Privacy Statement

Privacy statement
The Economics of Development journal guarantees that all personal data, including names and email addresses, provided during the submission of articles and other communications with users, will be used exclusively for purposes related to the journal's editorial process. This data will not be shared with third parties or used for any purposes other than those explicitly defined in this privacy policy.

 

Data privacy policy
The Economics of Development journal collects personal data from both registered and non-registered users, which includes, but is not limited to, contact information for the editorial process. This data is used to facilitate communication between authors, reviewers, and the editorial team, as well as to provide readers with information about authorship and content editing.

The collected data is processed according to the standard procedures of scholarly peer-reviewed journals and is used to improve the peer review, publication, and communication processes within the journal.

 

Responsibility of authors for personal data
Authors who publish their work in the Economics of Development journal are responsible for ensuring the legality and correctness of the use of personal data for individuals who participated in the research that is being submitted for publication. Specifically, authors must guarantee that research participants have given voluntary informed consent to participate in the studies and to the publication of the results, and that their personal data will be stored and processed in compliance with all ethical standards and confidentiality requirements.

 

Compliance with GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)
The Economics of Development journal strictly adheres to the requirements of the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which ensures the rights of data subjects. Specifically, we guarantee:

  1. Right of Access: each individual has the right to access their personal data stored by the journal and to obtain information about how it is processed.
  2. Right to Rectification: individuals have the right to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
  3. Right to Erasure (“Right to be Forgotten”): individuals can request the deletion of their personal data if it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.
  4. Right to Restriction of Processing: individuals can restrict the processing of their personal data in certain cases.
  5. Right to Data Portability: individuals have the right to receive their personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and to transfer it to another data controller.
  6. Data Protection by Design and by Default: the journal ensures that personal data is processed with a high level of confidentiality at all stages of processing, and access to it is limited to individuals directly involved in editorial activities.

 

Consent for data processing
In addition, the journal follows the principle of “data subject consent.” This means that all participants in the publication process (authors, reviewers, editors) must give explicit consent for the processing of their personal data when such data is necessary for the editorial process or other functions of the journal.

 

Data protection according to ethical standards
Authors, reviewers, and editors are required to adhere to confidentiality and data protection standards established by international norms, including GDPR. All participants in the publication process must ensure proper protection of personal data and follow ethical publication principles to avoid violating the rights of data subjects.

 

Access to data on request
All personal data underlying the publications may be made available for access upon official request, but only after the consent of the author or other responsible person. Interested parties must submit a request to the journal's editorial team, specifying the purpose for using the data. The editorial team will forward this request to the author for review, and if agreed upon, further actions will be organised in accordance with ethical standards.

 

Recognition of public interest
GDPR also acknowledges the public interest in data accessibility, which is particularly relevant for scientific publications, as it supports the integrity of scientific records and allows for open access to research.

 

Refusal to provide data
If authors do not agree to provide their data, the editorial team has the right to refuse access, considering the confidentiality restrictions or ethical norms associated with the data.
