Information Collected and Its Purpose

Depending on the individual's role, information may include names, email addresses, institutional affiliations, countries, ORCID identifiers, academic profiles, research interests, reviewer or community-service expertise, user-account information, and professional correspondence.

Manuscript-processing information may include Blinded Manuscripts, separate Title Pages & Author Information Forms, authorship and CRediT declarations, funding, conflicts of interest, ethics and consent information, institutional and community-partner permissions, AI disclosures, data availability statements, acknowledgements, supplementary files, peer-review reports, author responses, revisions, editorial correspondence, decisions, and publication metadata.

Information is used for submission, screening, section-specific peer review, revision, authorship and declaration verification, production, author communication, DOI and metadata administration, indexing and discovery, preservation responsibilities, complaints, appeals, research-integrity procedures, and legitimate journal administration.

These purposes apply to both editorial sections: Article, accepting Research Paper and Literature Review Paper manuscripts, and Community Partnerships and Impacts, accepting Community Service Article manuscripts. Relevant information is handled according to each section's submission requirements and authorized editorial responsibilities.

After final scientific-editorial acceptance, relevant affiliations, APC or waiver status, reviewer-discount eligibility, official invoices, payment confirmations, and refund records may be processed for authorized financial administration. These activities remain separate from scientific evaluation and do not independently authorize changes to substantive findings, community-service outcomes, interpretations, or authorship.

The platform may process browser or device details, access times, session and authentication information, and server logs for technical operation, account security, troubleshooting, and protection against misuse.

Confidentiality and Public Disclosure

Unpublished manuscripts, separate Title Pages, reviewer identities, confidential reports, private correspondence, non-public author information, community-participant records, and restricted supporting materials are handled through appropriate access controls and authorized editorial procedures consistent with double-anonymous peer review. Access is limited according to legitimate academic editorial, administrative, production, integrity, or technical responsibilities.

Author-identifying Title Page information is not ordinarily provided to independent reviewers. Authorized editors and journal personnel may access relevant information for authorship verification, ethical assessment, administration, integrity procedures, and publication preparation. Submission of information through a Title Page does not mean that every item is intended for public release.

Confidential information must not be disclosed or used for unauthorized personal, professional, commercial, competitive, publication, or research purposes. It must not be uploaded to external AI systems or automated services where authorization, confidentiality, and appropriate data protection cannot be assured.

Published articles and metadata may include author names, affiliations, ORCID identifiers, designated corresponding-author contact information where appropriate, titles, abstracts, keywords, editorial sections, manuscript types, CRediT contributions, funding, applicable declarations, DOI information, publication dates, volume and issue details, copyright, and licensing statements.

Relevant public metadata may be distributed to DOI, indexing, discovery, citation, repository, library, and other scholarly services. Private administrative contact details, telephone or WhatsApp information, payment records, confidential ethics documents, participant records, and restricted editorial files are not automatically made public through article publication or metadata registration.

Community-Participant and Partner Information

Community Service Article submissions may contain information about participating institutions, community partners, implementation locations, activities, participant involvement, evaluation procedures, outcomes, and supporting documentation. Personal or sensitive information must be handled under applicable consent, confidentiality, research-ethics, and publication requirements.

Authors should avoid including unnecessary personal identifiers in manuscripts and supplementary materials. Identifiable photographs, quotations, participant details, and other protected records require appropriate permission and publication consent where applicable. Participation in an activity does not by itself establish permission to publish identifiable personal information.

Confidential permissions, consent documentation, participant records, or other supporting materials requested for editorial verification should be provided through authorized channels. Information needed to verify ethics or implementation must be distinguished from information suitable for public disclosure. Legitimate restrictions protecting participants, communities, and institutions must be respected.

Data Retention, External Services and Individual Requests

Information may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary for journal operations, security, applicable legal or contractual obligations, research integrity, dispute resolution, recordkeeping, and preservation of the scholarly record. Confidential editorial histories and supporting documents may require continued retention for accountability and verification, subject to applicable obligations.

Authorized hosting, publishing, and technical service providers may process relevant information for their assigned functions. External DOI, ORCID, indexing, discovery, citation, and repository services operate under their respective privacy arrangements. This statement does not govern unrelated external services or establish active external preservation coverage.

ACSR does not sell personal information to advertisers, data brokers, or unrelated third parties for commercial marketing purposes.

ACSR and its publisher, Yayasan Pendidikan Bukhari Dwi Muslim, seek to apply reasonable administrative and technical safeguards. No online platform can guarantee absolute security. Users should protect their credentials and promptly report suspected unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse.

Individuals may contact the Editorial Office about account information, access, correction, deletion where applicable, confidentiality, or other privacy concerns. Requests are assessed under applicable requirements and legitimate retention, security, editorial, and publication-integrity responsibilities. Inaccurate non-public information may be corrected through authorized procedures where appropriate and technically feasible.

Information forming part of the published scholarly record may require a transparent correction or notice rather than deletion. Changes must respect applicable privacy requirements while preserving the accuracy, provenance, citation history, and traceability of the record. Material changes must not be concealed through undocumented replacement or silent alteration.

This statement may be updated when workflows, infrastructure, service arrangements, security measures, or information-handling requirements change. The version published on the official ACSR website represents the journal's current public privacy statement. Updates do not authorize undocumented changes to legitimate historical editorial or bibliographic records.

Email and administrative messaging may be used for inquiries and clarification. Confidential manuscripts, reviewer reports, author-identifying documents, participant records, and integrity materials should be handled through authorized information-management procedures and should not be disclosed unnecessarily through informal messaging.
