Public Policy

At Pactura Law Platform, we respect and protect the privacy of all our visitors, contributors, authors, researchers, and partners who engage with our website, digital services, and affiliated platforms. Privacy is not only a legal requirement that we are bound to observe but also a fundamental value that reflects our core commitment to trust, transparency, and integrity. This Privacy Policy has been created to provide clarity on what types of information we collect, how such information is used, and the safeguards we employ to ensure the protection of your data.

 

We recognize that in today’s digital era, data protection is central to maintaining user confidence. Visitors to our website expect not only reliable and accurate content but also a secure and respectful treatment of any personal or non-personal information that might be generated through their interaction with our services. Our approach to privacy goes beyond mere compliance with local and international laws. It is rooted in our organizational ethics, which demand accountability in handling information and openness in communicating with those who entrust us with their data.

 

This policy applies to all activities conducted through Pactura Law Platform’s digital ecosystem, including but not limited to the website, journal submission systems, newsletters, blog platforms, and collaboration portals. Every time a visitor accesses our platform, whether for reading an article, submitting research, subscribing to updates, or contacting us directly, information may be collected either voluntarily or automatically. We want to ensure that every user is fully informed of how such information is handled.

 

Importantly, Pactura does not sell or misuse user data. We maintain a clear stance that personal data belongs to the individual, and our role is limited to using it only insofar as it is necessary to deliver our services and enhance user experience. All data collection is governed by principles of proportionality, necessity, and legitimacy, ensuring that no information is gathered without a clear purpose.

 

By publishing this Privacy Policy, Pactura seeks to empower users by giving them the tools to make informed decisions about their engagement with us. We invite all users to review this document carefully, as it represents both a declaration of our commitment and a guide to how your rights are respected within our ecosystem.

Information We Collect

We collect two primary categories of information: personal information and non-personal information.

Personal Information is data that directly identifies you as an individual. Examples include your full name, email address, institutional affiliation, professional title, or any other detail you willingly provide. Such information is typically collected when you:

  • Submit a contact form on our website.

  • Subscribe to newsletters or mailing lists.

  • Register for training, workshops, or events hosted by Pactura.

  • Submit manuscripts, articles, or research contributions for publication.

  • Engage in collaborative projects facilitated through our platform.

Providing personal information is always voluntary, but it may be necessary to access certain features or services. Without such data, we may not be able to communicate effectively with you, process your submissions, or provide relevant updates.

Non-Personal Information includes data that does not directly identify you but still provides valuable insights into how our platform is accessed and used. This category may include:

  • Browser type and version.

  • Device specifications, operating system, and screen resolution.

  • Internet Protocol (IP) address, which may provide general location data.

  • Patterns of navigation and interaction on our site, such as pages visited, time spent on each page, and referral sources.

Non-personal information is automatically collected through cookies, analytics tools, and server logs. This type of data is critical for us to understand overall usage patterns, improve website performance, detect potential technical issues, and ensure our content reaches the widest possible audience effectively.

By collecting both personal and non-personal information, we are able to create a more tailored, efficient, and user-centered experience. However, Pactura remains committed to ensuring that all data, regardless of its type, is collected responsibly and used in ways that serve the interests of our community.

How We Use Information

Ensuring the security of your data is a top priority for Pactura. We recognize that trust can only be maintained when users are confident that their information is safe from misuse, unauthorized access, or accidental loss. To this end, we implement a combination of technical, organizational, and procedural safeguards.

Technical Safeguards include the use of encrypted connections (SSL/TLS), secure servers, firewalls, and intrusion detection systems. Our website infrastructure is regularly updated to patch vulnerabilities and maintain resilience against cyber threats.

Organizational Safeguards involve restricting access to personal data only to authorized personnel who require it to perform their duties. Staff and collaborators are trained in data protection principles and bound by confidentiality agreements to prevent misuse.

Procedural Safeguards ensure that data handling follows documented protocols. For instance, manuscript submissions are handled through secure editorial systems, while newsletters are managed using platforms that comply with data protection regulations.

Despite these efforts, no system can guarantee absolute security. Therefore, Pactura commits to transparency in the event of data breaches. Should such an incident occur, we will notify affected parties promptly and take corrective measures to mitigate risks.

By combining these safeguards, we aim to create a robust environment where user data is treated with the seriousness it deserves.
