We collect personal information only when you voluntarily provide it. This occurs through the contact form on this website, which may request your name, email address, phone number, and the content of your message.

We do not collect sensitive personal data, financial data, or identification documents through this website.

4. How We Use Your Information

The information you provide is used exclusively to respond to your inquiry and, where applicable, to proceed with an advisory engagement. We do not use your information for automated decision-making or profiling.

The legal basis for processing your data under the GDPR is your consent, given at the moment you submit the contact form, and, where an advisory relationship is established, the performance of a contract.

Under the LGPD, processing is based on your consent and on the legitimate interest of responding to your inquiry.

No personally identifiable information is collected through analytics cookies.

You will be asked to consent to non-essential cookies when you first visit the site. You may withdraw or change your cookie preferences at any time through the cookie settings available on the site.

Under the LGPD (Brazil), you have the right to access, correct, delete, or transfer your personal data; the right to information about third parties with whom data has been shared; and the right to withdraw consent.
