Administrative Sciences Association of Canada (ASAC) Privacy Statement
ASAC only collects personally identifiable information about individuals when such individuals specifically and explicitly provide such information on a voluntary basis during the registration process for ASAC membership or while creating an account on ScholarOne, the article management system used by the Canadian Journal of Administrative Sciences (CJAS). ASAC will provide member name and address information to the publisher of CJAS where members have opted to receive their journal in hard copy through the mail. Personally identifiable information on individual users will not be sold or otherwise transferred to unaffiliated third parties. ASAC reserves the right to contact a member, author, and/or reviewer regarding account status and other matters relevant to the underlying service and/or the information collected.
ASAC members have the right to delete their account at any time, and upon doing so all personal identifiable information will be deleted from all servers, databases, and records.
The ScholarOne and CJAS sites use cookies. “Cookies” are small text files a web site can use to recognize repeat users, facilitate the user’s ongoing access to and use of the site and allow a site to track usage behavior and compile aggregate data that will allow content improvements and targeted advertising. Cookies are not programs that come onto a user’s system and damage files. Generally, cookies work by assigning a unique number to the user that has no meaning outside the assigning site. Users should be aware that ASAC cannot control the use of cookies or the resulting information by advertisers or third parties hosting data for ASAC, and strongly recommends that users consult the privacy policies of any third party sites hosting data related to ASAC, including ScholarOne and Wiley. If a user does not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows the user to deny or accept the cookie feature; however, users should note that cookies may be necessary to provide the user with certain features (e.g., customized delivery of information) available on the Site.
The forgoing policies are effective as of April 23, 2018. ASAC reserves the right to change this policy at any time by notifying users of the existence of a new privacy statement. This statement and the policies outlined herein are not intended to and do not create any contractual or other legal rights in or on behalf of any party.
