Privacy Policy

How Genetics University handles personal data, cookies and consent under the GDPR and LGPD.

Version 1.0

1. Controller

Genetics University is the controller for personal data processed on this website. The full postal address and the contact details of the data protection officer will be published once confirmed. Until then you can reach us through the contact form on this site.

2. Principles

We process personal data only on a lawful basis, for defined purposes, with data minimisation, and only for as long as the purpose requires. The legal bases are principally Art. 6(1)(a), (b), (c) and (f) GDPR and the corresponding provisions of the LGPD.

3. When you visit the site

Accessing the site processes technically necessary data (IP address, timestamp, requested resource, browser type). This processing supports secure and stable operation and rests on our legitimate interest.

4. Cookies and consent

Strictly necessary cookies support security, language selection and page delivery; they are always active. Optional categories — analytics, preferences and marketing — are set only after your explicit consent.

Your selection is stored locally in your browser. You may withdraw or change it at any time by clearing this site's storage in your browser; the consent dialog will then appear again.

Your language choice is stored locally for convenience and is not shared with third parties.

5. Contact form

Submitted details (name, email address, department, message) are used solely to handle your enquiry. Please do not submit health data or genetic results through this form; special categories of personal data are not processed here.

6. Data governance in research and teaching

Genetic content presented on this website is drawn from publicly available reference sources and contains no identifiable patient data. University research data is subject to separate consent, ethics and access procedures and is not published through this website.

7. Recipients and international transfers

Data is disclosed to third parties only where necessary to operate the website or required by law. Where processing occurs outside the EEA, we ensure appropriate safeguards under Art. 44 et seq. GDPR.

8. Your rights

You have the right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing and data portability, the right to object to processing, and the right to withdraw consent at any time. You may also lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
