration of Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs). This information therefore becomes part of the permanent, publicly available scholarly record.

Disclosure to Third Parties

The journal does not sell, rent, or otherwise disclose personal information to third parties, except as necessary to operate the journal (for example, DOI registration and indexing as described above) or where required by law.

Data Security and Retention

The journal takes reasonable measures to protect the personal information it holds against loss, misuse, and unauthorised access. Personal data are retained for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described above and to maintain the integrity of the scholarly and editorial record.

Your Rights and Contact

Users may request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information held about them, subject to the journal's obligation to preserve the published scholarly record. Requests and any questions regarding this privacy statement may be addressed to the editorial office at editor.sjdv@gmail.com.
