Privacy Statement

Rheinforum, operated by Academic Publishing House LLC, is committed to protecting the personal data of authors, reviewers, and website visitors in accordance with the principles of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

What We Collect

We collect author names, affiliations, and email addresses solely for the purposes of manuscript processing, editorial correspondence, DOI registration, certificate issuance, and indexing submissions.

How We Use Your Data

Personal data submitted through our OJS portal is used exclusively for editorial and publication purposes. We do not sell personal data, and we do not share it with third parties beyond what is operationally necessary — for example, DOI registration agencies and indexing services required to publish and disseminate your work.

Your Rights

Under GDPR, you have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, to request correction of inaccurate data, and to request erasure of your data, subject to our legitimate need to preserve the scholarly record. To exercise these rights, contact the editorial office.

Cookies

Our website uses only essential cookies required for basic site functionality. We do not use tracking or advertising cookies without explicit consent.
