Privacy policy.

IJMRI is committed to protecting the privacy of all authors, reviewers, visitors, and users who interact with our website and services. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and safeguard your information. By using our website, you agree to the practices described below.

1. Information We Collect

We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide during article submission, account creation, or communication with us. This may include your name, email address, institutional affiliation, country, ORCID ID, and any manuscript files you upload.
When you make a payment, the transaction is handled by secure third-party processors. IJMRI does not store your card information.

2. How Your Information Is Used

Your information is primarily used to process and review submissions, communicate with you, publish accepted manuscripts, issue certificates, assign DOIs, and provide technical or editorial support. We may also use anonymous usage information to improve our website’s performance and user experience. All communication related to your submission is handled in a confidential and professional manner.

3. Sharing of Information

IJMRI does not sell or exchange personal information with outside parties.
However, certain details may be shared when necessary. Author information and manuscript content may be shared confidentially with editors and reviewers during the peer-review process. Published articles, including author details, may be shared with indexing databases, DOI agencies, and academic archives as part of the publication process.
We may also share information if required by law, court order, or to protect the security and rights of the journal, its users, or the public. In some cases, trusted service providers such as hosting services, indexing partners, or analytics tools may receive limited information required to perform their functions.

4. Data Storage and Security

All collected information is stored on secure servers and protected using industry-standard security measures. These include encryption, controlled access, and regular monitoring. Despite our efforts, no online system is completely immune to security risks, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection.

5. Use of Cookies

Our website uses cookies to support essential functions such as login sessions, user preferences, and basic site analytics. Cookies help us provide a smoother browsing experience. You may disable cookies through your browser settings, though some website features may not work correctly as a result.

6. Data Retention

Information related to published articles is stored permanently as part of the academic record. Submission details and communication logs may be kept for administrative and editorial purposes. Authors may request removal of personal information only if the manuscript has not been published or is not under active review. Published articles cannot be deleted except under retraction policy guidelines.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to review and update your personal information, request corrections, ask questions about how your data is used, or request deletion where applicable. To exercise these rights, please contact us directly at our official journal email.

8. External Links

Our website may contain links to other academic resources or external services. IJMRI is not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those websites. We encourage users to review the privacy policies of any external sites they visit.

9. Children’s Privacy

We do not intentionally collect information from individuals under the age of 16. If we discover that such information has been submitted to us, it will be removed promptly.

10. Updates to This Policy

We may revise our Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Continued use of our website after changes indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
