We take the confidentiality of client information seriously as a matter of both professional duty and legal compliance. This policy is drafted in accordance with the Brazilian General Data Protection Law (LGPD — Law No. 13.709/2018).
2. Information We Collect
We may collect the following categories of information:
- Contact details voluntarily provided when a visitor sends a message through the website contact form or by e-mail, including name, e-mail address, phone number and any content of the message itself.
- Client information provided during the course of an engagement, including documents and facts necessary to advise on or handle the matter.
- Basic technical information generated automatically when the website is visited, such as browser type, device type and pages viewed. This information is used only to keep the site functioning and secure.
3. How We Use the Information
Personal information is used solely for the purposes for which it was provided, including:
- Responding to inquiries received through the contact form or by e-mail.
- Providing legal services under an existing engagement letter.
- Sending information the visitor or client has specifically requested.
- Meeting legal, accounting and professional obligations that apply to a Brazilian law practice.
We do not sell, rent or otherwise commercialize personal information, and we do not share it with third parties for marketing purposes.
4. Legal Basis for Processing
Under Brazilian law, we rely on the following legal bases to process personal data: the consent of the data subject; the execution of a contract or of preliminary steps at the request of the data subject; the fulfillment of a legal or regulatory obligation; and the legitimate interest of the practice in operating a legal service, always subject to the fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject.
5. Storage and Security
Personal information is stored in a controlled manner and is accessible only to the attorney responsible for the matter and, where strictly necessary, to authorized administrative support. We adopt reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information against unauthorized access, loss or improper use, including access controls, secure storage of physical files and standard security practices for digital communications.
6. Retention Period
Client information is retained for as long as necessary to provide the legal services engaged and, thereafter, for the period required by professional, tax and legal obligations applicable to law practices in Brazil. Once these purposes are served and no legal obligation to retain the information remains, the data is deleted or anonymized.
7. Rights of Data Subjects
Under the LGPD, individuals whose personal data we process have the right to request confirmation of processing, access to their data, correction of inaccurate or incomplete data, anonymization or deletion of unnecessary data, portability, information about entities with which the data has been shared, and revocation of consent, subject to the exceptions and limits set by law.
Requests may be sent to [email protected]. We respond within a reasonable time and, in any event, within the periods established by applicable law.
8. Cookies and Website Analytics
This website may use basic cookies to keep the site working and to gather anonymous statistics about how the site is used. Cookies do not, by themselves, identify individual visitors. Browsers can be configured to refuse or notify about cookies at any time.
9. Third-Party Services
The website does not routinely integrate with third-party marketing platforms. Where a technical provider is used to deliver the website or its e-mail, we take reasonable steps to select providers that maintain adequate security and confidentiality standards.
10. Confidentiality Beyond This Policy
