Privacy Policies

This policy describes the ways in which we collect, store, use, and protect your personal information.

You accept this policy and agree to such collection, storage, and use when you sign up for or use our products, services, or any other features, technologies, or functionality we offer, whether through your access to our website or otherwise.

We may change this policy at any time by posting a revised version on our website. The revised version will be effective as soon as it is posted on the website.

In addition, if the revised version includes a material change, we will provide you with 30 days’ notice by posting notice of the change on the “Policy Updates” page of our website.

After such 30-day notice, you will be deemed to have agreed to all amendments to this policy.

Opt-out Policy

Users of our services may at any time stop receiving communications from our website. To do so, simply send an email to [email protected] indicating that you no longer wish to receive communications, or simply click on the "unsubscribe" link at the end of each email.

How we collect information about you

When you visit the Materiais Guia do Homem website or use Materiais Guia do Homem Services, we collect your IP address and standard web access information such as your browser type and the pages you accessed on our site.

If you subscribe, we collect the following types of information:

* Contact information – your name, address, telephone number, email address and other similar information.

We may collect additional information from and about you through other means, such as from contacts with our customer support team, from the results of your responses to a survey, from interactions with members of the Materiais Guia do Homem corporate family and other companies.

How We Use Cookies

When you visit our website, we, including companies we hire to track how our website is used, may place small data files called “cookies” on your computer.

We send a “session cookie” to your computer when you log into your account or use the Materiais Guia do Homem Services. This type of cookie helps us recognize you if you visit multiple pages on our website during the same session, so that we don’t have to ask you if you visited any specific page.

Once you log out or close your web browser, this cookie will expire and no longer have any effect. We also use more permanent cookies for other purposes, such as to display your email address on our sign-in form so that you don’t have to re-enter your email address each time you log in to your account.

We encrypt our cookies so that only we can interpret the information stored in them. You are free to decline our cookies if your browser permits, but doing so may interfere with your use of our website.

We and our service providers also use cookies to personalize our services, content, and advertising, evaluate the effectiveness of promotions, and promote trust and security.

You may encounter third-party cookies when using the Materiais Guia do Homem Services on certain websites that are not under our control (for example, if you view a webpage created by a third party or use an application developed by a third party, a cookie may be placed by that page or application).

Meta Remarketing

We use the Meta Remarketing feature to serve ads on Meta partner sites. This feature allows us to identify that you have visited our site and so Meta can display our ad to you.

You can disable Meta’s use of cookies by accessing the Ads Preferences Manager.

How we protect and store personal information

Throughout this policy, we use the term “personal information” to describe information that can be associated with a specific person and can be used to identify that person. We do not consider personal information to be information that is intended to remain anonymous so that it does not identify a specific user.

We store and process your personal information on our computers and protect it with physical, electronic and procedural safeguards. We use computer safeguards such as firewalls and data encryption, and we apply physical access controls to our buildings and files and we only allow access to personal information to those employees who need it to perform their job responsibilities.

How we use the personal information we collect

Our primary purpose in collecting personal information is to provide you with a safe, smooth, efficient, and personalized experience. To do this, we use your personal information to:

* provide you with the services and customer support you request;

* prevent potentially prohibited or illegal activities and enforce our User Agreement;

* personalize, evaluate, and improve our services, as well as the content and layout of our website;

* send you targeted marketing materials, service update notices, and promotional offers based on your communication preferences;

* compare information for accuracy and verify it with third parties.

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes without your explicit consent. We may combine your information with information we collect from other companies and use it to improve and personalize our services, content, and advertising.

If you do not wish to receive marketing messages from us or participate in our advertising personalization programs, you can simply indicate your preference by sending us an email or simply clicking on the unsubscribe link provided in all of our emails.

How we share personal information with other parties

We may share your personal information with:

* Members of the Materiais Guia do Homem corporate family to provide you with joint content, products, and services (such as registration, transactions, and customer support), to help detect and prevent potentially illegal acts and violations of our policies, and to help us decide on products, services, and communications.

Members of our corporate family will use this information to send you marketing communications only if you have requested their services.

* Service providers under contract who assist in parts of our business operations (fraud prevention, collection activities, marketing, technology services). Our contracts require these service providers to use your information only in connection with the services they perform for us, and not for their own benefit.
* Companies with which we intend to merge or acquire. (If a merger occurs, we will require the newly formed entity to follow this privacy policy with respect to your personal information. If your personal information may be used contrary to this policy, you will be provided with advance notice.)
* Law enforcement agencies, government officials, or other third parties when:
* we are compelled to do so by subpoena, court order, or similar legal process,
* we need to do so to comply with the law or credit card association rules,
* we are cooperating with an ongoing law enforcement investigation,
* we have a good faith belief that disclosure of your personal information is necessary to prevent physical harm or financial loss, to report suspected illegal activity, or to investigate violations of our User Agreement.
* other third parties with your consent or direction to do so.
* When you send us a message as a testimonial, we may print it and publish it on our networks without prior notice, completely hiding any personal information, so that this testimonial remains 100% anonymous.

Please note that these third parties may be located in other countries where the legislation on the processing of personal information is less strict than that of your country. In cases where our company and a partner jointly promote our Services, we may disclose to the partner some personal information such as the name, address and username of the people who signed up for our Services as a result of the joint promotion for the sole purpose of allowing us and the partner to evaluate the results of the promotion. In this case, personal information may not be used by the partner for any other purpose. Materiais Guia do Homem will not sell or rent any of your personal information to third parties in the normal course of business and only shares your personal information with third parties as described in this policy.

If you register for Materiais Guia do Homem directly on a third-party website or through a third-party application, any information you enter on that website or application (and not directly on a Materiais Guia do Homem website) will be shared with the owner of that website or application – and your information may be subject to their privacy policies.
