In line with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which entered into application on 25 May 2018, and the Belgian law of 30 July 2018 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data, we would like to provide you with more details on our commitments regarding your personal data:
As an academic publisher, Mentisia collects personal data — including contact details, author and reviewer information and, where relevant to a submission, manuscript-related documents — solely to provide journal publishing, peer review and conference services, and to respond to your enquiries. Data is not sold or transferred to third parties outside the scope of the service you have requested (for example, sharing a submission with the journal's editorial board).
Access to your data is limited to Mentisia staff and authorised editors directly involved in your case, and to the specific journal's editorial board or reviewers, for the purpose of processing your submission.
Your data is kept only for as long as necessary to provide the service requested and to meet our legal and administrative obligations, after which it is deleted or anonymised.
Under the GDPR you have the right to access, correct, delete or request the transfer of your personal data, and to object to or restrict its processing. To exercise any of these rights, or for any question or complaint relating to the protection of your privacy, please contact us at [email protected].

Mentisia acts as an independent academic publisher and conference organiser, providing editorial services and support to authors, reviewers and institutions. We assist with manuscript preparation and submission, peer review coordination, and general guidance on publication and conference participation.
Mentisia does not make editorial decisions and cannot guarantee that any manuscript will be accepted for publication, or that any conference submission will be accepted. These decisions are made exclusively by the relevant journal's editorial board or conference programme committee, based on their own criteria.
Authors are responsible for providing accurate, complete and truthful information and documentation for their submission. Mentisia is not liable for consequences arising from inaccurate, incomplete or falsified information or documents supplied by the author.
Where Mentisia charges a fee for its services, this will be clearly communicated to the author in advance and set out in a service agreement before any payment is made. Any fees payable directly to a journal, indexing body or third-party service provider are separate from and not covered by Mentisia's own fees.
Mentisia will exercise reasonable skill and care in providing its services, but does not accept liability for decisions made by third parties, including editorial boards, indexing bodies and other institutions, nor for circumstances beyond its reasonable control.
All personal data and documents provided to Mentisia are treated as confidential and are used only for the purpose of delivering the requested service, in line with our Privacy Policy above.
1. Where a fee has been agreed for Mentisia's services, an author may request to cancel that service in writing at any time by contacting [email protected].
2. Any refund due will depend on the extent of the service already delivered at the time of cancellation (for example, manuscripts already submitted for review cannot be withdrawn from the editorial process). The specific refund terms applicable to a service will always be set out in the service agreement provided to the author before payment.
3. Fees paid directly to a third party — such as a journal, conference or indexing body — are governed by that third party's own refund policy and are not refundable by Mentisia.
4. Refunds, where due, are made using the same payment method originally used by the author, unless otherwise agreed. Any bank charges associated with the original payment or the refund are not covered by Mentisia.
