Purpose of this policy
This policy explains how Monique Fernandes handles personal data in her practice.
It covers information received through the website, forms, email, WhatsApp, consultation scheduling, payments, and service delivery. It exists so clients understand what data may be used, why it may be used, and how requests can be made.
Section 02
Scope of data collected
Data is collected according to the needs of the matter, not out of curiosity.
Depending on the stage, Monique may handle names, contact details, nationality, country of residence, immigration facts, travel history, family information, payment confirmations, uploaded documents, and limited technical data related to site use.
Section 03
Data collection channels
The channel matters because the purpose matters.
Information may reach the practice through contact forms, intake forms, email, WhatsApp, consultation requests, document uploads, and payment-related messages. Each channel is used differently and should be treated according to the stage of the service.
Section 04
Purpose of processing
Information is handled to support communication, evaluation, and service delivery.
Monique may process data to review route fit, understand chronology, communicate with the client, verify payment, schedule appointments, organize documents, provide immigration services, maintain records, and protect legal rights where necessary.
Section 05
Legal basis for processing
The legal basis depends on the function being performed.
Depending on the context, processing may rely on pre-contractual steps, contractual necessity, legitimate interests, legal obligations, protection of rights, or consent where consent is the appropriate basis for the activity involved.
Section 06
Data sharing and third parties
Sharing should be limited to what the stage of service reasonably requires.
Monique does not sell personal data. Information may be shared with service providers, communication tools, payment-support tools, translators, collaborators, or authorities when that is necessary for operations, compliance, or the immigration matter itself.
Section 07
International data transfers
Cross-border service sometimes means cross-border data handling.
Because Monique serves clients in Brazil and abroad, some communications, storage, and review activities may involve data moving across jurisdictions. That does not remove the duty to handle records carefully and proportionately.
Section 08
Data retention framework
Retention should match the purpose, the service stage, and legal need.
Data may be kept for as long as needed to handle the inquiry, provide the service, maintain payment and compliance records, manage disputes, or defend legal rights. Records are not meant to be kept forever without reason.
Section 09
Data subject rights
Clients should know they can ask questions about the handling of their data.
Depending on applicable law, a person may request confirmation of processing, access, correction, deletion where legally available, information about sharing, portability where applicable, restriction in some cases, or other rights recognized by law.
Section 10
Security and data protection measures
Security depends on process and discipline, not on slogans.
Monique uses access control, careful handling of documents, need-to-know review, communication discipline, and structured record management to reduce risk. No digital environment can promise absolute security, but the practice aims to handle information responsibly.
Section 11
Contact for data requests
Requests about privacy, correction, deletion, or other data-rights issues should be sent to moniquefadv@gmail.com. Reasonable identity verification may be required before action is taken on sensitive or file-specific requests.
