Privacy Policy

We may also share your personal information with our group companies and with sponsors, joint venture partners, and other third parties, including entities for which we are acting as an agent, licensee, application host, or publishers, such as societies, that wish to send you information about their products and services that may be of interest to you as determined by your choices in managing your communications preferences and other settings.

The Service may let you post and share personal information, comments, messages, materials, and other content. Any such information that you disclose publicly or in discussion fora in the Service may be collected and used by others, may be indexed by search engines, and might not be able to be removed.  Please be careful when disclosing personal information in these public areas.

Legal Reasons

We also will disclose your personal information if we have a good faith belief that such disclosure is necessary to: meet any applicable law, regulation, legal process, or other legal obligation; detect, investigate and help prevent security, fraud, or technical issues; and/or protect the rights, property or safety of Insight Publisher, our users, employees or others; and as part of a corporate transaction, such as a transfer of a journal or other assets to or an acquisition by or a merger with another company.

Your Personal Account

If you create a personal user account and was approved by any of our service companies and publishing parties, you can only sign in with the account just within the service you want. You do not have the same credential to sign in other services provided by Insight Publisher.
