Confidentiality / privacy policy


CMU Privacy Notice details can be found on the University Legal site.

Third Party Services are governed by their own privacy policies. We recommend you review the Privacy Notice governing any Third Party Services before using them.

Limited data may be collected by LPS for four purposes:

  • Any time the LPS is contacted via email or our contact form (e.g. sender’s email address)
  • For registration and log-in of LPS-supported platforms (e.g. name, email address, and country)
  • To monitor our infrastructure for bugs or security issues
  • And the use of non-intrusive cookies to anonymously track readership

If you have any concerns about the above, contact us to discuss any data we may have about you. You have the right to withdraw your consent to our use of this data. The Right to Erasure may not apply to authors of a submitted work — it is necessary for us to retain identifying data to recognize you as the author of a published and indexed text.

Data from creators and contributors is only shared for the purposes of publication. The LPS respects that unpublished manuscripts and content are a creator’s private, confidential property. Names, contact information, and content entered on LPS sites will be used exclusively for the stated purposes of the respective publication and will not be made available for any other purpose or to any other party. Editors, project managers, and any relevant project staff are required to keep information confidential, sharing only information internally only as is necessary for the evaluation, review, and publication process. No content will be discussed publicly prior to acceptance and publication without the content creator’s approval.

Policies regarding blind review are outlined by individual publications. Review individual journal sites for details.

Janeway uses two cookies, one for sessions and one for tracking views and downloads and we don’t store any information about anonymous views/downloads as we use the cookie’s uuid rather than the users IP. Cookies are used for maintenance of login sessions, for security (prevention of CSRF), and for tracking readership using the COUNTER method.
