THE RADPAC Journal, published by SPJ Publications, takes your privacy seriously. We protect the personal information of authors, reviewers, readers, and everyone who visits our website. This policy explains in simple words what information we collect, how we use it, how we keep it safe, and your rights. When you use our website or send us a manuscript, you agree to these rules.
We only collect the information that is really needed to run the journal properly. This includes your name, email address, your institution or workplace, the manuscript files you submit, and payment details if you pay Article Processing Charges (APCs). We also collect some basic website usage data through cookies, such as your IP address, browser type, and the time you visit the site.
We use your information only for journal-related work. This means handling manuscript submissions, organizing peer review, making editorial decisions, sending emails about your paper or review tasks, keeping proper records, doing internal reports, archiving published work, and securely processing any payments. We never sell your personal information. We also do not share it with anyone for marketing, advertising, or any commercial purpose.
We take strong steps to protect your information. We use secure websites, encryption for important data like submissions and payments, limited access rules, and only allow authorized people (such as editors, staff, and necessary technical helpers) to see your data when they really need to.
Our website uses cookies and similar tools to make the site work better, track how visitors use it, and create simple usage statistics. These cookies do not usually identify you personally. You can control or turn off cookies anytime through your browser settings.
We only share your information in very limited cases: with trusted service providers who help run the journal (like our submission system, archiving services, or payment processors) — and they are required by contract to keep everything confidential and follow strict privacy rules; when the law requires us to share it; or to protect the legal rights, safety, or security of the journal or our users.
We keep your personal information only for as long as it is needed to do the work described in this policy, follow legal requirements, solve any disputes, or preserve the permanent scholarly record. Published articles, peer review records, and important journal communications are kept securely for a long time.
You have the right to ask to see the personal information we hold about you, to correct anything that is wrong, or to request deletion of your data (where the law allows it). If you want to exercise any of these rights or have questions, just contact us.

We may update this policy from time to time because of new laws, new technology, or changes in how we work. Any new version will be posted on the website. If you continue to use the site after we make changes, it means you accept the updated policy.
