Privacy Statement

Public Law Review (Revista Direito Público - RDP) handles personal data in accordance to Brazilian General Data Protection Law (Law nº 13.709/2018), its principles, and foundations. Therefore, personal data provided to this journal will be used exclusively for the services provided by this publication and will not be made available for other purposes or to third parties.

To ensure clarity and organization regarding the data used, it is understood that the General Data Protection Law (Law No. 13.709/2018) establishes the subjects and operations involved in the process. In the context of a scientific journal, the seriousness concerning user data applies both in the normative sense and in the editorial workflow itself.

Thus, the data we collect are closely related to the activities performed by a scientific journal.

Data Collection by RDP

RDP collects personal data when users register (as readers, authors, or reviewers). At this stage, users must consent to the provision of data — including full name, email address, ORCID, institutional affiliation, nationality, curriculum summary/biography (optional), phone number (optional), and language proficiency (optional) — which will be accessed and used exclusively by the editorial team to complete the registration.

Purpose of Data Collection

The personal data collected by our journal are used solely for the performance of editorial activities and are never shared with third parties under any circumstances. From this data, statistical information is generated — such as the number of users by location (country, Brazilian region, and state), by institution, or by field of knowledge. These analyses are used both to monitor the metrics required by Capes and indexing agencies and to guide editorial policies and scientific dissemination, providing essential tools to promote the democratic circulation of knowledge.

Systematically, the data collected aim to fulfill the following purposes:

  • Fulfill our obligations to CAPES as a journal of excellence, in accordance to its evaluation criteria;
  • Manage the data internally to better support the functions of the Editorial Committee of RDP;
  • Perform internal operations, including troubleshooting, data analysis, and research;
  • Verify and validate user identity for registration purposes and to comply with legal requirements;
  • Prevent potentially illegal activities, combat fraud, and cybercrimes;
  • Enhance the protection and security of the data provided by users;
  • Contact users to inform them of updates related to Revista Direito Público or regarding any procedures to be carried out in the system.

Right to Be Forgotten and Deletion of Personal Data

 The processing of personal data will cease upon user request via email to our editorial team or when the processing purpose has been achieved. We also guarantee that personal data will be deleted when no longer necessary or relevant for the services provided by this journal, unless there is another reason for its retention, such as a legal obligation to retain certain data under specific legislation.

Updating this Privacy Policy

We inform our users of their right to access their personal data through the journal’s system or by contacting the Editorial Committee of Revista Direito Público via email at direitopublico@idp.edu.br.
 We also inform that we may update or modify this privacy policy at any time. We recommend reviewing it periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting the personal data we collect.
