How we keep the data secure:
Endoscopy News uses reasonable market means and those legally required to preserve the privacy of the personal data it collects. Therefore, it adopts various precautions, in observance of guidelines on security standards, such as:
- Protection against unauthorized access to its systems.
- SSL Encryption
- WAF – Web Application Firewall
- Software update policy
- Maintenance of an inventory indicating the time, duration, identity of the employee, or the person responsible for the access, and the file object, based on connection and application access logs.
In addition to technical efforts, Endoscopy News also adopts institutional measures aimed at the protection of personal data. Consequently, it maintains a structure and a privacy governance program applied to its activities, which are constantly updated.
Even though Endoscopy News makes the best efforts to preserve privacy and protect the data of the Data Subjects, no transmission of information is completely secure. Therefore, Endoscopy News cannot fully guarantee that all data it receives or sends will not be subject to unauthorized access carried out through methods designed to improperly obtain information. For this reason, in addition to our internal regulations that take care of data exchange, we encourage Data Subjects to take appropriate measures to protect themselves, such as keeping their logins and passwords confidential. It is important to note that such information is personal, non-transferable, and the exclusive responsibility of the Data Subjects.
Retention of Collected Information:
In order to protect the privacy of the Data Subjects, the personal data processed by Endoscopy News will be deleted when it is no longer useful for the purposes for which it was collected, or when the Data Subject requests its deletion, unless its maintenance is expressly authorized by applicable law or regulation.
Information may be retained for the exercise of the controller’s rights in judicial or administrative proceedings.
The data subject may request the deletion of data through a direct request to the email address contato@endoscopy.news.

The User is aware that the deletion of essential information for the management of their account with Endoscopy News will result in the termination of their registration, with the consequent cancellation of the services then provided.
Endoscopy News will make every effort to respond to requests in the shortest possible time. However, justifiable factors, such as the complexity of the requested action, may delay or prevent prompt handling.
Finally, the Data Subject should be aware that their request may be legally rejected, either for formal reasons (such as their inability to prove their identity) or legal reasons (such as the request for deletion of data whose maintenance is a free exercise of right by Endoscopy News).
Policy Revisions:
Should Endoscopy News modify this policy, such changes will be prominently posted on the website, and, whenever possible, the data subject will be informed.
