Privacy Statement

The Academic Achievement Review (AAR), published by DaibaBani, is committed to maintaining the highest standards of data protection, privacy, and confidentiality across its digital publishing workflows. The data collected from registered users of this journal site falls within the scope of standard operations for peer-reviewed, open-access scholarly journals.

1. Collection and Scope of Personal Data

To facilitate the submission, peer review, and publication processes, AAR collects essential personal data, which may include:

  • Full Name, Institutional Affiliation, and Country.
  • Contact details (including Primary and Alternative Institutional Email addresses).
  • Research profiles, academic interests, metadata keyword tags, and ORCID iDs.

2. Purpose and Processing of Personal Data

The names, affiliations, and email addresses entered into this journal site will be used exclusively for the explicitly stated operational purposes of this journal and will not be made available for any other purpose or shared with third parties. Specifically, data is collected to:

  • Track, evaluate, and guide manuscripts through the Double-Blind Peer Review workflow.
  • Communicate editorial decisions, revisions, copyediting requests, and production proofs.
  • Accurately publish author metadata alongside final open-access papers to guarantee clear global citation harvesting and discoverability (via Crossref, DOAJ, and Google Scholar).
  • Invite qualified registered users to act as domain-specific external peer reviewers.

3. Data Protection and Third-Party Disclosure

The Editorial Office of AAR and the technical administration at DaibaBani enforce strict digital access boundaries. Your data will never be sold, bartered, or leased to third-party marketing entities, commercial networks, or external service providers. Information is only visible to authorized editorial participants (Editors, Section Editors, and Technical Production Managers) strictly on a need-to-know basis to preserve the confidentiality of the peer-review pipeline.

4. Scholarly Integrity and Long-Term Archiving

In accordance with COPE-aligned publication ethics and international open-access infrastructure requirements, basic bibliographic metadata associated with published articles (including author names, affiliations, and ORCID records) forms a permanent historical public ledger. This permanent scholarly record cannot be modified or removed post-publication to protect the tracking integrity of international citation networks and preservation services (such as PKP PN, LOCKSS, or CLOCKSS).

5. User Rights

All registered users maintain full control over their private profile information via their OJS dashboard. You may log in at any time to modify your contact parameters, alter your reviewing preferences, or withdraw your account from active editorial consideration by contacting the Editorial Office directly at info@daibabani.in.
