Who We Are
Business Research Journal is operated by Robert A. Reinhardt — independent researcher, doctoral candidate in progress, and the sole human being responsible for everything on this platform. There is no team, no marketing department, and no one reading your data for fun. It is a one-person academic operation, and it runs accordingly.
What Information We Collect
As a primarily read-only public platform, this site collects minimal data. Depending on how you interact with the site, information that may be collected includes:
- IP addresses and basic server access logs (standard web server behavior)
- Page visit analytics, if an analytics tool is active
- Contact form submissions, if you choose to reach out
- Browser and device information passed automatically by your browser
No account registration is available to the public. No passwords are stored for visitors. No payment information is collected — ever.
How We Use Your Information
Any data collected is used exclusively to operate and improve the platform — understanding which content is useful, keeping the site secure, and responding to contact inquiries. Your information is not sold, rented, or shared with third parties for advertising or marketing purposes. Full stop.
Cookies
This site may use session cookies to maintain basic functionality. No third-party advertising cookies are used. If you use a browser that blocks cookies by default, the site will still function normally for read-only browsing.
Security
Reasonable technical measures are in place to protect this platform, including encrypted HTTPS connections, secured server access, and careful management of administrative credentials. That said, no system connected to the internet can guarantee perfect security, and we will not pretend otherwise.
Third-Party Links
This site links to external platforms including ORCID and LinkedIn. Once you leave this site, their privacy policies apply — not ours. We have no control over and no responsibility for how external platforms handle your data.
Data Access Requests
If you would like to know what data, if any, has been collected in connection with your visit, you are welcome to reach out via the contact email below. Requests will be handled in good faith and as promptly as reasonably possible.
Changes to This Policy
This policy may be updated as the platform evolves. Any significant changes will be reflected in the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Continuing to use the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
