Sociological Discourse respects the privacy of its authors, reviewers, editors, and website visitors. Any personal information collected through the journal website or submission process, including names, email addresses, institutional affiliations, and other contact details, is used only for legitimate journal-related purposes such as manuscript submission, peer review, editorial communication, publication, and maintaining appropriate academic records.

The journal will not sell, rent, or otherwise disclose personal information to third parties for commercial purposes.

Authors and reviewers should understand that information associated with published articles, such as author names, affiliations, article titles, abstracts, and other publication metadata, may be made publicly available as part of the scholarly record. Reviewer identities will be treated confidentially in accordance with the journal's peer-review procedures.

The journal takes reasonable measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or misuse. However, users should recognize that no internet-based system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

By using the journal website or submitting a manuscript, users consent to the collection and use of their information for the purposes described in this statement. The journal reserves the right to update this Privacy Statement when necessary, and any significant changes will be reflected on the journal website.
