Privacy Policy

Legal Research & Analysis is committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of all users, including authors, reviewers, editors, and readers, in compliance with applicable data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) where relevant. Personal information collected (e.g., names, email addresses, affiliations, ORCID iDs) via the journal's website or submission system is used solely for the purposes of managing submissions, peer review, editorial processes, publication, and journal-related communications. It will not be shared with third parties for marketing or unrelated purposes, nor sold or rented to any entity. Data may be shared anonymously and in aggregated form with the journal platform provider (e.g., Open Journal Systems / Public Knowledge Project) for system improvements, or with trusted service providers (e.g., for hosting or analytics) under strict confidentiality agreements.

The journal uses cookies for essential functions, such as session management and site navigation. Analytical cookies (e.g., via Google Analytics) track anonymous usage to improve user experience. Users may manage cookie preferences through browser settings. Registered users may receive automated emails related to submissions, reviews, or journal updates. Corresponding authors' email addresses will be published with articles for contact purposes.

Users have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict their personal data—contact the editorial office for requests. Data is retained only as long as necessary for journal operations or legal requirements; inactive accounts may be anonymized or deleted. We implement reasonable security measures to protect data but cannot guarantee absolute security in online transmission. This policy applies to data collected through the journal site and may be updated periodically. Continued use constitutes acceptance of changes.
