Braziltopia ("we", "our") operates the news platform available at braziltopia.org. This privacy policy has been prepared in compliance with the Brazilian General Data Protection Law (LGPD — Law No. 13,709/2018) and the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR — Regulation EU 2016/679), aiming to transparently inform how we handle data while providing our services.

Braziltopia is a publicly accessible news platform that does not require registration, login, or account creation. We do not collect identifiable personal data such as names, email addresses, physical addresses, or documents. Technical data collected automatically: • IP address (recorded in server logs for security and abuse prevention) • Browser User-Agent (browser type and operating system) • Language preference (selected via URL — pt, en, or es) This data is collected automatically by the web server and is not used to individually identify users, track behavior, or create profiles.

Braziltopia does not use first-party cookies, tracking pixels, browser fingerprinting, or any third-party tracking technologies. We do not use analytics services such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or similar tools.

For platform operation, we use the following third-party services, which may process technical data according to their own privacy policies: Google Fonts: We use "Work Sans" and "Material Symbols" fonts loaded from Google's servers (fonts.googleapis.com). When accessing our site, your browser makes requests to Google's servers, which may record your IP address and User-Agent. For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy (policies.google.com/privacy). Open-Meteo: We use the Open-Meteo API to display weather data for Brazilian cities. No user data is sent to this API — we only send fixed, pre-defined geographic coordinates for Brasília, São Paulo, and Rio de Janeiro. Central Bank of Brazil: We use the public API of the Central Bank of Brazil (olinda.bcb.gov.br) to display exchange rates (USD/BRL and EUR/BRL). No user data is sent — only query dates are used as parameters. External Images: Images displayed in articles are hosted on external servers (such as Unsplash and news websites). When viewing a page with images, your browser makes requests directly to these servers, which may record your IP address.

Braziltopia uses artificial intelligence technologies (Claude, by Anthropic) exclusively in the editorial process of article creation. AI is used to rewrite news in original words and translate them into the three supported languages (Portuguese, English, and Spanish). No personal user data is processed by AI — only publicly available journalistic content.

Data stored in our database is exclusively related to editorial content: • Articles (title, content, slug, image URL, publication date) • Article translations (in Portuguese, English, and Spanish) • News sources (outlet name, URL, and logo) • Article tags/categories No visitor personal data is stored in our database.

In compliance with Art. 7 of the LGPD, processing of the technical data mentioned in section 2 is carried out based on the legitimate interest of the controller (Art. 7, IX) for: • Ensuring platform security and stability • Preventing abuse and attacks • Maintaining access records as required by the Brazilian Internet Framework (Law No. 12,965/2014)

In compliance with Art. 6(1) of the GDPR, processing of technical data is carried out based on the legitimate interest of the controller (Art. 6(1)(f)) for the same purposes described in section 7. Loading fonts from Google constitutes third-party processing, disclosed in this policy for transparency purposes.

Under the LGPD (Art. 18) and the GDPR (Arts. 15-22), you have the right to: • Confirmation of the existence of personal data processing • Access to personal data • Correction of incomplete, inaccurate, or outdated data • Anonymization, blocking, or deletion of unnecessary data • Data portability • Deletion of personal data processed with consent • Information about sharing with third parties • Withdrawal of consent Since we do not collect identifiable personal data, most of these rights do not apply in practice. However, we guarantee full transparency and are available to clarify any questions.

By using Google Fonts, technical data (IP address) may be transferred to Google servers located outside Brazil and the European Union. Google ensures adequate protection through Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and compliance certifications.

We adopt technical and organizational measures to protect processed data: • Encrypted communication via HTTPS/TLS • Containerized infrastructure with service isolation • Database with restricted access and protected credentials • Reverse proxy (Caddy) with automatic SSL certificates in production

Server access logs are maintained as required by the Brazilian Internet Framework (Law No. 12,965/2014) and deleted after the mandatory legal period. Editorial content (articles and translations) is kept indefinitely while relevant to the service.

Braziltopia is a publicly accessible news portal and does not direct its services to individuals under 18 years of age. We do not intentionally collect personal data from children or adolescents.

This policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. The date of the last update will always be indicated at the top of this page. We recommend periodic review.
