The website provides name, subject, and message fields to make it easier to contact the Firm.

When the send button is clicked, the information entered may be forwarded or transferred to the WhatsApp application, where the user must confirm and send the message.

WhatsApp is a service provided by a third party and has its own terms, security practices, and privacy policy. Processing carried out by the platform after the redirect is not under the exclusive control of Bitdinger Advocacia.

The user should review the content of the message before confirming its submission in the application.

8. Data sharing

Personal data may be shared, in a limited manner and when necessary, with:

  • Hosting and infrastructure service providers;

  • Courts, notary offices, financial institutions, and other entities necessary to perform the services;
  • Accounting or administrative management firms;
  • Other third parties authorized by the data subject or whose involvement is necessary to provide assistance.

The Firm does not sell personal data.

Whenever applicable, sharing will observe the principles of necessity, adequacy, purpose, security, and confidentiality.

9. Professional secrecy

Information received as a result of legal assistance or services will be handled in accordance with the attorney's duty of professional secrecy and the applicable ethical rules.

Professional secrecy does not prevent sharing that is strictly necessary with professionals involved in the matter, with providers subject to confidentiality duties, or in cases permitted or required by law.

Once the purpose of processing has ended, data will be deleted, anonymized, or retained only in cases authorized by law.

Messages that do not result in an engagement may be retained for the period necessary to document the assistance provided, prevent disputes, exercise rights, and comply with obligations.

14. Information security

The Firm adopts reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect personal data against:

  • Unauthorized access;
  • Loss, alteration, or destruction;
  • Improper disclosure;
  • Inappropriate use;
  • Unlawful or accidental processing.

Despite the measures adopted, no system is completely invulnerable. Users must also protect their own devices, passwords, email accounts, and messaging applications.

If a security incident is identified that could pose a significant risk or harm to data subjects, the measures required by applicable law will be taken.
