Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

When you sign in to the Reviewers Portal, we may receive a decentralized identifier (DID) from your identity provider, along with limited profile information such as your display name, username, and email address if it is shared with us.

Within the portal, we also collect information related to your role, project assignments, submissions, decisions, and activity necessary to operate a secure reviewer workflow.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your DID and associated profile data to authenticate you, determine your role-based access, and connect your account to the appropriate teams, partners, and projects.

Activity data such as reviews, submissions, and status changes may be stored as part of an audit trail to support transparent, accountable decision making.

3. Cookies and Sessions

The portal uses session cookies and similar technologies to keep you securely signed in, prevent unauthorized access, and protect against abuse. These cookies do not track you across unrelated websites and are used only to operate and secure the portal.

4. Sharing of Information

We do not sell or rent your personal information. Data may be shared only with service providers and infrastructure that are required to operate the portal, process submissions, or comply with legal obligations, subject to appropriate safeguards.

5. Data Retention

We retain account, assignment, and audit data for as long as necessary to administer the reviewer program, comply with applicable requirements, and maintain accurate records. When data is no longer needed, it may be anonymized or securely deleted.

6. Security

We implement technical and organizational measures to protect your information, including encrypted transport, role-based access controls, and restricted administrative access. No system can be completely secure, but we continuously work to protect the portal and its data.
