Privacy Policy

At Wouzi, accessible from wouzi.com, the privacy of our visitors is a priority. This document describes what information we record, why we record it, and what you can do about it.

If you have any questions about this policy, reach us at [email protected].

This policy applies only to the online activity of this site and to visitors of wouzi.com. It does not cover information collected offline or through other channels.

The handling of personal data described here follows the data protection laws that apply to you and the legal bases listed below.

We do not ask for sensitive data and we do not require registration to read the published content.

When you send us a message, the data you provide is used only to answer your contact.

This policy may be updated; the version published on this page is always the one in force.

Legal Basis for Processing

Depending on where you are, your personal data is protected by laws such as the EU General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679, "GDPR") and Brazil's General Data Protection Law (Law No. 13,709/2018, "LGPD"). Each purpose has its own legal basis:

1. messages sent through the form or by email: handling your request and our legitimate interest in answering it;
2. technical access logs and site security: our legitimate interest in keeping the site available and protected, and compliance with legal obligations;
3. audience measurement and advertising cookies: your consent, which you can withdraw at any time.

Information We Collect

When you contact us, we collect the name, email, subject and message you type into the form — nothing beyond that.

Automatically, we record technical browsing data sent by your browser, such as IP address, browser type and pages visited.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

1. operate and maintain the site;
2. understand how the content is used and improve it;
3. develop new sections and features;
4. answer the messages you send;
5. display advertising and evaluate its performance;
6. prevent abuse, fraud and misuse of the site;
7. comply with applicable legal obligations.

Log Files

Wouzi follows the standard procedure of using log files. These files log visitors when they visit a page — it is what practically every hosting service does as part of its usage analysis.

The information logged includes IP address, browser type, internet service provider, date and time, referring and exit pages, and number of clicks. It is not linked to any personally identifiable information and is used to analyze trends, administer the site and gather general demographic data.

Google DoubleClick DART Cookie

Google Ad is a third-party vendor on our site, which uses cookies known as DART cookies to serve ads to visitors based on their visits not only to our site but also to other sites on the internet. However, visitors have the option to opt out of DART cookies by visiting the Google ad and content network Privacy Policy at the following URL: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads.

Privacy Policies of Advertising Partners

The advertising partners of Wouzi may use their own cookies and web beacons. Each partner has its own privacy policy regarding the data it collects.

These third parties may use technologies such as cookies, JavaScript and web beacons in the ads and links that appear on wouzi.com, automatically receiving your IP address. This is used to measure campaign effectiveness and to personalize the advertising content you see.

We have no access to or control over the cookies used by third-party advertisers.

Third-Party Privacy Policies

This policy does not apply to other advertisers or sites. We recommend consulting the privacy policies of those third parties for detailed information and opt-out options.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings. For specific instructions, check the documentation of the browser you use.

Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a site. They allow the site to remember preferences and to understand how pages are used.

We use cookies to keep the site working properly, to measure audience in aggregate, and to make possible the advertising that sustains the publication of the content.

You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. If you do, some site features may stop working as expected, and you may need to adjust some preferences on every visit.

Cookies We Set

Depending on the features you use, the following types of cookie may be stored:

1. site preference cookies, which keep display settings;
2. session cookies, which hold state while you browse;
3. form cookies, which avoid losing what you typed;
4. newsletter cookies, which record an existing subscription;
5. search cookies, which remember what was searched on the site;

Third-Party Cookies

In some cases we also use cookies provided by trusted third parties. This section details which ones.

We use Google Analytics on this site, one of the most recognized and reliable analytics solutions on the internet, to gather information about your browsing behavior and improve your experience. These cookies have the capability to track data such as how long you spend on the site and the pages visited, enabling us to continue offering engaging content. For more information about Google Analytics cookies, please visit the official Google Analytics page.

Google AdSense, the service we use to display ads, uses a DoubleClick cookie. This cookie is intended to show you more relevant ads during your internet browsing while limiting how often a particular ad is shown to you.

For more information about AdSense, we recommend consulting the officially available FAQs about privacy in AdSense.

From time to time we test variations of the site to understand which presentation works better. While those tests run, a cookie may be used to keep you on the same version of the page.

We may also use cookies to measure conversions, that is, to know which pages led to a contact or a subscription.

When we publish affiliate partner links, cookies may be used to attribute the referral correctly.

Data Retention

We keep messages only for as long as needed to handle the request and, afterwards, only for the periods required by law. Technical access logs are kept for a limited period and then deleted.

International Transfers

Some providers, such as Google, may process data outside your country. In those cases, transfers rely on the safeguards required by the applicable law, such as the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework or the European Commission's standard contractual clauses.

Subject to the law that applies to you, you have the right to:

1. access the personal data we hold about you;
2. have inaccurate or incomplete data corrected;
3. have your data erased;
4. restrict or object to the processing of your data;
5. receive your data in a portable format;
6. withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting processing carried out before the withdrawal;
7. not be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing.

How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise any of these rights, write to [email protected] stating which right you wish to exercise. We will reply within the period set by the applicable law (one month under the GDPR).

If you believe your request was not handled properly, you can lodge a complaint with the data protection authority in your country, such as your national supervisory authority in the European Union or Brazil's National Data Protection Authority (ANPD).
