Once processing is complete, in accordance with this section, data will be deleted or anonymized.

4. Legal Bases for Personal Data Processing

A legal basis for personal data processing is a legal foundation provided by law that justifies it. Thus, each personal data processing operation must have a corresponding legal basis.

We process our users' personal data in the following situations:
– With the consent of the data subject
– To comply with a legal or regulatory obligation by the controller
– For the regular exercise of rights in judicial, administrative, or arbitration processes
– For the execution of a contract or preliminary procedures related to a contract in which the data subject is a party, at the request of the data subject
– When necessary to meet the legitimate interests of the controller or a third party
– For credit protection

1. Consent
Certain personal data processing operations on our site will depend on the user's prior consent, which must be given freely, informed, and unequivocally.
The user may withdraw consent at any time, and if there is no legal basis allowing or requiring data retention, data provided with consent will be deleted.
Additionally, if desired, the user may refuse consent for specific data processing activities based on consent. In such cases, it is possible that some site functionalities dependent on that processing may not be available. The consequences of refusing consent for a specific activity will be informed before processing.

2. Compliance with Legal or Regulatory Obligations by the Controller

Some personal data processing operations, particularly data storage, will be carried out to comply with legal or regulatory obligations applicable to our activities.

3. Legitimate Interest
For certain personal data processing operations, we rely solely on our legitimate interest. To learn more about specific cases where we use this legal basis or to obtain more information about the tests we conduct to ensure its use, please contact our Personal Data Protection Officer through one of the channels listed in this Privacy Policy, in the "How to Contact Us" section.

5. User Rights

The site user has the following rights granted by the Personal Data Protection Law:
– Confirmation of the existence of processing     
– Access to data     
– Correction of incomplete, inaccurate, or outdated data     
– Anonymization, blocking, or deletion of unnecessary, excessive, or unlawfully processed data     
– Portability of data to another service or product provider, upon express request, in accordance with the national authority's regulations, observing commercial and industrial secrets     
– Deletion of personal data processed with the consent of the data subject, except in cases provided by law     
– Information on public and private entities with which the controller has shared data     
– Information about the possibility of not providing consent and the consequences of refusal     
– Withdrawal of consent

It is important to note that, under LGPD, there is no right to delete data processed based on legal bases other than consent unless the data is unnecessary, excessive, or processed in non- compliance with the law.

1. How the Data Subject Can Exercise Their Rights
To ensure that the user requesting to exercise their rights is indeed the data subject of the request, we may request documents or other information that can assist in their proper identification, in order to protect our rights and the rights of third parties. This will only be done if absolutely necessary, and the requester will receive all related information.

6. Security Measures in Personal Data Processing

We employ technical and organizational measures to protect personal data from unauthorized access and from destruction, loss, theft, or alteration.
The measures we use take into account the nature of the data, the data, the context and purpose of processing, the risks that a potential breach would pose to the rights and freedoms of the user, and the current market standards for similar companies.
Among the security measures we adopt, we highlight the following:
User data is stored in a secure environment.
Access to user data is restricted so that unauthorized third parties cannot access it.
We use SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certification to ensure that data transmission between users' devices and our servers is encrypted.
We maintain records of all individuals who have had any form of contact with our data.
Although we take all possible measures to prevent security incidents, it is possible that issues may arise due to third parties—such as hacker attacks—or due to the user's exclusive fault, for example, if they share their data with a third party. Therefore, while we are generally responsible for the personal data we process, we disclaim responsibility for exceptional situations beyond our control.
In any case, if a security incident occurs that could pose significant risk or damage to any of our users, we will notify the affected parties and the National Data Protection Authority, in compliance with the General Data Protection Law.

7. Complaint to a Regulatory Authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial recourse, data subjects who feel aggrieved in any way may file a complaint with the National Data Protection Authority.
