TERMS & DEFINITIONS
For the purposes of this Privacy Policy (“Policy”), we refer to “Platform” as the entire structure existing in electronic addresses “http://www.france.adv.br", “http://france.adv. br”, “https://www.france.adv.br”, or “https://france.adv.br”, where categorized content (“Functionalities”) is made available to users, through possible registration ( “Registration”) and Registration (“Registration”) to receive our Monthly Newsletters (“Bulletins”) and optionally, to subscribe at Events (“Events”) held by the firm. “User” is any and all individuals who, in some way, access the Platform making use of our content, regardless of registration or not.
The registration of Legal Entities (“PJ”) as users of the Platform must necessarily be carried out by one of their Legal Representatives (“Representative”), duly authorized.

Likewise, we do not collect information nor do we maintain a record of users in such a situation in our database.

Registration is necessary so that the User can properly receive all the Functions that the Platform proposes, directing the desired content to the User, through their Personal Information (“Personal Data”). It is not possible to offer the Platform's Functionalities without access to the User's Personal Data, that is, the processing of Personal Data is a condition for the User to use the Platform.

The LGPD establishes several situations in which the processing of Personal Data is permitted, regardless of the consent of the holder of that Personal Data. These are called “legal bases for data processing”.
This means that, if you choose to use the Platform, in some cases we may collect and process your Personal Data independently of your consent (if there is a “legal basis” provided for in the LGPD that allows us to do so). In other cases we will ask for your consent to use your Personal Data.
Currently, the FA Website, through its Platform, collects, in accordance with this policy, your consent only and solely for the processing related to registration on our Platform, subscription to Newsletters, participation in our Events, inserting Comments in our content and sending messages through the “Contact Us” form.

On the Platform's content pages there are several links to third party websites. We do not have any relationship with the websites indicated or pointed to by existing links, therefore, we cannot offer guarantees or be responsible for the observance of privacy or security on these websites. Due to the speed of changes on the Internet, we are also not responsible for broken links. Links to websites supported, supported or linked to the FA Website must contain explicit information.
Furthermore, before you access the content indicated in the respective links, we recommend that you consult the privacy policies of the corresponding websites, to be adequately informed regarding the use of your personal information.
The provisions contained in our Privacy Policy may be changed at our discretion and at any time, as well as when there is a legal need.
The new terms will always be valid, effective and binding after: (i) being published on the FRANCÊ Advogados Platform, or; (ii) be sent by email to the respective Users, or; (iii) be communicated in any other way to Users.
The most up-to-date published Privacy Policy will always be valid, so it is the User's responsibility to check the updated version of this Policy every time they visit the Platform.
