Privacy Policy

Believers Journal of Health Sciences (BJHS) is committed to protecting the privacy and personal information of authors, reviewers, editors, readers, and website visitors. This Privacy Policy explains what information the journal may collect, how it is used, stored, shared, and protected in connection with manuscript submission, peer review, publication, and use of the journal website.

1. Information Dataset Collection

BJHS collects operational information necessary exclusively for publishing tasks, encompassing:

• Full name, academic title, and home university affiliations
• Verified email coordinates and operational contact details
• Permanent ORCID iD or active researcher identifiers
• Text details, declarations, funding logs, and conflict files
• Reviewer domain profiles, validation comments, and histories
• Editorial correspondence and inbound desk records
• Limited technical website data (IP coordinates, device specs, browser types, and essential cookies)
2. Utilization of Personal Information

Personal datasets are utilized strictly for legitimate operational journal workflows, including:

• Receiving, screening, and tracking manuscript submissions through review channels.
• Running double-blind peer evaluation gates and verifying user identity profiles.
• Launching permanent article metadata, author indices, and Crossref DOI assignments.
• Meeting regulatory indexing, legal preservation, and ethical COPE publishing requirements.

Absolute Guarantee: BJHS does not sell, rent, lease, or trade personal data assets to external third-party entities.

3. Disclosed Metadata Parameters

For accepted papers, the platform renders public bibliographic indexes to guarantee scientific tracking, listing:

Author Names • University Affiliations • Country • ORCID iDs • Corresponding Contact Details • Funding References • Conflict of Interest Declarations • CRediT Contribution Statements • IRB Ethical Approval & Trial Registration Codes
4. Manuscript Confidentiality & Data Sharing Bounds

Unpublished text streams are protected confidential assets. Editors and reviewers are barred from copying, distributing, or leaking unpublished materials. Under the double-blind review framework, identity details between authors and reviewers remain hidden.

Relevant material data is shared only with processing coordinators (board members, peer reviewers, technical copyeditors, production service networks, DOI registrars, and archiving frameworks). In serious integrity misconduct events, data files may be routed to home university research boards or legal authorities.

5. Security, Cookies & Data Retention Systems

Cookies: Essential site log tools handle performance and safety tracking. Visitors can disable cookies inside browser settings, though technical features might be limited.

Security: BJHS enforces robust technical safeguards against unauthorized exposure or loss. Given that internet lines lack absolute containment parameters, users must avoid sending non-essential sensitive personal profiles.

Retention: Records are logged as long as required to support international archiving rules. Published metadata indices remain permanent parts of the global historical scholarly record.

6. Personal Rights & Third-Party Redirection Limits

Registered accounts retain rights to access their stored personal logs, correct factual inaccuracies, update workplace affiliations, or drop non-essential message settings. Note that changes affecting live published article parameters face limits to protect the integrity of the scholarly archive.

The platform incorporates links to external repositories or databases; BJHS preserves no administrative control over the privacy architectures or security profiles of third-party websites.
