International Journal of Applied Information Systems (IJAIS) is intent on protecting your privacy. The following explains how we treat personal information that we collect and receive, including information related to your past use of IJAIS products and services. By “personal information” we mean information about you that is personally identifiable like your name, address, email address, or phone number, and that is not otherwise publicly available. This policy only applies to IJAIS and its employees.
When you submit a typrescript to IJAIS, we collect information such as your name, email address, institution, expertise and the like. This information may be combined with information we obtain from public sources, business partners, or other companies. Once you apply for publication, and sign in to our services, you are not anonymous to us. We may also collect other information when you visit IJAIS pages or the pages of certain IJAIS partners. Security of such information is a high priority for us. For some products we may also ask for your address or credit card information. Be assured that credit card information is encrypted and stored only on secure machines.
