Privacy Policy

1. Scope

This policy applies to information processed through the White Black Legal website and journal-related forms or services. Separate terms, forms or agreements may apply to manuscript publication, copyright, payments or other specific services.

2. Information We May Receive

Information may include details you provide directly, such as your name, email address, phone number, affiliation, manuscript information, messages, career-application details and files you choose to upload. Hosting, security and technical systems may also process routine technical information needed to operate and protect the website.

3. How Information May Be Used

• To receive and manage manuscript submissions and author communications.
• To respond to enquiries, career applications and support requests.
• To operate certificate verification, paper tracking and other journal functions.
• To maintain website security, troubleshoot problems and improve service delivery.
• To comply with applicable legal or administrative obligations where required.

4. Service Providers & Limited Sharing

Information may be processed by service providers that support hosting, email, forms, communications, security, document handling or other operational functions. Information may also be shared when reasonably necessary for the editorial or publication process, or where disclosure is required by applicable law. The journal does not intend to disclose personal information for unrelated purposes.

5. Retention

Information may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary for journal administration, publication records, author support, legal requirements, security or legitimate operational needs. Retention periods may differ depending on the type of record.

6. Security

Reasonable administrative and technical measures may be used to protect information. However, no internet transmission, email service or electronic-storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

7. Children's Privacy

The journal's services are intended for academic and professional users. If you believe a child has provided personal information inappropriately, contact the journal so the situation can be reviewed and appropriate action considered.

8. External Links & Services

The website may link to external research platforms, payment services, social networks or other third-party websites. Their privacy practices are controlled by those providers and should be reviewed separately.

9. Access, Correction or Privacy Requests

Subject to applicable law and legitimate record-keeping requirements, you may contact the journal to ask about personal information you submitted, request correction of inaccurate contact details, or raise a privacy concern. Sufficient information may be required to verify and process the request.

10. Changes to This Policy

This policy may be updated when website features, journal processes or legal requirements change. Material updates will be reflected on this page by changing the “Last updated” date.
