Privacy Statement

Global Medical Discoveries (GMD) respects the privacy of authors, reviewers, editors, readers, research participants, patients and registered users. The journal may collect names, affiliations, contact details, ORCID iDs, account information, submission and review records, correspondence and technical logs needed to operate and secure the journal.

Editorial use and confidentiality

Information is used to manage editorial work, publish accepted articles and metadata, maintain the scholarly record and meet ethical or legal obligations. Access to non-public material is limited to authorized people who require it for journal operations.

Patient and participant information

Authors must remove personal or medical information that is not essential and authorized for publication. Identifiable case details, images, genetic information and clinical records require appropriate consent, ethics oversight and secure handling. Anonymization must be assessed in context because removing names alone may not prevent recognition.

Sharing and retention

GMD does not sell personal information. Limited data may be processed by hosting, DOI, indexing, preservation, email or security services required to run the journal. Editorial records may be retained to document decisions and preserve research integrity.
