In any case, the collection of data and the resulting data processing activities will be informed to the site’s users.

Once processing is completed, and subject to the provisions of this section, the data is deleted or anonymized.

4. Legal bases for the processing of personal data:

Every personal data processing operation must have a legal foundation, that is, a legal basis, which is nothing more than a justification that authorizes it, as provided in the General Data Protection Law. All of our personal data processing activities have a legal basis that supports them, among those allowed by legislation. More information about the legal bases we use for specific personal data processing operations can be obtained from our contact channels, provided at the end of this Policy.

4.1. Consent

It is based on your consent that we process your personal data. Consent is the free, informed, and unequivocal expression by which you authorize Oliveira Alves Advogados to process your data.

Thus, in accordance with the General Data Protection Law, your data will only be collected, processed, and stored with prior and explicit consent.

Your consent will be obtained specifically for each purpose described above, evidencing the commitment to transparency and good faith of Oliveira Alves Advogados towards its users and clients, following the relevant legislative regulations.

By using our services and providing your personal data, you are aware of and consent to the provisions of this Privacy Policy, as well as knowing your rights and how to exercise them. At any time and at no cost, you can revoke your consent.

It is important to note that revoking consent for data processing can result in a decrease in the expected performance of some site functionality that depends on the operation. Such consequences will be informed in advance.

4.2 Compliance with legal or regulatory obligation by the controller

Some personal data processing operations, especially data storage, will be carried out so that we can comply with obligations set out in the law or other regulatory provisions applicable to our activities.

5. User Rights:

The website user has the following rights, conferred by the Personal Data Protection Law:

Confirmation of processing existence;

Access to the data;

Correction of incomplete, inaccurate, or outdated data;

Anonymization, blocking, or elimination of unnecessary, excessive, or data processed in non-compliance with the provisions of the law;

Data portability to another service or product provider, upon express request, in accordance with the regulations of the national authority, observing trade and industrial secrets;

Elimination of personal data processed with the consent of the holder, except in cases provided for by law;

Information on public and private entities with which the controller has shared data;

Information about the possibility of not giving consent and the consequences of refusal;

Revocation of consent.

It is important to note that, under the General Data Protection Law, there is no right to eliminate data processed based on legal foundations other than consent, unless the data are unnecessary, excessive, or processed in non-compliance with the provisions of the law.

5.1. How the data subject can exercise their rights

To ensure that the user who intends to exercise their rights is indeed the data subject of the request, we may request documents or other information that can assist in their correct identification, in order to protect our rights and those of third parties. This will only be done if absolutely necessary, and the requester will receive all related information.

6. Security Measures in the Processing of Personal Data:

We employ technical and organizational measures capable of protecting personal data from unauthorized access and situations of destruction, loss, misplacement, or alteration of this data.

The measures we use take into account the nature of the data, the context, and purpose of processing, the risks that a potential violation would pose to the rights and freedoms of the user, and the standards currently used in the market by companies similar to ours.

Among the security measures adopted by us, we highlight the following:

Our users’ data is stored in a secure environment;

We limit access to our users’ data so that unauthorized third parties cannot access them;

We use an SSL (Secure Socket Layer) certificate, ensuring that data transmission between user devices and our servers occurs in an encrypted manner;

We keep records of everyone who, in some way, interacts with our data.

Even though we do everything within our reach to prevent security incidents, there might be a situation that arises solely due to a third party – like in cases of hacker attacks – or even due to the exclusive fault of the user, which happens, for instance, when he/she transfers data to a third party. Thus, although we are generally responsible for the personal data we process, we disclaim responsibility for such exceptional situations over which we have no control.
Nevertheless, should any kind of security incident occur that may pose a significant risk or harm to any of our users, we will notify the affected parties and the National Data Protection Authority about the event, in accordance with the provisions of the General Data Protection Law.

7. Complaint to a Supervisory Authority:

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, data subjects who feel harmed can submit a complaint to the National Data Protection Authority.

We reserve the right to modify these guidelines at any time, particularly to adapt them to any changes made to our site, either by the provision of new features or by the removal or modification of existing ones.
