This Privacy Policy describes how SciQuorum collects, uses, stores, and protects your personal information when you use our website or engage with our research and publication support services. By accessing our site or submitting information through service requests, you agree to the data practices outlined in this Policy. If you do not agree with any part of this Policy, you should discontinue the use of our website and services immediately. SciQuorum reserves the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time, and continued use of our platform constitutes acceptance of any changes.
SciQuorum collects personal and professional information necessary to deliver our services effectively. This includes your name, email address, phone number, institutional affiliation, manuscript files, research documents, datasets, communication records, service preferences, and any additional materials you choose to submit. We may also collect technical information automatically through cookies and analytics tools, such as your IP address, device type, browser information, and usage patterns, to enhance website performance and user experience.
We use your information to deliver, manage, and improve our services. This includes reviewing manuscripts, conducting data analysis, editing documents, communicating project updates, processing payments, and preparing deliverables. Your information may also be used to enhance the functionality of our website, personalize user experience, send service-related notifications, and share important updates related to SciQuorum’s offerings. We may retain anonymized statistical data for internal research and service improvement purposes.
SciQuorum treats all manuscripts, research data, drafts, and academic materials with the highest level of confidentiality. Your content is never shared, distributed, or disclosed to third parties except as required to perform the contracted service. All work is handled only by authorized experts who are bound by strict confidentiality agreements. We do not claim ownership of your intellectual property, and all rights to your original work remain solely with you.
SciQuorum does not sell or rent your personal information to any third party. We may share your information only with trusted service providers or internal team members who assist in delivering your project, such as editors, analysts, writers, or quality reviewers. These individuals are contractually obligated to maintain confidentiality. We may also disclose information if required by law, regulation, legal process, or to protect the rights, safety, or integrity of SciQuorum.
SciQuorum implements strong administrative, technical, and physical protections to safeguard your personal information and research materials. Our security practices include access restrictions, secure communication channels, encrypted storage, and continuous monitoring. Despite our security efforts, you acknowledge that no online platform can guarantee absolute protection, and we cannot be held liable for breaches outside our reasonable control.
We retain your personal data and project materials for only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Policy. Manuscripts, research files, and project documents may be stored temporarily for revision, quality assurance, or reference unless you request deletion. Administrative and financial records may be retained longer to comply with legal, tax, and regulatory requirements. When data is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or anonymized.
You have the right to access, review, update, or request deletion of your personal information at any time. You may also withdraw consent for communication or restrict the use of your data for non-essential purposes. If you wish to exercise any of these rights, you may contact SciQuorum through the information provided on our Contact page. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe and assist you in managing your data preferences.
