Our Commitment to Privacy
SeascapeID Publisher, managed by Yayasan Pilar Abadi Nusantara, is committed to safeguarding the privacy of authors, reviewers, readers, and all visitors to our platform.
This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and how we handle it. By using our services, you agree to the practices described herein.
Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly — such as name, email address, institutional affiliation, and manuscript details when you register or submit an article. We also collect technical data automatically, including IP addresses, browser type, pages visited, and session duration through cookies and server logs.
How We Use Your Information
Your information is used to manage account registration, facilitate peer review and editorial workflows, send submission status notifications and editorial correspondence, improve the platform's performance and user experience, and comply with legal obligations. We do not use your data for unrelated commercial purposes.
Data Sharing
We share data only where necessary: with peer reviewers (anonymised under double-blind review), with Crossref for DOI registration, with indexing services such as Google Scholar and GARUDA, and with service providers bound by confidentiality agreements. We never sell your personal data to third parties.
Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures including encrypted HTTPS connections, access-controlled databases, and regular security reviews. While we take every reasonable precaution, no digital transmission is completely secure, and we encourage you to use strong, unique passwords for your account.
Cookies & Tracking
Our platform uses essential cookies to maintain sessions and preferences, and analytics cookies to understand usage patterns. You may disable non-essential cookies through your browser settings; however, certain site features may not function correctly without them.
Data Retention
We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services. Published article metadata is retained indefinitely to maintain the scholarly record. You may request deletion of account data at any time, subject to our obligations to maintain the integrity of the published archive.
Your Rights
You have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal data we hold about you. You may also object to processing or request data portability. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at admission@seascapeid.com. We will respond within 30 days.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated by posting a notice on our website. Continued use of our services after changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
