Privacy policy

The RePEc Author Service (RAS) gathers bibliographic and biographic information about authors in Economics and neighboring sciences.  Thus all information collected here is public, except passwords, and if the author requires so, email addresses. RePEc and its affiliated services make every possible effort to prevent automatic gathering of email address by encoding them.

The deletion of a profile on RAS may take a few days to be reflected on other services due to normal delays in the synchronization of data across web sites.

Even if a user declines to have his or her email address listed, a valid email address is required to be registered, and this email address will be used for short monthly reminders that include statistics about downloads and abstract views of the person’s works.

This service is now hosted by the Research Division of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. It is thus also governed by the privacy policy and the terms and conditions of the Division.
