Privacy
EntryLib records as little about people as it can. This page says what it records, why, and for how long.
Who is responsible
EntryLib, run by Ivan Svetunkov in the United Kingdom, is the controller of the personal data described here. Contact: [email protected].
Reading the site
The site sets no cookies, runs no analytics and loads nothing from other sites: its fonts and images are served from entrylib.org. Your IP address is used, in memory only, to apply the limits on how often one address may search or submit. The site is served through Cloudflare, which processes requests on our behalf to protect the site and deliver it.
Published entries
An entry names its contributors, as its authors gave them: names, ORCID iDs and their roles. These are published with the entry, because a reader needs to know who did the work and who answers for it, and they stay with every version. If you are named in an entry and should not be, write to us (removal requests).
Submitting
A submission is kept while it waits for its guarantor, at most 48 hours, then published or deleted. Its IP address is stored with it while it waits, to limit how many submissions one address can hold, and is deleted when the submission is published, refused or expires. The record that a submission existed is deleted 14 days after it closes.
When a guarantor confirms, they sign in with ORCID. EntryLib receives their ORCID iD and name from ORCID, to check that the person confirming is the guarantor the entry names, and records that they confirmed and when.
Retraction and removal requests
A guarantor who retracts or removes an entry signs in with ORCID; the notice names them, with their ORCID iD. If you ask as someone else, we keep your email address and your grounds while we review the request, and delete them when it is decided; the notice names EntryLib, not you, and shows the reason and the words you chose for it.
If you write to us, we keep your message and address for as long as we need them to answer and to keep a record of what was decided.
Your rights
You can ask what we hold about you, and ask us to correct or delete it, by writing to [email protected]. If you are unhappy with our answer, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).
