Information we collect
We may collect your name, email address, phone number, organisation, manuscript details, service requirements, uploaded files, correspondence, payment records where applicable, and basic technical information needed to secure and operate the website.
How we use information
Information is used to respond to enquiries, prepare quotations, deliver requested services, communicate about projects, maintain records, prevent misuse, improve operations, and meet legal or contractual obligations. We do not sell personal information.
Manuscript confidentiality
Unpublished manuscripts and supporting files are used only for assessment and delivery of the requested service. Access is limited to authorised personnel and service providers who need access for secure hosting, communication, or project delivery. Authors retain ownership of their work.
Storage, retention, and security
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect submitted information. Files and project records are retained only as long as needed for service delivery, support, financial or legal records, dispute prevention, and legitimate business requirements, after which they are deleted or anonymised where practical.
Cookies and technical data
The website may use essential cookies or local storage required for security, forms, preferences, and administration. If analytics, advertising, or additional tracking tools are introduced, the notice and consent controls should be updated accordingly.
Sharing of information
Information may be shared with trusted hosting, email, file-storage, payment, security, or specialist editorial providers only when necessary to operate the service. It may also be disclosed where required by law, to protect rights and systems, or with your consent.
Your choices and rights
You may ask to access, correct, or delete personal information, withdraw consent where consent is the legal basis, or raise a privacy concern by emailing info@sourcepublishingservices.com. Some records may be retained where required for legal, financial, security, or contractual purposes.
