Privacy Policy

Version of 11/11/2026. This policy explains, in plain language, how personal data submitted through this website is processed.

Who is the data controller

The controller of the personal data processed through this website is Dr. Katia Lopes, a physician registered with the Brazilian Regional Council of Medicine (CRM) under No. 225556/SP. For any matter regarding your data, contact katia.ale.lopes@gmail.com.

Data protection officer: the controller herself, at katia.ale.lopes@gmail.com.

What data we collect

Through the contact form: name, email and/or phone number and, if you wish, a message. We also record your acceptance of this policy, with the date, the policy version, your browser identification (user agent) and a pseudonymized code derived from your IP address (keyed hash).

This website does not request health data. Please do not include health information in the form message; it will only be handled during the appointment, in the medical record, under professional confidentiality.

How we use the data

The data is used solely to respond to your inquiry and schedule appointments. We do not send advertising and do not use your data for any other purpose.

Legal basis

Processing is based on your consent (Article 7, I, of Brazilian Law No. 13,709/2018), given when you check the acceptance box on the form. You may withdraw your consent at any time.

We also keep the record of your acceptance on the basis of the regular exercise of rights (art. 7, VI), to prove that consent was given.

How long we keep the data

Contact data and the consent record are kept for as long as needed to answer your request and arrange the appointment, and are automatically deleted within 12 months of the last contact, unless the law requires otherwise.

Sharing

We do not sell or transfer your data. It may be stored by hosting and technology service providers hired to keep the website running, which process the data only according to our instructions and with appropriate security measures.

If you choose to contact us via WhatsApp, the conversation goes through Meta’s service, which has its own privacy policy and may process data outside Brazil.

Data may also be shared when required by law or by order of a competent authority.

Your rights

Under Article 18 of the LGPD, you may request: confirmation that processing takes place; access to the data; correction of incomplete, inaccurate or outdated data; anonymization, blocking or deletion of unnecessary or excessive data; portability; deletion of data processed based on consent; information about sharing; information about the possibility of not giving consent and its consequences; and withdrawal of consent.

To exercise your rights, write to katia.ale.lopes@gmail.com. You may also file a complaint with Brazil's National Data Protection Authority (ANPD).

Cookies and usage statistics

This website only uses storage that is strictly necessary for it to work, including saving your cookie choice in your browser. Analytics tools are only enabled after you accept, and you can decline them without affecting your browsing. To change your choice at any time, use the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer.

Security

We take technical and administrative measures to protect the data, such as encrypted connections (HTTPS), restricted access and minimizing the information collected.
