Purpose of website

The purpose of this website is to provide information about the conference and areas of interest to existing and future interested parties of our event. The content of this website is provided for the purpose of providing information of a general nature and does not constitute the provision of services.
We exclude liability for any damages that may occur in connection with the information contained on this website. This website is for informational purposes only and does not contain advertising content.

We authorize the downloading and temporary storage of the content of this website for the purpose of viewing it on a computer or mobile device with an Internet connection. The reproduction, permanent storage or retransmission of the content of this website, including any of its texts or images, is expressly prohibited without the prior written authorization of our company.

Personal Data

Personal data is information relating to a  living, identified or identifiable person . Personal data also constitutes the set of distinct information that can lead to the identification of a specific person.

Personal data that has been de-identified, encoded or  pseudonymized , but can be used to re-identify a person, remains personal data and falls within the scope of the GDPR.

Personal data that has been  anonymized  so that the person is not or is no longer identifiable is no longer considered personal data. For data to be truly anonymized, the anonymization must be irreversible.

The GDPR protects personal data  regardless of the technology used to process that data  – it is technology neutral and applies to both automated and manual processing, as long as the data is organized according to pre-defined criteria (e.g. , in alphabetical order). It is also irrelevant how the data is stored — in a computer system, through video surveillance, or on paper; In all these cases, personal data is subject to the protection requirements set out in the GDPR.

Examples of personal data:

• name and surname;
• the address of a residence;
• an email address such as  [email protected] ;
• the number of an identification card;
• location data (e.g. the location data function on a mobile phone);
• an IP (internet protocol) address;
• connection cookies (cookies);
• your phone’s advertising identifier;
• data held by a hospital or doctor, which allows a person to be identified unequivocally.

Examples of data not considered personal:

• the company registration number;
• an email address such as  [email protected] ;
• anonymized data.

Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 GDPR, which allows data processing to fulfill a contract or for measures preliminary to a contract.

• When you fill out a contact form, your personal data is collected and sent securely via our email server to the destination email at our company. The personal data collected is kept to the minimum necessary to establish contact. The content of the form, including the opt-in, is also stored in the website’s database in accordance with the GDPR.
• When uploading images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded geolocation data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract geolocation data from images on the website.
• When you access our website, our firewall analyzes your IP address and browser information. The firewall also monitors your browsing pattern within our website. This is for security reasons, to prevent unauthorized access to our systems and botnet threats. The good news is that if you are reading this text, it means that the firewall has considered you as a legitimate visitor to our website.
• Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves as if the user visited those websites.
• This website may collect data about you, use cookies, incorporate tracking made by third parties, monitor your interactions with it, including recording interactions with embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
• When you visit our website, statistical analyzes of your browsing behavior may be carried out. This is essentially done using cookies and analytics. The analysis of your browsing behavior is generally anonymous, meaning we will not be able to identify you from this data.

You can object to this analysis or prevent it from using certain tools.

You can see more details on this topic and how to exercise your options in this regard later, in the “Automated Data Processors” area

What personal data is collected and how is collected

Our website allows you to manually enter personal data into contact, comment or login forms. And, like most modern websites, it also automatically collects some data related to the device you are using to access the website or its location. This data is essentially technical data and is collected automatically as soon as you enter our website.

Cookies

A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. We use cookies throughout our website to help identify and track visitors, their use of our services, and their website access preferences. Below you will find a description of the specific cookies used. Visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers can set their browsers to refuse cookies before using our sites, with the drawback that certain features may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

Cookie control

Web browsers allow you to exercise some control over cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block cookies or block cookies from specific websites. Browsers can also help you delete cookies when you close your browser. However, you should note that this may mean that any opt-outs or preferences set on the site will be lost. To learn more about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been created and how to manage and delete them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org which includes information on how to manage your settings for the various browser providers.

Session, language and GDPR optin cookies and cookie duration

Depending on your usage profile, we may collect some or all of the personal data below:

• When visitors leave comments on the site, the data in the comments form, as well as the IP address and browser user agent, are saved to help with spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
• If you leave a comment on our site you may choose to save your name, email address and website in cookies. This is for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for a year.
• If you have an account and log in to this site, a temporary cookie will be set to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain personal data and will be deleted when you close your browser.
• When logging in, some cookies will be set to save your session information and your screen display choices. Session login cookies last for one week. If you select “Remember me”, your session will persist for two weeks. When you end your session, your login cookies will be removed.
• If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie does not include personal data, it only indicates the content ID of the article you just edited. Expires after 1 day.
• When you access this website, a “session cookie” is created on your computer. The session cookie is used to optimize your use of the website, providing useful features, such as the ability to “navigate backwards” intelligently. The session cookie is automatically deleted when you close your browser.
• When you access this website, a “language cookie” is created on your computer. The language cookie serves to relate content in various languages ​​and assist you in using multi-language content on this website. The language cookie lasts for one day and is automatically deleted afterwards.
• When you access this website for the first time, you are asked to accept cookies or customize their use. This creates a cookie called CookieConsent, which is placed on your computer so that this website knows what it is and respects your preference regarding cookies within it. This cookie lasts for 60 days.

Server logs

The website server automatically collects and stores information about visitors’ browsers, this information being available to us in “server log files”. These are:

• Browser type and browser version
• Operating system used
• Referrer URL
• Hostname of the accessing computer
• Server request time
• IP address

This data will not be combined with data from other sources.

Comments

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are saved indefinitely. This is so that you can automatically recognize and approve any follow-up comments, rather than placing them in a moderation queue.

Registry and login

For users who register on our website (if any), we store the personal information provided in your user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (with the exception that they cannot change their username). Site administrators can also view and edit this information.

The remaining information, including third-party cookies, is only kept for the minimum time necessary for the data to be processed, being anonymized or deleted afterwards. The duration of data retention for each external service can be consulted in the respective Privacy Policy, accessible from this page.

Contact, download and newsletter forms

• When you fill a contact or download form, we require some personal information, related to the purpose of each form. Such information is stored inside our website and is sent to an external data processor (Hubspot). The detail of data processing and retention can be found in below section, under External Data Processors – Hubspot.
• If you want to receive our newsletter, we require a valid email address, as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of that email address (double opt-in) and that you agree to receive this newsletter. No additional data is collected or is only collected on a voluntary basis. We only use this data to send the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.
• We will therefore process the data you enter in the newsletter registration form only with your consent, as defined in Art. 6 GDPR. You may, at any time, revoke your consent to the storage of your data and email address, as well as their use to send the newsletter, for example, through the “Cancel” (unsubscribe) link present in any of the editions of the newsletter. Data processed before receiving your order may still be lawfully processed.
• The data provided when registering for the newsletter will be used to send it to you until you cancel your subscription, at which point the specific data will be deleted. Data stored for other purposes (e.g. email addresses for the members area) remain unchanged.

Who is your data shared with

We use third party services (data processors) on our website. The extent to which your data is shared with these external suppliers depends on the services on this website that you use, and you will find below a list of external suppliers in use on this website, with their identification and links to their privacy policies.

Each external provider has been validated and approved by our team to ensure that their privacy policies and practices meet or exceed the same levels of compliance and standards that we follow and in particular the GDPR and the EU-US Privacy shield. When appropriate and available, we have additional data privacy agreements with these companies as an additional layer of accountability to help ensure your data is safe and secure.

We disclose potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of our employees, approved vendors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on our behalf or to provide services, and (II) that have agreed, by in writing, do not disclose them to third parties. Some of these collaborators, approved suppliers and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; By using our website and services, you consent to the transfer of such information to them.

We will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to third parties.

We may be required to disclose an individual’s personal information in response to a lawful request by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.

If at any time we have to transfer your data to third parties for a purpose other than that for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized, we will provide you with an opt-out option in advance to limit the use and disclosure of your personal data. .

Automated External Data processors

Most modern websites use external services to provide specific functionality. They are called Automated Data Processors. These services range from visitor analytics, video hosting such as YouTube, or social media access such as Facebook. These third-party services collect personal data to provide functionality. Our website also uses some of these services, details of which can be found below.

Alphabet (Google)

Google Analytics

This site uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service. It is operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”. These are text files that are stored on your computer and that allow you to analyze your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

Google Analytics cookies are stored based on Art. 6 GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing visitor behavior to optimize its website and advertising.

IP anonymization

We have enabled the IP anonymization feature on this website. Your IP address will be shortened by Google within the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area prior to transmission to the United States. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services relating to website activity and Internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be cross-referenced with any other data held by Google.

Browser plugin

You can prevent these cookies from being stored by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser. However, we want to point out that this may mean that you may not be able to take advantage of all the features of this website. You can also prevent the data generated by cookies about your use of the website (including your IP address) from being sent to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link:  https ://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=pt  .

Opposition to data collection

You can prevent the collection of your data by Google Analytics by clicking on the link at the entrance to the website. An opt-out cookie will be set to prevent your data from being collected on future visits to this website.

For more information about how Google Analytics handles visitor data, see Google’s privacy policy:
https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en  .

Subcontracted data processing

We have a contract with Google to perform data processing and fully implement the strict requirements of the European Union data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

Collection of demographic data by Google Analytics

This site uses Google Analytics demographic features. This allows reports to be generated containing statements about the age, gender and interests of website visitors. This data comes from Google’s interest-based advertising and third-party visitor data. This collected data cannot be attributed to any specific person. You can disable this feature at any time by adjusting the ad settings in your Google Account, or you can prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics as described in the “Opt-out” section.

Google Ads Remarketing using Analytics

The website uses the remarketing features of Google Analytics, combined with the cross-device features of Google Ads and DoubleClick. This service is provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

This feature makes it possible to link audiences for promotional marketing created with Google Analytics remarketing to Google Ads and Google DoubleClick cross-device features. This allows advertising to be displayed based on your personal interests, identified based on your past usage and browsing behavior on one device (e.g. your mobile phone), on other devices (such as a tablet or computer).

After you give your consent, Google will associate your web and app browsing history with your Google Account for this purpose. This way, any device that logs into your Google Account can use the same personalized promotional message.

To support this feature, Google Analytics collects Google-authenticated IDs from visitors temporarily associated with our Google Analytics data to define and create audiences for cross-device ad promotion.

You can permanently opt out of remarketing and cross-device targeting by turning off personalized advertising in your Google Account. Follow this link:   https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/  .

The aggregation of the data collected in your Google Account data is based exclusively on your consent, which you can give or withdraw from Google per Art. 6 GDPR. For data collection operations not processed in your Google Account (e.g. because you do not have a Google Account or you have objected to the processing), data collection is based on Art. 6 GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing anonymous visitor behavior for promotional purposes.

Google Ads

This site uses Google Ads, an online advertising program from Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States (“Google”).

As part of Google Ads, we use so-called conversion tracking. When you click on an ad served by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is set. Cookies are small text files that your Internet browser stores on your computer. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used to personally identify the visitor. If the visitor visits certain pages on the website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and the website may know that the visitor clicked on the ad and went to that page.

Each Google Ads advertiser has a different cookie. Therefore, cookies cannot be tracked using a Google Ads advertiser’s website. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Google Ads advertisers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers are informed of the total number of visitors who clicked on their ads and were redirected to a conversion tracking tag page. However, advertisers do not obtain information that can be used to personally identify visitors. If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can opt out by easily disabling the Google conversion tracking cookie by changing your browser settings. When you do this, you will not be included in conversion tracking statistics.

Conversion cookies are stored on the basis of Art. 6 GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing visitor behavior to optimize its website and advertising.

For more information about Google Ads and Google conversion tracking, please see the Google Privacy Policy:   https://policies.google.com/privacy  .

You can configure your browser to inform you about the use of cookies so that you can decide on a case-by-case basis whether you want to accept or reject a cookie. Alternatively, your browser can be configured to automatically accept cookies under certain conditions or to always reject them, or to automatically delete cookies when you close your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Youtube

Our website uses YouTube plugins, operated by Google. The operator of the pages is YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Avenue, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.

If you visit one of our pages with a YouTube plug-in, a connection will be established with the YouTube servers. At that time, the YouTube server is informed which of our pages you have visited.

If you are logged into your YouTube account, YouTube will allow you to associate your browsing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can avoid this by logging out of your YouTube account.

YouTube is used to help make our website attractive. This constitutes a justified interest under art. 6 GDPR.

More information about the processing of visitor data can be found in YouTube’s data protection declaration at

https://www.youtube.com/intl/pt-BR/yt/about/policies/#community-guidelines

Google Maps

This website uses the Google Maps mapping service via an API. It is operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

By default, when displaying a map, this site only displays the map placeholder image, and Google Maps is not activated until the visitor requests the actual map by clicking on it.

To use Google Maps, you need to save your IP address. This information is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The operator of this website has no influence on this data transfer.

The use of Google Maps is interesting to make our website attractive and to facilitate the location of places specified by us on the website. This constitutes a justified interest under art. 6 GDPR.

Further information on the processing of visitor data can be found in Google’s data protection declaration at   https://policies.google.com/privacy  .

Meta (former Facebook and Instagram)

Meta Ads

Our website measures conversions using visitor action pixels from Facebook, Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”).

This allows the behavior of website visitors to be tracked after they click on a Facebook ad to access this website. This allows for an analysis of the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes and their future optimization.

The data collected is anonymous to us as operators of this website and we cannot use it to draw conclusions about the identities of our visitors. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook, which may link to your Facebook profile and which may use the data for advertising purposes as stipulated in  Facebook ‘s   privacy policy  . This will allow Facebook to display ads on Facebook and third-party websites. We have no control over how this data is used.

See Facebook’s privacy policy to learn more about protecting your privacy:   https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/  .

You can also disable the custom audience remarketing feature in the Ad Settings section at  https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen  . To do this, you first need to be authenticated on Facebook.

If you do not have a Facebook account, you can opt out of Facebook usage-based advertising on the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance website:  http://www.youronlinechoices.com/  .

Facebook Pages Plugin

This site uses the Facebook Pages plugin service via an API. It is operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”).

By default, when displaying the facebook pages plugin, this site only displays the unauthenticated version of the plugin, not sending any data to Facebook. Only if the visitor chooses to log in to Facebook will Facebook receive personal data.

We have access to the API’s aggregated “engagement” data, that is, the number of people who logged in and some additional statistics about the use of the API on our website.

The data collected is anonymous to us as the operator of this website and we cannot use it to draw conclusions about the identities of our visitors. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook, which may link to your Facebook profile and which may use the data for advertising purposes as stipulated in  Facebook  ‘s   privacy policy  . This will allow Facebook to display ads on Facebook and third-party websites. We have no control over how this data is used.
