24 . 11 . 2020 Published in News

This Privacy and Personal Data Processing Policy (“Privacy Policy”) aims to inform you of the forms in which Escanhoela Advogados Associados – EAA (“EAA”) collects and processes your personal data to render its legal services.

The conditions of this Privacy Policy are applicable to EAA’s clients, as well as to all those who access its homepage, located at www.escanhoela.com.br, contact EAA (including through its social media), or who interact with EAA in any form that implies the exchange of information and personal data with EAA.

By contacting EAA, accessing the site www.escanhoela.com.br, or hiring EAA’s services, you accept and thoroughly consent with the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy.

The non-agreement with the personal data processing in the terms of this Privacy Policy may cause the impossibility of adequate rendering of legal services by EAA, in which case it may reserve to itself the right to refuse the contracting of the requested services.

For the purpose of this Privacy Policy, the adopted definition of personal data processing is that set forth on Law No. 13709/2018, that is, data processing is defined as all operations done with personal data, such as those referring to the collection, production, reception, classification, use, access, reproduction, transmission, distribution, processing, filing, storage, elimination, information evaluation or control, modification, communication, transference, diffusion or extraction.

General Use of Data

EAA only collects information or personal data with the express consent of its owner, or in the cases that the collection without need of consent is permitted by law, especially in, but not limited to, the following hypotheses:

– for the performance of EAA’s legal and regulatory obligations;

– for the performance of agreements or of preliminary procedures related to agreements; and

– for the regular exercise of EAA’s and its clients’ rights in judicial, administrative or arbitral procedures.

The information and personal data collected by EAA is stored in secure databanks, managed by third parties, and are protected by the use of technologies that are adequate for that purpose.

Information referring to our clients and users will not be used or transmitted outside of what is permitted by the legislation in force without the consent of its owner.

Information received from third parties

We may use information received in accordance with the data protection legislation from third parties, including public information made available by government authorities, such as, as an example, information within lawsuits that are not closed to the public, to update our registers and to render our services.

Personal Data Processing

The information and personal data collected by EAA will be used for the following purposes:

– Rendering of legal services by EAA to its clients;

– Contact with EAA’s clients, as well as with possible clients, candidates to job openings, and anybody else that is interested in contacting EAA;

– Verification of disconformities that are pointed out, respecting the secrecy and anonymity of the person who does the communication, when requested in the filled-out form for the communication of disconformity;

– Performance of EAA’s legal and regulatory obligations;

– For the performance of agreements or of preliminary procedures related to agreements in which EAA is involved; and

– For the regular exercise of EAA’s and its clients’ rights in judicial, administrative or arbitral procedures.

The processing of personal data may also be done in other hypotheses besides the ones set forth above, so long as EAA obtains the authorization of the owner of the personal data for such processing, or that it fits one of the hypotheses in which the data protection legislation in force authorizes its performance without need of consent from the owner.

EAA does not commercialize the personal data collected from its clients, the users of its site, or any other person.

Operators

EAA may use the services of third parties to perform data processing in its behalf (i.e.: databanks, legal management platforms), which will qualify as operators, performing the processing of personal data transferred by EAA in the terms of the data protection legislation in force.

It is forbidden for data operators hired by EAA to use the received personal data for any purpose besides the performance of its contractual, legal and regulatory obligations.

Personal Data Security

EAA adopts the necessary and adequate security precautions to protect the received and processed personal data, in the terms of the legislation in force.

Updates to the Privacy Policy

The most recent version of this Privacy Policy always may be found on the site www.escanhoela.com.br.

This Privacy Policy may be updated by EAA, who will send to its clients a notice of any change or update to this policy, by the contact e-mail registered into our system.

Termination of the Personal Data Processing

The termination of the processing of personal data by EAA may be requested by any client or third party, by sending an e-mail to the electronic address privacidade@escanhoela.com.br, for  the request to be analyzed and the necessary measures be adopted.

Even after the request of termination of data processing is sent to EAA, it may, in the case that the hypotheses set forth in law that permit the continuity of data processing without need of consent are present, keep processing the personal data to which it understands that such hypotheses are applicable.

Besides, even if the hypotheses of permission to process data without consent are not applicable, EAA may conserve the processed data when necessary for the performance of its legal or regulatory obligations, for its exclusive use, being forbidden the access to third parties, by means of anonymization, or on the other hypotheses allowed by the legislation in force, adopting the necessary caution for such.
