How we collect, use, and protect your personal information.
This Privacy Policy explains how Directive Publications collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards personal information when you use our website and services. We are committed to handling your data lawfully, fairly, and transparently.
We do not sell personal information. We share data only as necessary to provide our services (for example, registering DOIs with Crossref, which requires article and author metadata) or where required by law. Published article metadata, including author names and affiliations, is part of the public scholarly record.
Subject to applicable law, you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, and you may object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact [email protected]. Note that information forming part of the published scholarly record cannot generally be removed.
We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described or as required by law, and we apply appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect it. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to safeguard your data.
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected on this page with a revised effective date.
