The journal’s editorial board acts as the controller of personal data, which is defined as information relating directly or indirectly to an identified or identifiable individual. Processing of personal data is considered to be any action (operation) or group of actions (operations) involving personal data performed by the editorial board, whether or not using automated means. The processing of personal data includes, among other things: collection; recording; systematization; accumulation; storage; clarification (updating, modification); retrieval; use; transfer (distribution, disclosure, access); anonymization; blocking; deletion; and destruction of personal information.
Transfer of personal data to third parties is permitted only with the written consent of the data subjects, except in cases where it is necessary to prevent a threat to the life or health of the data subjects, as well as in other cases provided for by the legislation of the Russian Federation.
When processing personal data, the controller ensures the confidentiality of such data.
The data processor shall store personal data in a form that allows for the identification of the data subject for no longer than is necessary to achieve the purposes of the processing of such data, unless the retention period for the personal data is established by federal law or by a contract to which the data subject is a party or a guarantor.

Once the purposes of processing personal data have been achieved, or if the data subject revokes consent to the processing of their personal data, the latter shall be destroyed.
Distribution of Papers before and after Publication
An article, as an original work, may be submitted for consideration to only one academic journal, provided that the author (co-author) has not previously published the article in other print and/or electronic publications, except for the publication of a preprint (manuscript) of the article on their own website. Preprints, which must be clearly labeled as such, may be posted as electronic files on the author’s (co-authors’) website or on a secure external website operated by the author’s (co-authors’) employer, but not for commercial sale or systematic distribution to third parties.
