When it comes to reading Privacy Policies, it’s no news that many people 'skip' this step and agree to the terms right away. However, the Privacy Policy is a document that tells users, among other information, which data will be collected during navigation and for what purpose.
Therefore, reading it is essential, after all, only then users will be aware of the terms and conditions they’re accepting to use the services offered by websites and applications. A lot of data can be collected, including personal data provided by users themselves through forms, or collected by the system as navigation information (cookies), location, user behavior on the site or application, and others. All this data must be treated and handled with the utmost rigor.
Brazil’s General Personal Data Protection Law (LGPD in Portuguese) exists for this purpose, it determines a series of measures that companies, institutions, and organizations must adopt to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of stored data. Publishing privacy policies and terms is only one part of this process. The law also specifies how the data collected must be stored and protected, and even includes penalties in the event of data leaks or other irregularities. Find out how it works in your country.
