We, at Stüssi-Neves Advogados, offer a wide range of legal services, mainly focused on companies, in the most diverse business segments. We also disclose, through our website and other digital platforms (such as e-mail and social media), legal content and information on matters that may be of interest to our clients and/or the general public.
By the very nature of our profession, we have legal obligations regarding the confidentiality of the information provided to us, but in addition, we are committed to safeguarding your privacy and giving due protection to your personal data, whether you are our client or not. The purpose of this document is to clarify what personal data we collect from our clients, former clients, potential clients, service providers, suppliers and other people with whom we maintain contact, by any platform or means of communication, and how this data is treated.
If you do not agree with the contents of this document, we do not recommend downloading our materials or using any of our services.
First of all, we list below some information that will help you better understand our Privacy Notice:
Privacy is a right that is guaranteed not only by the Federal Constitution, but also by sectorial legislation, such as the Civil Rights Framework for the Internet and the Consumer Defense Code, and especially Law 13.709/2018, known as the General Law of Personal Data Protection (“LGPD”).
The LGPD contains a number of important concepts, among which we highlight the following:
Personal Data – information that allows individuals to be identified (for example, name, identity number, CPF, address, bank details, etc.);
Sensitive Personal Data – personal data concerning more intimate aspects of the data subject, that need greater protection, such as data of racial or ethnic origin, religious convictions, political opinions, among others, as expressly set out in the LGPD;
Data Subject – the “owner” of the data, that is, the person to whom the data refers. You are the owner of your personal and sensitive data.
Data Processing – any action that can be performed with your data, involving your entire “life cycle”. It includes, for example, access, collection, processing, storage, disposal;
International transfer of data – the transfer of personal data to a foreign country or international agency;
Anonymization – the technical procedure used to prevent certain data from being linked to a certain person. The anonymized information is not considered personal data for the purposes of the LGPD.
Which data are processed
In the exercise of our activities, we can process personal data of our former, current and potential clients, employees, business partners, suppliers, service providers and other people with whom we maintain some degree of contact, as follows:
(i) provided by you (or your representative) and/or collected from our direct contacts with you, in person, via e-mail, telephone, virtual platforms or any other mode of interaction, especially with the purpose of providing the services provided by this office;
(ii) data collected by third parties with whom we have contact (e.g. from service providers, commercial partners etc.).
(iii) data made public by you or data access to which is public, through research, verification, investigations and/or other legally valid means to allow our adequate provision of services.
We will only process personal data (both ordinary and sensitive) to the extent necessary for performance of our contracts, to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, in furtherance of legitimate interests or other situations authorized by the LGPD.
