How i-Scholar collects, uses, and safeguards your personal information.

i-Scholar is dedicated to maintaining the trust of researchers, academicians, and institutions who rely on its platform for scholarly publishing and journal discovery. The privacy of every visitor and registered user is treated with the utmost care, and the platform follows established data protection principles to ensure that personal information is handled responsibly. Whether someone is browsing journal indices, submitting an article, or managing a subscription, their interactions are governed by clear practices around data collection and usage. This commitment to transparency means that users can engage with the rich repository of research content across engineering, science, medicine, and social sciences with confidence in how their information is being managed.

When individuals access i-Scholar, certain standard technical data may be collected automatically, such as browser type, device information, and usage patterns. This helps the platform improve its search functionality, refine journal recommendations, and enhance the overall user experience. Additionally, information provided voluntarily during registration or article submission—such as name, institutional affiliation, and email address—is used solely for the purposes of account management, communication about submissions, and processing journal subscriptions. i-Scholar does not sell or share this personal data with unrelated third parties, ensuring that academic and professional details remain protected within the scholarly community.

Cookies and similar tracking technologies may be employed on the i-Scholar platform to facilitate efficient navigation, remember user preferences, and support the advanced search features that allow researchers to locate specific articles across disciplines like biotechnology, computational mathematics, and public health. These tools are designed to be minimal and functional, never intrusive. Users typically have the option to manage cookie preferences through their browser settings. The platform does not use cookies for behavioral advertising or any purpose unrelated to its core mission of connecting scholars with high-quality research content from Indian and international journals across a broad spectrum of academic fields.

i-Scholar takes appropriate technical and organizational measures to safeguard personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, or loss. This includes secure server infrastructure, encrypted data transmission where applicable, and restricted access to sensitive information. The platform reserves the right to update its privacy practices periodically to reflect changes in legal requirements or operational improvements, and users are encouraged to review the policy from time to time.
