Submissions and Correspondence
Information submitted through the Write for Us, Submission Enquiries, or Contact pages may be retained for editorial assessment, correspondence, publication administration, and recordkeeping.
Authors should not include unnecessary sensitive personal information in manuscripts or correspondence.
Cookies and Analytics
The website may use cookies and similar technologies to support website functionality, remember user preferences, measure traffic, and understand how visitors use the site.
Visitors may restrict or disable cookies through their browser settings. Some parts of the website may not function as intended when cookies are disabled.
Third-Party Services
The website may use third-party services for hosting, website security, analytics, embedded media, email communication, forms, or other technical functions.
These providers may process limited information according to their own privacy policies. Links to external websites are provided for convenience, and the journal is not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites.
Disclosure of Information
Personal information may be disclosed where reasonably necessary:
- To service providers supporting the website or journal
- With the person’s consent
- To protect the website, journal, users, or legal rights
- Where required or authorised by law
Storage and Security
Reasonable steps are taken to protect personal information from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification, or disclosure.
However, no internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Access, Correction, and Deletion
A person may request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information held about them, subject to legal, editorial, archival, and administrative requirements.
Requests should be made through the journal’s Contact page.
Children’s Privacy
The website is intended for a general and academic readership. The journal does not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children without appropriate consent.
Changes to This Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated when website practices, services, or legal requirements change. The revised date will appear at the top of this page.
Contact
Questions or concerns about privacy may be submitted through the journal’s Contact page.
Editorial and reviewer data
The journal may process names, contact details, affiliations, ORCID identifiers, account information, submitted files, reviewer expertise, reports and editorial correspondence for submission handling, peer review, publication, integrity checks and maintenance of the scholarly record.
Manuscripts and reports are shared only with people reasonably involved in editorial assessment or site administration. Reviewer identities are not disclosed to authors or the public where anonymous review applies, except with consent or where disclosure is required by law.
Retention and security
Submission and publication records may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to document decisions, authorship, permissions, revisions and the integrity of the publication record. Unsuccessful submissions and reviewer records are retained only for legitimate editorial, legal, security or administrative purposes and are periodically reviewed. Reasonable technical and organisational safeguards are used, but no internet system can guarantee absolute security.
Your choices
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information by contacting editor@faithcivilizationtheology.com. Some information may need to be retained where required by law or to preserve an accurate editorial and publication record. Privacy concerns will be acknowledged and handled in accordance with applicable Australian requirements.
