The journal Education in the 21st Century processes personal data in strict compliance with international data protection regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
1. Data Collection and Usage
The personal data collected from registered and non-registered users (including, but not limited to, names, institutional affiliations, and email addresses) falls exclusively within the scope of the standard functioning of peer-reviewed journals. This data is utilized solely to facilitate the rigorous editorial and peer-review processes, to inform readers about the authorship of published content, and to manage the structural communication of the journal.
2. Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure
The Editorial Board categorically guarantees that any personal information entered into this digital platform will be used exclusively for the explicitly stated academic purposes of this publication. Such data will absolutely not be disseminated, sold, or made accessible to any unauthorized third party, nor will it be utilized for extraneous commercial or unsolicited marketing purposes.
3. User Rights and Data Retention
Registered users, including authors and peer reviewers, possess the statutory right to access, rectify, or request the definitive erasure of their personal profile data from the journal's database at any time. However, data inherently tied to the published academic record (such as author attribution and metadata on published articles) is subject to overriding permanent archival mandates and cannot be expunged, ensuring the historical integrity of scientific research.
