Scripta Islandica and Privacy Policy

Scripta Islandica manages personal information for academic purposes, i.e., to complete and distribute research material. The journal is therefore responsible for handling personal information. The National Library of Sweden provides access to Publicera as a digital infrastructure and archive for the journal. The following text describes how the journal collects and manages personal information via Publicera.

What counts as personal information and how is it managed?

Personal information is all information that directly or indirectly can be attributed to a physical living person. This can, for example, include images and audio files that are managed in a database even if anonymized. In addition, encrypted information and different kinds of electronic identities (e.g., IP numbers) are considered personal information if connected to a physical person.

Management of personal information includes all transactions related to the data. This includes all management, whether or not it is automatic.

Common types of management of personal data are collection, registration, organization, structuring, storing, processing, transferring and deleting.
