Privacy Policy

This policy explains how JHTS handles personal data, in line with the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 [TO CONFIRM].

What we collect

• Account details: your name, email address, affiliation and, optionally, your ORCID iD.
• Submission details: manuscripts, co-author details and correspondence with the editors.
• Payment records: the amount, date, reference and status of each payment. Card details are handled entirely by Paystack and never reach us.
• Usage statistics: anonymous counts of article views and downloads. We store a daily-changing hashed session code, not your IP address.

Why we use it

We use your data only to run the journal: to manage submissions and peer review, process fees, send you updates about your work and publish accepted articles.

Cookies

The site uses only essential cookies needed to keep you signed in. It does not use advertising or tracking cookies.

Your rights

You can download a copy of your data, correct your profile or delete your account yourself from My account, or write to the editorial office. Published articles, submitted manuscripts, reviews and financial records must be kept for the scholarly record and for audit purposes; when you delete your account, your name and contact details are removed from them.

Retention
