Voice of Arabic — voiceofarabic.net

This English text is a translation provided for convenience; the Arabic text is the binding version.

This page describes what the site collects from you, why it collects it, how long it keeps it, whom it shares it with, and how you can ask for it to be deleted.

In short

We do not sell your data, rent it out, or share it for marketing purposes.
Nor do we place advertising trackers on the site — no Facebook pixel or anything like it, and nothing is sold to anyone.
Nor do we use any measurement or visitor-analytics tool.
We collect from you only what you write yourself, or what is needed to run a service you have requested.
You may ask for a copy of your data, or for its deletion, at any time.

1. What we collect

Nothing is collected from a visitor who only reads. Data is stored only when you open an account or use a service:

When	What is stored
You open an account	Your name and email address, and your photo if you upload one. Your password is stored encrypted and cannot be read — we ourselves do not know it.
You submit a paper for peer review	The paper's file, its title and abstract, and your occupation, institution and academic degree. The file is stored in a location that cannot be opened from the web, and it is reachable only by you, the manager of the scholarly outlet (the journal or book), and the reviewer assigned to your paper.
A certificate is issued to you	Your name as you want it on the certificate, your email if one is given, and the verification code. The verification page shows your name, who issued the certificate and when to anyone who holds the code.
You write to us or request a service	Your name, your email, the text of your message, and any files you attach.
You browse the site	A single cookie for your session, which keeps you signed in and protects forms against forgery. It carries no advertising, and it is removed when you sign out. No tracking.

2. Why we collect it

To run what you asked for: signing in to your account, submitting your paper, and issuing your certificate.
To write to you about what you asked for — such as recovering your password, or informing you of a decision on your paper.
And to protect the site from abuse.

We do not use it for anything else. The site's group mailings — if any are sent — concern the site and its services, and each one carries a way to leave the list.

3. Whom we share it with

We do not sell it, rent it out, or give it to any advertiser or broker. It leaves the site in three cases only:

The email service we send with — our messages to you pass through it, and it is a company committed to protecting what passes through it.
Whoever is needed to complete what you asked for — such as the manager of the scholarly outlet to which you submitted your paper, and the reviewer assigned to it. Review is blind: the reviewer receives neither your name nor your email.
An official authority that requests it under a legal right.

4. How long we keep it

For as long as your account exists. If your account is deleted, its data is deleted — except what must remain: a certificate issued in your name remains verifiable, because whoever you show it to needs to be able to confirm it, and keeping it is a right of yours, not a burden on you. The same applies to financial records that the law requires us to keep.

5. Your rights

To know what we hold about you, and to ask for a copy of it.
To correct whatever is wrong.
To ask for your account and its data to be deleted.
To leave the mailing list.

These are requested from the Contact us page, and we reply within a reasonable time.

6. How we protect it

The site runs over an encrypted connection; passwords are stored in a form that can be neither read nor recovered; and research files are kept in a location that cannot be opened from the web except by those entitled to them. No system is impossible to breach, so if anything happens that affects your data, we will inform you and inform the competent authority.

7. Children

The site is intended for researchers and for those interested in the Arabic language, and it does not seek to collect data about anyone under the age of fifteen. Anyone who learns of such data should tell us so that we can delete it.

8. Changes to this policy

It may be amended when the site's services change, and the date of the last amendment is written at the bottom. We will notify you by email of anything that materially affects your rights.
