Trace Documents respects your privacy and protects your personal data in accordance with the Brazilian General Data Protection Law (LGPD — Law 13,709/2018) and other applicable regulations. This policy describes what data we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and your rights as a data subject.
1. Data we collect
We collect: (a) account data — name, email, password hash, tax ID (optional); (b) usage data — uploaded documents, generated fingerprints, access logs, notification preferences; (c) technical data — IP address (encrypted), browser user agent, cookies; (d) payment data — MercadoPago/Stripe transaction IDs, amounts, payment method (we do not store card data directly); (e) Windows installer telemetry — encrypted IP, user agent, approximate country/city, setup version and hash, for up to 6 months, to count app downloads (not mixed with forensic document logs).
2. How we use data
We use your data for: (a) authentication and account management (legal basis: contract performance); (b) fingerprint generation and document protection (contract); (c) leak detection (legitimate interest); (d) payment processing and invoice generation (legal obligation/contract); (e) transactional notifications and, when authorized, marketing communications (consent); (f) aggregated, anonymous usage analysis for service improvement (legitimate interest); (g) security auditing and fraud prevention (legal obligation).
4. Data retention
We apply differentiated retention periods: protected documents per the contracted plan (30 to 365 days); audit logs for 2 years (compliance); payment and invoice data for 5 years (tax obligation), including after voluntary account deletion (records detached from the account holder); access logs (IP, user agent) for 6 months; Windows installer download events (encrypted IP, version, country) for 6 months; inactive accounts for 2 years, then anonymized. Voluntary deletion includes a 7-day grace period before permanent erasure. Anonymized data may be kept indefinitely for aggregate statistics.
5. Your rights
You have the right to: access and export your data (portability); correct incomplete or inaccurate information; request deletion of your data (right to be forgotten); revoke consents at any time; request information about third-party sharing; request anonymization or blocking of unnecessary data. To delete your account: Settings → Delete account (web) or Profile → Delete account (app), or the public page /delete-account. After requesting, your account is locked; permanent deletion occurs after 7 days. We respond within 15 days (LGPD Art. 18 §5). Contact the DPO for questions.
7. Security
We implement technical and organizational measures: encryption in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256); password hashing with bcrypt; IP encryption in audit logs with rotatable keys; role-based access control (RBAC); automated security monitoring and alerts; multi-factor authentication (MFA); security testing (SAST, DAST, dependency scanning).
8. Children

9. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy periodically. Significant changes will be communicated via email or platform notification. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance of the new version.
