JIEEd does not sell personal information or use editorially collected data for unrelated commercial marketing.

The journal respects applicable data protection requirements, including Indonesian Law Number 27 of 2022 on Personal Data Protection.

2. Collection and Use of Personal Information

  • Support indexing, DOI registration, and digital preservation.

  • Maintain website functionality, security, and editorial records.

Only information reasonably necessary for these purposes should be collected and processed.

3. Confidentiality and Peer Review

JIEEd applies a single-anonymous (single-blind) peer-review system, in which reviewers may know the authors' identities, while reviewer identities remain confidential to authors.

Unpublished manuscripts, reviewer reports, editorial correspondence, and supplementary materials are treated as confidential.

Access is limited to authorized individuals involved in the editorial and publication process. Confidential information must not be disclosed, distributed, or used for unauthorized purposes.

Relevant publication metadata may be shared with DOI registration agencies, indexing services, and digital preservation systems.

Personal information may also be accessed by authorized technical service providers or disclosed when required by applicable law, subject to appropriate safeguards.

The journal's CC BY-SA 4.0 publication license does not override individual privacy rights or participant confidentiality.

JIEEd is committed to applying reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or disclosure.

Personal information is retained only as necessary for legitimate publishing activities, scholarly recordkeeping, institutional requirements, or applicable legal obligations.

The OJS platform may use essential cookies and technical session information to support authentication, functionality, and security. Additional website services, where implemented, must comply with applicable privacy requirements.

In the event of a personal data security incident, appropriate assessment, corrective action, and legally required notifications will be undertaken.
