Privacy Statement

Privacy Policy
IMPL is committed to your privacy. The information we have about our customers is protected and secure and we work diligently to ensure that preferences regarding the use of your information are honored. This Privacy Policy explains the types of personal information we collect and how we use, store, protect and disclose that information.

What information do we collect?
In this Privacy Policy, your “personal information” means information that could allow you to be identified. This typically includes information such as your name, address, username, profile picture, email address, telephone number, or IP address. Personal information may be derived from different sources, including:

Information that you give us directly
We may collect personal information from you directly, e.g. when you submit manuscripts or reviews, sign up to receive information, use applications, or buy a product or service from us.
If you wish to receive newsletters about IMPL products in your area of interest, please opt in by ticking the relevant box when registering for a sale or service, or click on IMPL.com/email-newsletters.
Information from other sources
We may receive personal information about you from other sources, either available publicly, such as University websites, or made available with your consent. The types of personal information that we may collect from such sources include your name, professional e-mail and street address, and publicly available information such as user-generated content, publications, blogs and postings, as permitted by law.
Information we collect automatically when you use IMPL websites

A cookie is a small piece of data (text file) that a website – when visited by a user – asks your browser to store on your device in order to remember information about you, such as your language preference or login information. Those cookies are set by us and called first-party cookies. We also use third-party cookies – which are cookies from a domain different than the domain of the website you are visiting – for our advertising and marketing efforts. More specifically, we use cookies and other tracking technologies for the following purposes:
Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.

Who do we share your personal information with?
As a general rule, we do not share your personal information with anyone outside of IMPL. However, we may share your personal information with trusted third parties:

advertising, marketing and promotional agencies to help us deliver and analyze the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and promotions
third parties required to deliver a product or service to you, such as a delivery or postal service delivering a product that you have ordered
law enforcement or government authorities where they have followed due legal process to request us to disclose the information
third party providers of services to IMPL, such as data processing

If we do share your personal information with a third party, we shall use our best efforts to ensure that they keep your information secure, and that they only use it in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws and regulations.

Transferring personal data outside the EU
We may transfer your personal information to IMPL servers located outside the country in which you live or to affiliates or other trusted third parties based in other countries so that they may process personal information on our behalf. By using a IMPL website or otherwise providing IMPL with personal information, you agree to us doing so in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws and regulations.

You should be aware that many countries do not afford the same legal protection to personal information as you might enjoy in your country of origin. While your personal information is in another country, it may be accessed by the courts, law enforcement and national security authorities in that country in accordance with its laws. Subject to such lawful access requests, we promise that anyone processing your personal information outside your country of origin is required to implement measures to protect it and is only entitled to process it in accordance with IMPL’s instructions.

Security
We take all reasonable precautions to keep your personal information secure and require any third parties that handle or process your personal information for us to do the same. Access to your personal information is restricted to prevent unauthorized access, modification or misuse and is only permitted among our employees and agents on a need-to-know basis. IMPL uses industry-standard encryption technologies when transferring and receiving consumer data exchanged with our site. We have appropriate security measures in place in our physical facilities to protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of information that we have collected from you on our site. In case of a security breach we will inform and cooperate with the Dutch Data Protection Authority.

If you have any questions, comments or concerns about how we handle your personal information, please contact us at info@manuscriptsleiden.com . You have the right to tell us if you:

don’t want to be contacted in the future by us
