What BrazilEase collects, why, and how to make it stop.
I collect as little as possible. Your email, if you ask for the free guide. Your message, if you write to me. Anonymous usage statistics, only if you agree to them. I don't sell anything to anyone, and I don't run ads.
BrazilEase is a personal project run by André Albano, an individual based in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil. I decide what this site collects and why, which makes me the data controller.
You can reach me at andre@brazilease.com.

Brevo stores data in the European Union. Formspree and Google are based in the United States and may process data there; for those transfers they rely on the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and standard contractual clauses. Each of them acts as a processor under its own data processing terms.
Wherever you are, you can ask me to show you the data I hold about you, correct it, delete it, hand it over in a portable format, or stop using it. You can withdraw your consent at any time; that doesn't affect anything done before you withdrew it.
Write to andre@brazilease.com and I'll answer within 30 days.
If you're in the EU or the UK and you think I've handled this badly, you can complain to your national data protection authority. If you're in Brazil, that's the ANPD.
This site isn't aimed at children, and I don't knowingly collect data from anyone under 16. If you believe a child has sent me personal data, write to me and I'll delete it.
BrazilEase links out to TikTok, Instagram, WhatsApp and other sites. Once you leave, their privacy policies apply, not this one.
If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it. Anything material gets announced to newsletter subscribers by email.
