Privacy Policy

Last updated 8 October 2026

This policy explains how Journal Quality & Compliance, a service operated by Batiha Scientific Publishing Corporation Inc., handles information submitted for a journal readiness review.

Information we collect

We collect the contact details, journal title, website, ISSN, publisher information, policy links and notes submitted with a request. We also create service records, retained public evidence, review decisions and deliverable files.

How we use it

We use this information to assess the request, perform the agreed review, prepare and deliver the report and workbook, provide the included re-check, maintain service records and respond to support or legal obligations.

Website measurement

We count public-page views and views of the sample section in daily totals, grouped by page and a limited link label (email, LinkedIn or unknown). These counters do not use cookies, browser storage, advertising identifiers or individual visitor records. We do not store IP addresses, full referring URLs or search queries in these counters. When a request is submitted, its limited link label may be saved with the service record. We respect browser Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control signals for this measurement. Hosting providers may separately process technical logs to operate and secure the site.

Public-source evidence

The review uses publicly available journal pages and bibliographic sources. A dated copy or reference may be retained so findings can be checked later. Public information is not treated as confidential merely because it appears in a submitted request.

Sharing and service providers

Information is shared only with providers needed to host, secure, communicate, invoice and operate the service, including website hosting, email delivery and PayPal Business, or when required by law. We do not sell client information. Submitted material is not published as a case study without separate permission.

Retention

Request records, retained evidence and deliverables are normally kept for up to 12 months after final delivery, then deleted or anonymised. Billing and legal records may be retained longer where required by law.

Your choices

You may request access, correction or deletion of information you supplied, subject to legal and operational requirements. Email privacy@jqcreview.com and include your request reference when available.
