Legal Basis

All personal data processing operations are conducted in accordance with Brazilian legislation on personal data protection, thereby providing a legal basis for our activities related to the ORIGEM Yearbook.

The legal basis utilized is consent, which arises from your authorization for the Co-realizers to process your personal data – this after receiving clear and explicit information regarding the types of data and specific purposes for data processing. This occurs when you fill out our form to participate in ORIGEM.

If you change your mind and wish to revoke your consent, please contact us at any time through the provided contact channels and inform us of your decision. In all our promotional emails regarding the Yearbook, you can also revoke your consent by simply navigating to the bottom of the message and clicking on “unsubscribe”.

All your data processed solely based on consent will be immediately deleted, except for those that need to be retained due to compliance with legal obligations or legal or judicial orders and to defend the interests of the Co-realizers in any administrative or judicial measures.

Storage, Conservation and Elimination of Personal Data

The Co-organizers store, within the national territory, the personal data collected on third-party servers that comply with the security standards established by data protection legislation.

The personal data collected, both during the registration phase and in the forms, is retained for the annual update of the ORIGEM Yearbook database. The update may occur based on information provided by the Participant or upon their request, as well as considering publicly available databases.

These data will be stored and maintained for the purpose of annual updating, so there will be no voluntary deletion of this data by the Co-realizers.

These data will remain in subsequent publications of the ORIGEM Yearbook until their deletion is requested by the data subject or their legally authorized representative.

All other information received in the survey will be compiled for the preparation of the yearbook and, after its publication, will be deleted.

If you are a Participant and wish to no longer appear in the Yearbook, please request the deletion of your data directly from LEC, at privacidade@lec.com.br, based on Article 18 of the GDPR.
