1. Personal Data We May Collect
We may collect personal data that you provide directly, including:
- name;
- email address;
- institutional affiliation;
- country or region;
- message content submitted through contact or editorial communications;
- manuscript-related or editorial communication data, where applicable.
We may also collect limited technical data necessary to operate and secure the website, such as IP address, browser type, device information, and pages requested.
2. How We Use Personal Data
We use personal data to:
- respond to inquiries;
- provide editorial guidance;
- support manuscript submission and journal communication;
- improve website functionality and user experience;
- maintain security and prevent misuse;
- comply with legal, regulatory, or editorial obligations.
3. Legal Basis
Depending on the context, we process personal data based on consent, legitimate interest, contractual necessity, compliance with legal obligations, or other lawful bases recognized under applicable data protection laws, including the LGPD and, where applicable, the GDPR.
4. Sharing of Personal Data
We do not sell personal data.
We may share limited data with trusted service providers that support website hosting, email communication, editorial systems, security, or technical infrastructure. These providers must process data only as necessary to perform their services.
We may also disclose data when required by law or necessary to protect legal rights, security, or the integrity of our editorial processes.
5. International Transfers
Because Telos Journals may use international digital infrastructure and communicate with authors, editors, reviewers, and partners in different countries, personal data may be processed outside your country of residence.
Where required, we take reasonable measures to protect personal data in accordance with applicable law.
6. Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Notice, including editorial, legal, administrative, security, and record-keeping purposes.
7. Your Rights
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the right to request access, correction, deletion, portability, restriction of processing, objection to processing, or withdrawal of consent.
To exercise your rights, contact us through the institutional contact page.
8. Cookies, Analytics, and Local Storage
This website currently does not use non-essential cookies, analytics, advertising pixels, embeds, or tracking technologies.
The website uses local browser storage only to remember the visitor’s light or dark theme preference. This preference remains in the visitor’s browser and is not used for tracking.
If Telos Journals later introduces non-essential cookies, analytics, embeds, or equivalent technologies, we will update this Notice and provide any required notice or consent mechanism before using them.
9. Security
We adopt reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against unauthorized access, misuse, loss, alteration, or disclosure.
No digital system is completely secure, but we work to maintain appropriate safeguards.

We may update this Privacy Notice from time to time. The updated version will be published on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.
