Privacy Policy
1. Data Protection
All personal data collected through our websites is safeguarded against unauthorized access by third parties, employing appropriate technical security measures and physical safeguards in accordance with recognized privacy standards.
2. Website Usage Data
During site visits, technical information—including referring URLs, browser and device characteristics, IP address, operating system, and timestamps—is logged for statistical analysis, usage pattern recognition, and content optimization. Anonymous data may also be collected via cookies (e.g., through Google Analytics) to evaluate traffic sources, visitor numbers, and page interactions. When third-party services (e.g., social login, article recommendations, or external banners) are accessed via our platform, data collected by those providers is governed by their respective privacy policies.
3. User Accounts and Personalized Services
Registration for personalized services requires the provision of personal details (e.g., name, institutional affiliation, email address, academic credentials, research interests, and contact information). This data is used to fulfill contractual obligations (such as manuscript publication), enhance service delivery, respond to inquiries, conduct internal analytics, support targeted communications, and prevent fraud. Promotional emails regarding new publications, services, or products may be sent, with an option to unsubscribe at any time. Data obtained from third parties is processed under the same principles.
4. International Data Transfers
The Azerbaijan Medical Journal (AMJ) does not share personal data with third parties. Where data is stored or processed internationally, AMJ implements adequate safeguards to ensure continued protection in compliance with applicable data protection standards.
5. User Rights
Registered users may access, correct, or update their personal information at any time. Upon request, users are entitled to obtain a copy of the personal data held by IMJ. Account deactivation triggers the deletion of personal data, except where retention is required to fulfill legal obligations or resolve disputes.
