Is OpenAthens sharing my personal information with publishers?
Answer
No, OpenAthens does not share your personal information with publishers. OpenAthens is a registered charity in England and is compliant with all relevant legislation regarding privacy, data retention and data destruction, including GDPR. Visit the OpenAthens Privacy Policy to learn more.
One important exception is that some vendors may require that you set up a personal account in order to access materials or personalized features, such as saving search results or annotating sources. These vendor-specific personal accounts are not managed through OpenAthens and the vendor's terms and conditions and privacy policies apply.
