Privacy Policy
Last Updated: August 25, 2026
Business Computing Journal respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, retain, and protect information when you visit BusinessComputingJournal.com, contact us, or submit information or materials for editorial consideration.
Information You Provide
We may collect information you voluntarily provide through our contact, news-submission, or other site forms. This may include your name, email address, contact message, organization or company information, links, and supporting materials you upload or submit. Please do not send sensitive personal information unless it is necessary for your request or submission.
Editorial and News Submissions
Information and materials submitted for editorial consideration may be reviewed, retained, verified, used to follow up with you, and considered for publication. Submitting materials does not guarantee publication. If material is published, it may remain publicly available as part of Business Computing Journal’s editorial archive.
Technical and Usage Information
When you visit the site, we and our service providers may automatically receive technical and usage information, such as your IP address, browser type, device and operating-system information, pages viewed, referral source, and the date, time, and duration of your visit. We use this information to operate, secure, understand, and improve the site and its content.
Google Analytics
Business Computing Journal currently uses Google Analytics to measure website traffic and understand how visitors use the site. Google Analytics may use cookies or similar technologies to collect usage information. For more information about how Google handles information, please consult Google’s privacy materials.
Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies to help the site function, remember preferences, analyze traffic, and measure audience engagement. Our Cookie Policy provides additional information about cookies and how to manage them. Business Computing Journal does not currently use Google AdSense advertising cookies.
LinkedIn API Integration
Business Computing Journal may use LinkedIn APIs to enable an authorized administrator to publish and manage approved Business Computing Journal content on the Business Computing Journal LinkedIn Company Page. This use is limited to the authentication and information needed to authorize and carry out that publishing or management activity. We do not state that we collect LinkedIn follower data, member profiles, comments, reactions, or other LinkedIn member data unless a future implementation actually requires and discloses that practice. We do not sell LinkedIn data.
How We Use Information
We may use information to respond to inquiries, review editorial submissions, communicate about a submission or request, operate and improve the site, understand audience use, protect the site and its users, comply with legal obligations, and maintain legitimate editorial and business records.
Service Providers and Limited Sharing
We may use service providers that help us operate the website, host content, analyze site use, process form submissions, or support authorized publishing activities. We share information with these providers only as reasonably necessary for those services, subject to applicable safeguards. We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, or security, comply with law, or respond to a valid legal process.
Data Retention
We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including responding to requests, editorial review, security, legal obligations, and legitimate editorial or business recordkeeping. Retention needs may vary depending on the information and context.
Data Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards designed to protect information collected through the site. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your Privacy Choices and Requests
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may be able to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information we hold about you. To make a request or ask a privacy question, contact us at editorial@businesscomputingjournal.com. We may need to verify your request and may retain information where necessary for legal, security, editorial, or recordkeeping purposes.
Third-Party Websites and Services
The site may link to third-party websites and services, including LinkedIn and Google services. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, and Business Computing Journal is not responsible for their content or practices.

We may update this Privacy Policy as site practices change. We will post the revised version on this page and update the date above.
