account numbers;

• Full-face photographic images and any comparable images;
• Photographic images of scars, tattoos, piercings, etc., which would allow

• Any other unique identification number, characteristic or code.
We alert that even if individual information may not break confidentiality by itself, the
sum of information posted online may be sufficient to identify a patient or someone
close to it.
Thus, other users or third parties who seek techniques to reidentify the data,
undertake to treat them in the terms allowed in the rules of protection of personal
data.
To ensure the best practices of its publication, in addition to anonymization
prior to the publication of medical images, you must obtain written authorization from
the patient.
The user agrees and warrants that he/she has removed all identifying
information and that he/she does not have effective knowledge that the images could
be used alone or in combination with other information to identify an individual who is
the object of the information.
Publications that mention the use or that stimulate the use and acquisition of
certain medical devices, we warn that the marketing and use of medical devices must
take place in accordance with the specific provisions applicable in each place of
operation of the user.
We assume no responsibility for the information provided about medical
devices, nor do we have any link with manufacturers or distributors of such devices.
The choice, use and disclosure of the devices are the sole responsibility of the user. You
are solely responsible for the communication and other interactions established with
other GI users or with other people who may interact because of the use of our
Platforms.
Although messages are sent and received safely, it is always the user's
responsibility to determine whether the recipient(s) is authorized to receive any
potentially sensitive personal data, such as health information from a specific patient.
Users are therefore responsible and committed to the information they send to other
users. GI cannot be held responsible for any privacy-sensitive information sent through
its features or any other of its Services by users without the proper authorization of its
owner.
Finally, we also provide a private MyDoc environment, which acts as a simplified
and optimized digital record of all procedures performed by the user. It is an excellent
option for the user who seeks to improve their processes, standardize, evolve, and
retain their patients.
The information recorded in MyDoc is important and covers the identification of
the patient and reports on his/her health status and procedure performed.
The stored data is only accessible by the duly registered user. We do not have access
to that information. We guarantee that this data will not be published in any event, and
we take technical measures to keep it private and confidential, such as encryption and
reinforcement in user authentication.
We advise the user to adopt strong password to keep their personal
information safe; protect your files and other content and prevent someone else from
going into that field. We warn you that the password is for personal use and should not
be shared with third parties.
The user agrees and warrants that he has taken all precautions in creating and
maintaining his/her unique access password and that he/she has not shared the
password with third parties.
