Personal data collected from registered and non-registered users arise from the standard operation of a peer-reviewed scholarly journal.

The International Society for Porous Media acts as the data controller for personal data processed in connection with InterPore Journal. The journal uses Open Journal Systems (OJS), developed and hosted by the Public Knowledge Project (PKP), which processes personal data on behalf of the data controller for the purpose of providing and maintaining the publishing platform.
The journal’s editorial team uses personal data solely for purposes related to publishing, maintaining, and improving the journal. Data that support the development and operation of the publishing platform may be shared with PKP in aggregated or anonymized form, with limited exceptions, such as article-level metrics. Personal data are not sold and are not used for purposes other than those described here.
The journal uses cookies and analytics tools, including OJS analytics and Google Analytics, to collect aggregated information about website usage and readership in order to support the operation, evaluation, and improvement of the journal.
