TERMS & DEFINITIONS

For the purposes of this Privacy Policy (“Policy”), we refer to “Platform” as the entire structure existing in electronic addresses “http://www.france.adv.br", “http://france.adv. br”, “https://www.france.adv.br”, or “https://france.adv.br”, where categorized content (“Functionalities”) is made available to users, through possible registration ( “Registration”) and Registration (“Registration”) to receive our Monthly Newsletters (“Bulletins”) and optionally, to subscribe at Events (“Events”) held by the firm. “User” is any and all individuals who, in some way, access the Platform making use of our content, regardless of registration or not.

The registration of Legal Entities (“PJ”) as users of the Platform must necessarily be carried out by one of their Legal Representatives (“Representative”), duly authorized. For the purposes of this Policy, when the User is a PJ, the legal representative who carried out the registration is also considered “User”, since their personal data must be provided and manipulated on the Platform to carry out the Registration.

Minors under 18 (eighteen) years of age (“Minors”) do not must register on our Platform. Likewise, we do not collect information nor do we maintain a record of users in such a situation in our database. When we become aware of information or registrations in such situations, they will be summarily banned from our databases, without any prior notice.

Registration is necessary so that the User can properly receive all the Functions that the Platform proposes, directing the desired content to the User, through their Personal Information (“Personal Data”). It is not possible to offer the Platform's Functionalities without access to the User's Personal Data, that is, the processing of Personal Data is a condition for the User to use the Platform.

Furthermore, our Platform uses Cookies (“Cookies”) to identify our users. Cookie is a type of file downloaded to the equipment that the User uses to access the Platform, such as computer/smartphone/tablet, etc. (“Device”) when accessing certain web pages, which aims to store and retrieve information about browsing habits that is carried out through the user’s Device.

This Policy explains, in a simple, objective and transparent way, which Personal Data is collected and processed by FRANCE Advogados and for what purposes, in addition to indicating with whom it can be shared and what resources are available to Users to manage Personal Data.

Data collection begins when the User begins to interact with the Platform. For example, when accessing the Platform, the user will observe a banner at the bottom, informing them of the use of Cookies by the Platform. When you click on “Accept” or “Accept All Cookies”, as applicable, a record containing your choice will be generated and stored in our database. Likewise, a Cookie will be generated, storing your choice and sending it to the User's Device. When the user returns to the Platform, their choice regarding our Cookies will be saved, both in our database and in the Cookie sent to the User's Device, so that the User will not need to make their choice again.

The FA Website uses “Cookies” to identify users or browse. Some cookies on this site are essential and the site will not function as expected without them. These cookies are set when you submit a form, log in or interact with the site by doing something other than clicking simple links.

We also use non-essential cookies to anonymously track visitors or improve their experience on the Platform. If there is no User interaction with the Platform, Cookies will not be generated.

We store your Personal Data securely on our servers in Brazil. We adopt the best technical and administrative practices to protect Personal Data from unauthorized access, destruction, loss, alteration, communication, violation or any form of inappropriate or illicit treatment.

8. Do you need to consent to the use of your Personal Data as described in the Policy?

The LGPD establishes several situations in which the processing of Personal Data is permitted, regardless of the consent of the holder of that Personal Data. These are called “legal bases for data processing”.

This means that, if you choose to use the Platform, in some cases we may collect and process your Personal Data independently of your consent (if there is a “legal basis” provided for in the LGPD that allows us to do so). In other cases we will ask for your consent to use your Personal Data. 

Currently, the FA Website, through its Platform, collects, in accordance with this policy, your consent only and solely for the processing related to registration on our Platform, subscription to Newsletters, participation in our Events, inserting Comments in our content and sending messages through the “Contact Us” form. If there are any changes to our Privacy Policy or the processing of our Users' Personal Data, making it necessary to collect your consent, you will be informed (see item 10 below) so that your consent is properly collected in accordance with the LGPD.

9. Third Party Websites

On the Platform's content pages there are several links to third party websites. We do not have any link with the websites indicated or pointed to by existing links, therefore, we cannot offer guarantees or be responsible for the observance of privacy or security on these websites. Due to the speed of changes on the Internet, we are also not responsible for broken links. Links to websites supported, supported or linked to the FA Website must contain explicit information.

Furthermore, before you access the content indicated in the respective links, we recommend that you consult the privacy policies of the corresponding websites, to be adequately informed regarding the use of your personal information.
