Privacy Statement

Your privacy is important to ICSS. This privacy statement provides information about the personal information ICSS collects, and how ICSS uses that personal information.

Collection of personal information

We collect and use personal information that is necessary for the processing and publication of manuscripts submitted to us. This information may include your name, affiliation, and contact details; including postal address, email, telephone number, and fax number.

Use of personal information

Any personal information received by ICSS will only be used to: process and publish your manuscript, administer this website, personalize the website for you, enable your access to and use of the website services, process your manuscript, publish your manuscript, send you communications about your manuscript, send you statements and invoices, collect payment from you, and send you marketing communications.

If ICSS discloses your personal information to its agents or subcontractors for these purposes, such agents or subcontractors will be required to use that personal information following the terms of this privacy statement.

In addition to disclosures reasonably necessary for the purposes identified elsewhere above, ICSS may disclose your personal information to the extent required by law, in connection with any legal proceedings or prospective legal proceedings, and to establish, exercise, or defend its legal rights.

In addition, personal information you submit for publication on the website will be published on the internet and may be available worldwide.

You consent to such cross-border transfers of personal information.

You should check this page occasionally to ensure you are aware of any changes.

Authors who publish their manuscripts through Innovations in Community Service and Sustainability (ICSS) also agree to the following:

  1. Copyright for the scientific manuscripts in this Journal is held by the Author.
  2. The Author transfers the right when first publishing the Scientific Manuscript and simultaneously the Author grants permission/license by referring to the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License to other parties to distribute their scientific work while still including credit for the author and ICSS Journal as the first Publication media for the work.
  3. Matters related to the non-exclusivity distribution of the Journal that publishes the author's scientific work can be agreed upon separately (for example: a request to place the work in question in an institution's library or publish it as a book) with the Author as one of the parties and with appreciation to the ICSS Journal as the first publication media for the work.
  4. Authors can and are expected to announce their work online (for example in the Repository or on the Organization/Institution page) before and during the manuscript collection process because this effort can increase the exchange of citations earlier and with a wider scope.
