Privacy Policy

The personal data collected will be processed and stored in accordance with the legal provisions on data protection (LGPD – Law No. 13.709/2018), which established a series of requirements for those performing personal data processing activities.

The law applies:

• If the data processing operation is carried out within national territory;
• If the processing activity aims to offer products or services or involves the processing of data from individuals located within national territory;
• If personal data is collected within national territory. According to the law, personal data refers to any information related to an identified or identifiable individual.

The term “personal data processing” encompasses virtually all activities that can be performed with data, including:

• Collection, production, reception, classification, utilization, access, reproduction, transmission, distribution, processing, archiving, storage, elimination, evaluation or control of information, modification, communication, transfer, dissemination, or extraction.

Obligations Imposed by the Law:

Among the obligations imposed by the law, those performing such activities must be transparent. For this reason, any party handling personal data, including website or application managers, must inform the data subjects about:

1. How the data is used, and
2. The reasons why it is processed.

We are pleased to inform you about how your data will be treated in our system.

Important Note:
The User always has the right to:

• Object to the registration of their data;
• Correct their data; or

1. Collection and Processing of Non-Personal Data

Non-personal information is automatically collected by AMINO QUÍMICA LTDA. (AMINO) when accessing the website and newsletter.

This involves statistical data that provides cumulative information, such as:

• The internet browser used,
• The operating system,
• The number of visitors, etc.

AMINO (headquarters and branches) uses this information to continuously improve its website and newsletter.

2. What Are the Legal Bases for Processing Personal Data?

A legal basis for processing personal data is a justification permitted by law, which allows a person or company to handle personal data. The LGPD requires that each processing activity is justified based on one of the foundations provided by the law.

Legal bases include:

1. Consent: When the user of a website or application agrees to the platform’s rules regarding the use of their data.
2. Compliance with Legal or Regulatory Obligations:
   • For example, Federal Law No. 12.965/2014 requires internet application providers to store information, such as the date and time of access and the originating IP address, for six months.
3. Execution of a Contract:
   • For example, when a website or application sells a product to be delivered to the user’s address, it is necessary to store transaction and registration data to fulfill the contract.
4. Legitimate Interest:
   • For example, targeted marketing may be conducted, provided all LGPD requirements are observed.
5. Exercise of Rights in Legal Proceedings:
   • For example, commercial transaction data may be stored until the five-year statute of limitations under the Consumer Protection Code expires.
6. Credit Protection:
   • For example, financial institutions may use user data to perform credit checks to prevent default.

Special Considerations for Sensitive Data:

For sensitive personal data, this privacy policy allows processing based on:

• The data subject’s consent;
• Compliance with legal or regulatory obligations;
• The exercise of rights in legal, administrative, or arbitration proceedings; and
• Fraud prevention and user security, particularly during authentication and identification processes.

Regarding Data for Children and Adolescents:

• If children’s or adolescents’ data is processed, the only valid legal basis is the consent of parents or guardians.
