Privacy and Personal Data Protection Policy.
The law firm Gleicher, Canêdo & Chagas Advogados has the mission of offering excellent legal solutions. To achieve this, it is necessary to process the personal data of clients, employees, correspondents, and partners.

Eventually, we may process data considered sensitive under the LGPD (Brazilian General Data Protection Law) — such as biometric, health, or ethnic origin data — when necessary for the exercise of rights in judicial, administrative, or arbitration proceedings, or in compliance with a legal obligation, always within the limits authorized by law.
3. What do we use the data for?
We process personal data for the following purposes:
(i) Performance of the contract for the provision of legal services or preliminary procedures related thereto;
(ii) Compliance with legal and regulatory obligations, including tax requirements and compliance with court orders;
(iii) Responding to requests and sending administrative information;
(iv) Defending the firm's interests in judicial or administrative proceedings;
(v) Sending electronic communications to anyone who maintains or has maintained a business relationship with the firm, always with the option to cancel (opt-out);
(vi) Statistical and internal management purposes, with data anonymized whenever possible.

After this period, the data is deleted or anonymized, except when its retention is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, defense in legal proceedings, or other cases expressly provided for in the LGPD (Brazilian General Data Protection Law).
6. Data Sharing
We may share personal data with third parties when necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including government agencies, financial institutions, office service providers (such as paralegal firms, accountants, technology platforms and translation services) and legal publications.
Whenever possible, we enter into data processing agreements with suppliers and service providers who have access to personal data, ensuring a level of protection consistent with this Policy and the LGPD (Brazilian General Data Protection Law).

We have adopted appropriate technical, organizational, and administrative measures to protect the personal data under our control, including restricted access to authorized personnel, a commitment to confidentiality, and secure storage. Cloud processing service providers are contracted with requirements that meet rigorous security standards.
In the event of a security incident that may pose a significant risk or harm to data subjects, the firm will take the measures provided for in the LGPD (Brazilian General Data Protection Law), including notifying the National Data Protection Authority (ANPD) and the affected data subjects, within the timeframes and conditions established by law.
8. Rights of Data Subjects
In accordance with Article 18 of the LGPD (Brazilian General Data Protection Law), holders of personal data processed by the firm have the right to: confirm the existence of the processing and access their data; request the correction of incomplete, inaccurate, or outdated data; request the anonymization, blocking, or deletion of data processed in violation of the law; obtain information about data sharing; request portability to another service provider; and revoke previously given consent, without prejudice to the lawfulness of processing carried out before the revocation.
