Privacy Statement
RED|UnB treats personal data in accordance with the principles and fundamentals of the Brazilian General Data Protection Law (Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados – n. 13.709/2018), Therefore, all personal data informed to this journal shall be used exclusively for the purposes of this publication, not available for any other uses or parties.
The personal data treatment period ends either at the request by the user, through a free and simple procedure, or when the purpose for its use is achieved. Furthermore, all personal information is excluded when they are no longer necessary or relevant to the services provided by this journal, save when there are any other reasons for its continuance, for example, when there’s an eventual data preservation need established by a specific law.
For the comprehension and systematization of the data used, the Data Protection General Law (LGPD, in Portuguese) defines the subjects and operations involved in the process. In this case, as it refers to a periodical scientific journal, the seriousness with which the data is treated obliges both the normative and editorial business regulations.
In such manner, the data collected is intimately linked with the activities performed by a periodical scientific journal, hence, the information required for the registry in our system is: Name; e-mail; and data referring to the user’s academic profile, as well as information needed for the user’s identification within the system, such as username and password.
The data we collect are used to fulfill the following demands:
- To satisfy our obligations towards the CAPES system as a periodical scientific journal of excellence, attending its evaluation criteria;
- To internally manage the data in order to allow a better performance of the RED|UnB’s Editorial Team;
- To carry out internal operations such as problem solving, data analyses and research;
- To verify and validate your identity, for registry and legal purposes;
- To prevent potentially illegal activities, combat fraud and cybernetic crimes.
Moreover, we indicate and inform about your access to your own data through the journal’s system, as well as the possibility of altering it by contacting the RED|UnB’s Board of Directors by the e-mail reddireitounb@gmail.com.
We inform that we may update or modify this privacy policy. We recommend you revisit it periodically as to keep informed about our data protection measures and actions taken in order to preserve it.
