'Personal data' refers to information about a person that enables the identification of that individual, whether directly or indirectly, but does not include data about deceased individuals such as name, surname, address, telephone number, email address, IP address, cookie ID, log files, etc. However, the following information is not considered personal data: business contact information that does not identify an individual, such as company name, company address, company registration number, work phone number, work email address, anonymous data or pseudonymous data that has been processed to prevent identification, and deceased individuals’ data.

'Data controller' refers to an individual or legal entity with the authority to make decisions about the collection, use, or disclosure of personal data.

'Data processor' refers to an individual or legal entity that processes personal data on behalf of, or under the authority of, the data controller. However, individuals or legal entities performing such activities are not data controllers.

'Processing' refers to the collection, use, or disclosure of personal data.

2. Sources of personal data collected by the journal

The journal collects or obtains various types of personal data from the following sources:

2.1 The journal collects personal data directly from data subjects via various service channels such as registration, survey completion, photography, and videography at conferences or training events, or when data subjects communicate with the journal in person at its premises or through other controlled communication channels managed by the journal.
