For privacy questions or requests concerning your personal data, contact info@powdertechnology.info.

PowderTechnology.info may process the following categories of personal data:

• Contact information: such as your name, email address, and information you provide when contacting us.
• Submission and contributor information: information supplied when proposing or submitting an article, correction, image, or other editorial material.
• Subscription information: information you provide if you subscribe to a newsletter, special issue, or other requested email communication.
• Technical and usage information: information that may be generated through cookies or similar technologies, such as IP address, browser type, device information, and browsing activity.

We do not ask you to provide more personal data than is reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.

Personal data may be used to:

• respond to questions, requests, corrections, and other correspondence;
• receive and manage article proposals, contributed material, and editorial submissions;
• send newsletters, special issues, or other communications that you have requested;
• operate, maintain, secure, and improve the website and its functionality;
• understand how the website is used where analytics or similar measurement is enabled; and
• meet legal obligations and protect the rights, security, and integrity of PowderTechnology.info and its users.

We do not sell personal data.

Depending on the processing activity, PowderTechnology.info may rely on one or more of the following legal bases under the GDPR:

• Consent: for example, where you choose to receive an email communication or where consent is required for optional cookies or similar technologies. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time.
• Legitimate interests: where processing is reasonably necessary to operate and secure the publication, respond to correspondence, manage editorial submissions, improve the site, or protect our rights, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.
• Contract or steps before entering into a contract: where processing is necessary in connection with a contributor, commercial, or other arrangement requested by you.
• Legal obligation: where processing is necessary to comply with an applicable legal requirement.

PowderTechnology.info may use cookies and similar technologies to support essential website functions and, where enabled, to understand website usage and improve performance.

The types of cookies used, their purposes, consent requirements, and applicable retention periods are described in the Cookie Policy. Where consent is required, optional cookies should not be used on the basis of consent until that consent has been given.

PowderTechnology.info may use third-party service providers to support functions such as website hosting, analytics, communications, security, and other technical operations. Those providers may process personal data only to the extent necessary to provide the relevant service and are subject to applicable data-protection obligations.

Personal data may also be disclosed where required by law, regulation, court order, or a competent public authority, or where disclosure is reasonably necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal rights.

We do not disclose personal data to third parties for their independent use merely because they have a commercial relationship with PowderTechnology.info.

If a service provider processes personal data outside the European Economic Area, any transfer must be handled using a lawful transfer mechanism required under applicable data-protection law. Depending on the circumstances, this may include an adequacy decision or appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.

Where relevant, additional information about a specific provider or transfer mechanism may be provided on request or in the policy governing the relevant service.

We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including where retention is needed to manage correspondence, editorial records, contributor relationships, requested communications, security, or legal obligations.

Retention periods may therefore differ by type of data and purpose. Where a specific retention period applies to cookies or similar technologies, it is described in the Cookie Policy or consent information associated with those technologies.

When personal data is no longer required, it is deleted, anonymized, or otherwise removed from active use where appropriate and technically feasible.

We take appropriate technical and organizational measures intended to protect personal data against unauthorized or unlawful access, alteration, disclosure, loss, or destruction.

No method of transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Security measures are therefore reviewed and adjusted in proportion to the nature of the information, the systems used, and the risks involved.

Subject to the conditions and limitations in applicable law, you may have the right to:

• access personal data we hold about you;
• rectify inaccurate or incomplete personal data;
• erase personal data where the legal conditions for erasure are met;
• restrict processing in certain circumstances;
• receive or transfer certain personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format where the right to data portability applies;
• object to processing based on legitimate interests in circumstances provided by law; and
• withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent, without affecting processing carried out before withdrawal.

To exercise a privacy right, contact info@powdertechnology.info. We may need information sufficient to verify your identity and understand the request before acting on it.

If you believe your personal data has been processed unlawfully or that your privacy rights have not been respected, you may contact us first so that we can investigate the issue.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens, the Dutch Data Protection Authority. Information about submitting a complaint is available on the Authority’s website.

We may update this Privacy Policy when our website, publishing activities, data-processing practices, service providers, or applicable requirements change.

The current version and its last-updated date will be published on this page. Where a change materially affects how personal data is processed and additional notice or consent is required by law, we will take the steps reasonably required in the circumstances.
