Effective Date: July 31, 2025

Germinate: Environmental History Review is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights.

What We Collect

When you use our website—especially when submitting work—we may collect:

  • Your name and contact details (like email address)

  • Your submission materials (manuscripts, bios, etc.)

  • Information you provide via forms (e.g., submission or reviewer forms)

  • Website usage data (through cookies or analytics tools)

How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

  • Review and publish submitted work

  • Communicate with authors, reviewers, and editors

  • Improve the journal and website

  • Keep internal records (e.g., submission tracking, editorial decisions)

We will never sell or rent your personal information.

Sharing Your Information

We only share your information with:

  • Editors and reviewers (as needed for submission processing)

  • Copy editors and platform providers (for publishing and technical support)

Peer review is double-blind, so reviewers and authors do not see each other’s identities.

You can:

  • Ask us what data we have about you

  • Request corrections or deletion of your personal data

  • Opt out of communications not related to a submission

Email us at g-ehr@aseh.org to make any request.
