MJMS collects personal information that you provide directly, including your name, email address, institutional affiliation, ORCID iD, and correspondence during the manuscript submission and peer-review process. We also collect standard server log data including IP addresses and browser user-agent strings for security and audit purposes.

Personal information is used exclusively for editorial and publication purposes: processing manuscript submissions, coordinating peer review, communicating editorial decisions, publishing accepted articles, and sending journal-related notifications. We do not use your information for commercial marketing or share it with third parties for marketing purposes.

If you authenticate via ORCID, we receive your ORCID iD and associated public profile data. This is used solely for author identification and attribution. MJMS complies with ORCID's data usage policies.

We may share your information with indexing databases (such as CrossRef for DOI registration) and our managed PostgreSQL database provider as necessary for publication and archiving. All data processors are bound by appropriate data protection agreements. We do not sell personal data.

We retain submission and author records for the duration of the journal's operation, which is standard practice in scholarly publishing to maintain the scholarly record. Contact form submissions are retained for a reasonable period for administrative purposes.

You have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal data, subject to legal and contractual obligations. To exercise these rights, contact us at editor.mjms@indoglobaljournals.com.

The MJMS website uses only essential functional cookies necessary for site operation. We do not use tracking, advertising, or analytics cookies without your explicit consent.

We implement appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, or disclosure. All data is stored on secure, encrypted infrastructure.

For any privacy-related queries, contact the editorial office at editor.mjms@indoglobaljournals.com.
