1. Who we are and to whom this policy applies

This Privacy Policy explains how the website geracaosamuel.org.br handles the personal data of those who visit it or contact us, in compliance with the Brazilian General Data Protection Law (Law No. 13,709/2018, LGPD).

This Policy applies only to the website. The processing of data of enrolled children, their families, beneficiaries of the PAE Project and employees takes place in separate internal processes, with specific purposes and legal bases, communicated directly to each data subject at the time of collection.

Cookies: the website uses only technical and access-measurement cookies, provided by the hosting platform. We do not use advertising cookies or remarketing tools. Visitors can block or delete cookies in their browser settings without affecting access to the content.

We may also share data with public authorities when there is a legal obligation or a court order.

4. Children, storage, security and data subject rights

Children and adolescents. The website is intended for guardians, partners and the community. We do not collect children’s data through the website. Images of children and adolescents are only published with specific, prominent authorization from one of the parents or legal guardian, in compliance with art. 14 of the LGPD and the Brazilian Statute of the Child and Adolescent. The authorization may be revoked at any time, with removal of the content.

Retention period. Messages and applications are kept for as long as necessary to handle the request and, after that, only for the period required by law or for the regular exercise of rights. Unused résumés are deleted within 12 months or earlier, at the applicant’s request. Browsing data follows the retention period of the hosting platform.

Security. We adopt reasonable technical and administrative measures to protect the data, including encrypted connection (HTTPS), administrative access restricted to authorized persons and use of an institutional account. No system is entirely immune to failures; in the event of an incident that may cause relevant risk or harm, we will notify the affected data subjects and the Brazilian National Data Protection Authority (ANPD), as required by law.

Data subject rights (art. 18 of the LGPD). The data subject may request, at any time and upon request:

• confirmation that processing exists and access to the data;
• correction of incomplete, inaccurate or outdated data;
• anonymization, blocking or deletion of unnecessary data or data processed in violation of the law;
• portability, under ANPD regulations;
• information about with whom the data has been shared;
