Our newsletters or news bulletins are offered free of charge, as a service for the business community, informing our subscribers about the legal perspective on events that affect their businesses.
In order to receive our newsletters, we need you to inform your name, e-mail address and preferred news categories. In this case, the legal grounds that justify the use of your personal data are, on the one hand, your explicit consent and, on the other, the legitimacy of our interest in getting them, with the purpose of rendering the delivery of our bulletins feasible.
By filling in the registration form, you grant access to your data to Mail Chimp, a business unit that specializes in automated multichannel communication, operated by the Rocket Science Group, LLC., hired for this sole purpose by our Communications Center.
The platform for the dispatch of e-mails uses web beacons, a technology that allows us to measure if our bulletins have been opened and for how long, if your links to our website were activated and which topics and authors are preferred by our subscribers. The platform is not set up to send SMS (Short Message Service) or MMS (Multimedia Message System), nor to dispatch push, mobile or web notifications.
How to cancel our newsletters
You may cancel the delivery of our bulletins, notices and corporate releases yourself, using the «cancel» link, inscribed at the bottom of our newsletters.
How to alter your news categories preferences
Simply repeat the registration procedure, fill in the form with your new preferences, which will replace the previous ones.
The sharing of information, such as (a) personal documents, (b) address, (c) educational background, (d) professional experience, (e) core of skills and knowledge, (f) experience with foreign languages, (g) international experiences and (h) contributions for the community, is necessary for our office to be able to judge the correspondence between available job positions and the profiles of candidates. The availability of this information is essential for the flow of the selective process and, from a legal point of view, is necessarily justified as a «preliminary contract procedure».
The subscription to participate in our selective processes is done exclusively by means of our digital form and dispenses with e-mails, messages, phone calls and the sending of files of any kind.
As a matter of principle, all data entered in the registration form and saved in our applications database are considered «personal data». In good faith, we consider this information to be true, reserving the right to verify it at the appropriate phase of the selective process ― and beyond it ― in accordance with the law. In any case, candidates are ethically committed and legally accountable for the integrity of the provided information.
How to update or delete your CV
You can update your information as many times as you like, or yet delete your application permanently, by accessing your exclusive registry page, with your login and your secret password, which are automatically generated upon registration.
How long do we keep your data?
Your data will be completely deleted 180 days after your registration, or 180 days after your last update.
Our channel «Praeceptores et Alumni» is a means of connection and interaction for our ex-staff members through our Communications Center.
In order to receive our invitations and corporate releases, we need you to inform your name and e-mail address. In this case, the legal grounds that justify the use of your personal data are, on the one hand, your explicit consent and, on the other, the legitimacy of our interest in getting them, with the purpose of rendering the delivery of our content feasible.
By filling in the registration form, you grant access to your data to Mail Chimp, a business unit that specializes in automated multichannel communication, operated by the Rocket Science Group, LLC., hired for this sole purpose by our Communications Center.
The platform for the dispatch of marketing e-mails uses web beacons, a technology that allows us to measure if our bulletins have been opened and for how long, if your links to our website were activated and which topics and authors are preferred by our ex-members. The platform is not set up to send SMS (Short Message Service) or MMS (Multimedia Message System), nor to dispatch push, mobile or web notifications.
How to unsubscribe from our releases and invitations
You may cancel the delivery of our bulletins, notices and corporate releases yourself, using the «cancel» link, inscribed at the bottom of our newsletters.
The registry for professionals and businesses interested in offering supplies or services to our office is done exclusively by means of the appropriate digital form and dispenses with e-mails, messages and phone calls.
We receive the information given by our potential suppliers and service providers in good faith, taking them for the truth, yet reserving the right to verify at the appropriate point of the hiring procedure ― and beyond ―, in accordance with the law. In this respect, potential and contacted suppliers and service providers are ethically committed and legally responsible for the integrity of the provided information, at any time, regardless of them being hired or not.
Compliance with the General Law for the Protection of Personal Data and the guidelines of the National Agency for Data Protection is a non-negotiable requirement for the consideration of business proposals of all suppliers and service providers. Registered businesses and professionals may be requested by our office to give evidence of this compliance, by: (a) presenting documents, certificates, seals and technical approvals; (b) in-person or remote presentation of workflows and processes; and (c) conducting of audits, in partnership with our trusted specialists for computer technology, computer engineering, programming, web design, cybersecurity, management of corporate IT-systems and others ― at any time and place ― as well as everything else necessary to ensure legal compliance.
The availability of personal data of the legal representatives of potential trade partners or their operators is essential for the evaluation process for suppliers and service providers and is necessarily justified as a «preliminary contract procedure».
How long do we keep your data?
Your personal and professional contact information and the PDF-file with the corporate and/or commercial presentation of the company you represent will be completely deleted 90 days after your registration, or 90 days after your latest update. Automatic deletion eliminates all provided data, and is tantamount to oblivion.
Newsletters, applications database, «Praeceptores et Alumni» and the registry for suppliers and service providers are independent features, each one with its own base of personal data.
This allows for one person to receive our newsletter and subscribe to our applications database simultaneously. Or yet, that a former staff member, who subscribes to the «Praeceptores et Alumni» channel, is also able to submit a proposal as a service provider.
But yet, caution is required. Since those are different registers, deletion of your data associated with one cancelled service, does not simultaneously delete personal data associated with other services you may be subscribed to.
The present statement has the purpose of informing that we use cookies, web beacons and other similar technologies on our website or through it ― due to cookies, web beacons and similar technologies on third-party websites, that are linked to ours. This statement, aside from being an inseparable part of our Privacy Policy, explains what these technologies are, what we use them for and, furthermore, how you may deal with them ― keeping you in control.
We call the cookies that are set up by our own Communications Center «primary cookies». The cookies on third-party websites linked to ours are named «third-party cookies». These «third-party cookies» help us improve navigation for our visitors (or «users»). We do not, however, under any circumstance, use cookies, web beacons and other similar technologies to collect your personal data without your explicit allowance. Learn more about the cookies that we use ― and those we don't.
We use «primary cookies» and «third-party cookies» for a number of reasons. Some cookies are (a) essential, due to technical reasons, for the mere functioning of the website. Others, (b) functional cookies, allow us to improve the users' navigation experience. We also use cookies for statistical analyses, in order to measure both efficiency and effectiveness of our communication efforts ― and we call them (c) analytical or statistical cookies. Finally, the use of some cookies is specifically related to social media.
We do not use marketing or segmentation cookies
We do not, under any circumstance, apply cookies developed or adapted for (d) publicity, advertising or marketing purposes.
And how do they work?
Cookies are essential for the navigation on modern websites, as well as a functional requirement for the integration of websites and social media.
As you visit a website, it may place small text files on your personal or professional device (smartphones, smartwatches, tablets and computers). These micro files ― the cookies ― are small entries, that recognize your navigation preferences, so that your interaction with our content and features during your visits runs smoothly.
Most of the cookies and similar technologies used on the web are applied to identify your behavior patterns and decision making, with the goal of offering content, services and products that best match your expectations. Usually, cookies do not intend to know who you are, but to understand the profile of interests of the device's user.
Websites «ask» your favorite internet browser to store cookies on your devices. Based on these cookies, a website may, for instance, identify your location, in order to offer you the current weather forecast, open its pages in your native language, or record for how long you stayed on a particular page. Cookies are present on food delivery applications, on official government websites and on your preferred streaming platform. Cookies are, as they say, «all over the place».
Define your privacy settings on your browser.
Notice that websites can only request the allocation of cookies on your devices through your preferred browsers, and that you have the power to set them up to (1) delete previously allocated cookies, (2) prevent allocation beforehand or (3) limit allocation, thus adjusting your privacy settings as you find appropriate ― at any moment.
Remember, that you can only access the privacy setting controls of the browser you are currently using to navigate. Given below, are just a few examples of access links to the privacy settings of some of the most popular browsers.

Use your browsers smartly.
The browsers' privacy setting controls are your privacy's main defense line on the web.
The «life cycle» of cookies.
Essentially, there are two types of cookies that may be stored on your devices:
■ Session cookies, which enable you to move around on a website, from page to page, memorizing information of provisional usefulness, needed only during your navigation. By and large, they do not store any noticeable personal information, and are deleted automatically as you leave the browser. In other words: they stay as long as you keep your browser open, which means that taking your browser off the web eliminates the session cookies. This type of cookie enables the website to operate properly, for instance, for expanding and retracting menus, to make our fonts appear on your device's screen or to store your entries while filling in a form.
■ Persistent cookies enable the website to «remember» your preferences, so that you will find them again on future visits to the same pages. They may store identifiable personal information, that doesn't expire when you close the browser. Their duration depends on how they were set up by our Communications Center.
Regardless of the duration of the cookies' «life cycle », they all can (a) expire, (b) be renewed automatically ― if you don't delete them first ―, or (c) be replaced by new versions of themselves.

Essential cookies are not optional. You cannot deny them without substantially impairing your navigation. Offered as a service, they are directly defined by your basic requests, as, for instance, the definition of your privacy settings. Despite being essential, you may block them using your browser's control panel. However, doing so will compromise some basic resources. This type of cookies does not collect any identifiable personal information, nor do they inform the geolocation from which the website was accessed. They might be session cookies or persistent cookies.
We use functional cookies to memorize your choices, decisions and preferences, so that you don't have to repeat them on future visits, for instance, by showing you content in your preferred language, or avoiding offers of services that you had previously refused. This type of cookies does not collect any identifiable personal information as well, but we do capture your geolocation, with just enough precision to identify the language spoken at your access location.
In order to improve our website's design, as well as the quality of our editorial content, we use analytic cookies, that enable us to count the number of times our website was visited, learn by means of which keywords it was found and which are our user's preferred devices. Furthermore, they allow us to count the number of visits and learn about the immediate sources of traffic as, for example if it comes from our newsletters, or from one or the other social media outlet. In addition, they enable us to map the most popular pages (the so called «heatmap» of each page) and how long the visits last. This type of cookies does not record any identifiable personal information, but they do inform us about the country, state or province from which the website was accessed, without, however, identifying your precise geolocation. For your safety, the information is aggregate, and therefore anonymized.
We have disposed links on our website, leading to our public profiles on Instagram and LinkedIn, as well as to devices like Call-to-Action, which enable you to share our content with your friends through social media. This disposition of links doesn't use cookies itself, but, as soon as you access the social media networks, they will «ask» your browser to store cookies on your devices. Therefore, we recommend that our visitors learn more about the privacy policies of those networks and follow up on updates.
Web beacons are small graphic images, usually transparent (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs), laid upon clickable images, like, for instance, illustrations, photos or icons of the Call-to-Action type on websites and newsletters. Among other features, this technology serves to: (a) count views on a web page, (b) record the activation of one of the installed features or (c) inform the sender, that a bulletin sent by e-mail was viewed by a certain recipient, by means of a specialized platform.
Marketing or segmentation cookies are used to outline interests profiles and to identify behavior and decision-making patterns, in order to deliver tailormade advertising, that matches the users' singular expectations, according to the record of accumulated decisions, access and geolocation routines ― as well as your geolocation in real time. The use of these cookies is not a valid option for law firms in Brazil, due to their Code of Ethics and Discipline, neither would it be of VAZ DE ALMEIDA ADVOGADOS interest, regardless of the location our website is accessed from.
