At PeerJ we've always been concerned about the security of your information and privacy. For example, we've always had end-to-end secure HTTPS web browsing and manuscript submission tools.
With privacy laws around the world changing, we've updated our Privacy Policy to be more transparent in describing how we secure your information and respect your privacy. Key updates are:
Explaining how your data is encrypted when transmitted and stored;
We will never knowingly send you marketing-related messages without your consent;
Describing how we put you in control of your information and rights;
Specific information for European Economic Area residents;
Reiterating that our reason for using your information is for academic publishing purposes
