Now, let's talk about how we protect your personal data in full compliance with Brazilian law


Privacy Policy

The Privacy and Cookie Policy of Monique Fernandes Advogada explains how we process data from users, clients, and collaborators. Through this policy, we inform you of our commitment to the security and privacy of information provided by users through the Contact section, as well as the submission of résumés. We also clarify what personal data is collected, the reasons for collection, how the data is used, shared, deleted, and the rights of data subjects.

Under the Brazilian General Data Protection Law (LGPD – Law No. 13.709/18), individuals have the following rights regarding their personal data:
  1. Right to confirmation of processing – Request clear information about what data the site holds and how it is used.
  2. Right of access – Free access to the personal data the site holds. Requests may be made through the Contact page.
  3. Right to correct inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated data – Request rectification of such data.
  4. Right to anonymization, blocking, or deletion of unnecessary or excessive data, or data processed unlawfully.
  5. Right to data portability to another lawyer (except commercial or industrial secrets of Monique Fernandes Advogada).
  6. Right to deletion of personal data processed based on consent, except where legal grounds require retention.
  7. Right to information about public and private entities with whom data has been shared.
  8. Right to withdraw consent at any time.
  9. Right to assurance of availability, authenticity, integrity, and confidentiality of data.
  10. Right to be notified by email about changes in data processing that require new consent.

Personal data collected (name, email, and phone number) is provided voluntarily and with consent. The purpose is communication only, and data will be protected under Law 13.709/2018.
  • Name: needed to address your question/message.
  • Email: needed to send a response.
  • Phone number: used if email communication fails.

Data will not be shared with third parties and will be deleted upon user request. Only the lawyer will have access to the stored personal data. No personal information will be sold or disclosed.

Data sharing with website partners occurs only when necessary to provide site services. Third parties may use the data only for contracted purposes.

Current partners include:

  • Google Analytics – statistical website usage data.
  • Website designer – statistical data for improvements.

Data may also be shared to comply with legal obligations, court orders, investigations, or to protect individuals’ safety, provided such interests do not override data subject rights.

User data will be stored only for the time necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including compliance with laws, contracts, legal obligations, or authorities. Data will be deleted when requested by the user or when no longer needed, except when legal obligations require retention.

Storage time depends on:

  • quantity, type, and sensitivity of data
  • potential risks
  • purpose and necessity
  • legal requirements

We are not responsible for third-party privacy practices. You must review their Privacy Policies and Terms of Use.

Security measures may require identity verification before responding to requests. This ensures personal data is not shared with unauthorized individuals.

Although we apply technical and organizational measures to protect data, no system is 100% secure. If you are aware of any security issue, contact us via the email on the Contact page with the subject “Security Breach”.

We do not directly transfer collected personal data outside Brazil. However, third-party services may store or process data on servers located in the United States. By using the website, you agree to such third-party international transfers, which may be subject to foreign laws.

We implement measures to protect personal data from destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized access, or misuse. Security procedures are regularly reviewed. The site is intended for users aged 18+. Personal data of children or adolescents will not be collected. Requests will be answered within 15 days, extendable for complex cases. For questions regarding your personal data rights, contact us via the Contact page and use the subject line “Questions about my personal data”.

Any email or communication not clearly originating from Monique Fernandes Advogada requesting personal data must be considered unauthorized and suspicious. Notify us immediately through the Contact page under the subject “Fraud Suspicion”.
