We also occasionally collect information that is made publicly available on social media websites. You can control how much of your information social media websites make public by visiting these websites and changing your privacy settings.

Additionally, we may share information in the event of mergers, legal processes, or to protect our rights and the safety of others. We ensure that trusted third-party service providers process your data securely and in compliance with applicable laws.

We implement physical, electronic, and managerial measures to safeguard your information and prevent unauthorized access. However, no security system is entirely foolproof, including encryption. People can make errors or intentionally bypass security protocols. While we make every effort to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. If applicable law mandates protection of personal information, intentional misconduct will be the standard by which we measure our compliance.

Can I Update or Correct My Information?

Your ability to update or correct information depends on your relationship with us. Customers can request updates, corrections, or deletions of their personal information by contacting us. While we strive to comply with such requests, some information may remain in backups or non-erasable forms. To ensure privacy, we may take steps to verify your identity before granting access. Please note that complete removal of all records may not be technologically possible.

Personnel

If you are a worker or applicant for Logixs Journals, we collect and use the information you voluntarily provide for Human Resources purposes, such as administering benefits and screening applications. You can contact us to update, correct, change, or receive records of your information. Any updates will not affect data previously shared with third parties in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

In the event of a sale, merger, or transfer of Logixs Journals' assets, including corporate affiliates, we may transfer collected information to the acquiring third party.

How Long Do We Keep Your Information?

We retain your information only as long as necessary to provide you with services and fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. When we no longer need your information and have no legal or regulatory obligations requiring retention, we will either delete it or anonymize it so that it cannot be used to identify you. This applies to any third parties who process your information on our behalf. 

How Do We Protect Your Information?

We implement advanced security measures, including Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology, to encrypt sensitive data like credit card details. Authorized personnel with special access are required to maintain confidentiality. Post-transaction, sensitive information is not stored. While we strive to protect your information with industry-standard practices, no system is entirely secure, and we cannot fully guarantee the prevention of unauthorized access or data breaches. We continuously update our security protocols to safeguard your data.

Links to Other Websites

This Privacy Policy applies solely to our Services. Our platform may contain links to external websites not operated or controlled by us. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or opinions expressed on such websites, and we do not monitor them for accuracy or completeness. When you leave our platform via a link, our Privacy Policy no longer applies. Your activity on other websites is governed by their own terms, policies, and practices, including their use of cookies and tracking methods.

Cookies

We use cookies to track which areas of our website you visit and to personalize the content you see. A cookie is a small data file stored by your browser on your device. While cookies enhance your experience, disabling them in your browser may limit some functionality on our website. We do not store any personally identifiable information in cookies.

Advertising

Advertising supports us and helps keep our services free to use. We strive to ensure that ads are secure, non-intrusive, and relevant to your interests.

Cookies for Advertising

Cookies enhance the effectiveness of advertising by enabling advertisers to target relevant audiences, track the number of ads displayed, and measure user engagement through clicks. Without cookies, advertisers struggle to optimize campaigns or gauge ad performance accurately.

Remarketing Services

We use remarketing services to display targeted ads to individuals who have previously visited our website. Remarketing allows us to engage users by serving relevant ads as they browse other websites or platforms, creating the impression that our ads are "following" them around the internet. This approach helps reinforce our brand presence and encourages users to return to our site.

Payment Details

We prioritize the security of your credit card and payment processing information. All confidential payment details you provide will be stored and handled in the most secure manner possible, ensuring maximum protection against unauthorized access.

Kids' Privacy

Our services are not intended for individuals under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and become aware that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected data from a child under 13 without verified parental consent, we will promptly take steps to delete that information from our servers.

Changes to Our Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time. If we make changes, we will update the Privacy Policy on this page. The updated version will reflect the modification date below, and it is your responsibility to review the policy regularly to stay informed of any changes. Continued use of our services after modifications constitutes your agreement to the updated terms.

Third-Party Services

We may offer or provide links to third-party content, services, or websites for your convenience. However, we are not responsible for the accuracy, legality, or quality of these services. You acknowledge that any use of third-party services is at your own risk, and you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of those third parties. Logixs Journals is not liable for any issues arising from your use of such third-party services.

Google Ads

We use Google Ads to serve personalized advertisements to users. Google Ads helps us ensure that our ads are relevant to the right audience by tracking user activity on our website. Google Ads may collect information from your device when you interact with our service. The information collected is managed according to Google's Privacy Policy and is used to optimize ad targeting and measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns.

Tracking Technologies

We use cookies to enhance the performance and functionality of our service. These cookies are non-essential but may improve your experience. Without them, certain functionalities, such as videos, may be unavailable, and you may need to re-enter login details each time you visit, as we wouldn't be able to remember previous sessions. These technologies help us optimize your experience but can be managed through your browser settings.

Information about General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

If you are from the European Economic Area (EEA), Logixs Journals may collect and use your personal data. This section explains how and why we collect this data and the safeguards in place to prevent misuse.

What is GDPR?

GDPR is an EU regulation designed to protect personal data and give residents greater control over how their data is used by companies. This law applies to companies handling data of EU residents, ensuring transparency and control.

What is Personal Data?

Personal data refers to any information related to an identifiable person. GDPR includes a wide range of personal data that could identify a person alone or in combination with other information. Examples include financial details, genetic or biometric data, IP addresses, political views, physical addresses, and more.

Data protection principles ensure:

  • Fair, lawful, and transparent data processing.
  • Collection for a specified purpose, used solely for that purpose.
  • Retention only as long as necessary.
  • Individuals have rights to access, update, delete, or move their personal data.

Why is GDPR Important?

GDPR is crucial because it sets new requirements for how companies protect personal data, enforcing stricter regulations and imposing greater penalties for non-compliance. It ensures individuals' data privacy and strengthens security measures for personal data handling. The regulation promotes transparency and fairness in data processing, giving individuals more control over their information. GDPR also emphasizes ethical responsibility, aligning with companies like Logixs Journals that value strong privacy and security practices beyond just compliance. 

Individual Data Subject's Rights - Data Access, Portability and Deletion

Logixs Journals ensures compliance with GDPR by providing tools for users to access, update, and delete personal data. Personal data is stored with GDPR-compliant vendors for up to 6 years unless the account is deleted, in which case the data is disposed of within 60 days. This supports GDPR requirements for data access, portability, and deletion, allowing customers to manage their data securely and efficiently. Customer support is available to assist with any queries regarding the API and data management.
