12.2 What we process and why
| Data | Purpose | Legal basis |
|---|---|---|
| Content you type into the generator (URL, Wi-Fi details, contact data) | Producing the QR code you requested. Processed in your browser and not stored on our servers. | Performance of a service you requested — LGPD Art. 7, V; GDPR Art. 6(1)(b) |
| Access logs (IP address, browser, pages visited) | Security, abuse prevention and legally required record-keeping | Legal obligation and legitimate interest — LGPD Art. 7, II and IX; GDPR Art. 6(1)(c) and 6(1)(f) |
| Advertising and analytics cookies (Google AdSense and partners) | Serving and measuring advertisements, including personalised ads where permitted | Consent — LGPD Art. 7, I; GDPR Art. 6(1)(a) |
| Email address, when you write to us | Answering your message | Consent — LGPD Art. 7, I; GDPR Art. 6(1)(a) |
12.3 Consent for advertising cookies
Advertising and analytics cookies are only set after you accept them in the consent banner. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time through the “Cookie settings” link in the site footer. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing carried out before the withdrawal, and it does not stop you from using the QR code generator, which works without any advertising cookie.
12.4 Your rights
Under both laws you may, free of charge, request to:
- confirm whether we process data about you, and obtain access to it;
- correct incomplete, inaccurate or outdated data;
- anonymise, block or delete unnecessary or excessive data, or data processed in breach of the law;
- obtain your data in a portable, machine-readable format;
- delete data processed on the basis of consent;
- be informed about the public and private entities with which we have shared your data;
- withdraw consent at any time;
- object to processing based on legitimate interest;
- lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority — in Brazil, the ANPD; in the EEA or UK, your national data protection authority.
To exercise any of these rights, write to contato@romeromelo.com.br with the subject line “Privacy request”. We reply within 15 days, as required by the LGPD, and within 30 days for GDPR requests. We may ask you for information that lets us confirm your identity before acting on the request.
12.5 International transfers
Google and other advertising partners may process data on servers outside your country, including in the United States. These transfers rely on the safeguards those providers maintain, such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses and, where applicable, the EU–US Data Privacy Framework.
12.6 Retention
Access logs are kept for six months, as required by Brazilian Law No. 12.965/2014 (Marco Civil da Internet). Emails you send us are kept for up to two years after our last exchange. Data generated by advertising cookies is retained by Google under its own policies, described at how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
12.7 Children
This site is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect their personal data. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, write to us and we will delete it.
