International Data Transfer
Some services used by MamãoFy have servers located outside Brazil, implying international transfer of personal data under Chapter V of the LGPD:

Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies to improve your platform experience. Consent for non-essential cookies is collected through our consent banner, in compliance with the LGPD.
Types of cookies used:
- Essential cookies (required): necessary for basic platform operation — authentication, session management, CSRF security and language preferences. They cannot be disabled without breaking platform functionality
- Performance cookies (optional): collect information on how you use the platform (pages visited, session time) to help us identify improvements. Data is used in aggregate and does not identify users individually
- Personalization cookies (optional): allow us to remember your preferences (theme, language, layout) and personalize your experience across sessions
We do not natively use third-party behavioral advertising cookies (such as Facebook or Google Ads remarketing pixels) on the platform. Instructors using the Landing Pages module may configure their own pixels on their pages, in which case they are responsible for such processing.
You can manage your cookie preferences at any time through your account settings panel or by reconfiguring the consent banner. Disabling non-essential cookies does not affect access to the platform's core features.

To ensure the security and authenticity of the request, we may ask you to verify your identity before processing. We will respond within 15 business days of receipt. If we cannot meet this deadline, we will inform you of the reason and the expected completion date.
If you believe your right has been violated, you may also file a complaint with the Brazilian National Data Protection Authority (ANPD) at www.gov.br/anpd.
Data Retention
We retain your personal data for the period strictly necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or to comply with legal obligations:
- Active account data: kept throughout the duration of the contractual relationship
- Data after account closure: kept for up to 90 days for internal audit and possible disputes, after which it is anonymized or deleted
- Financial and tax data: kept for 5 years after the transaction, as required by Brazilian tax law (art. 195 CTN and related legislation)
- Audit and access logs: kept for up to 6 months, pursuant to the Brazilian Marco Civil da Internet (Law 12.965/2014, art. 15)
- Instructor course content: kept while the instructor maintains an active account or until express removal request
After the retention periods expire, data is securely deleted or irreversibly anonymized.
Data Security
MamãoFy implements state-of-the-art technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data:
- Encryption in transit: all communication between your browser and the platform uses HTTPS/TLS
- Encryption at rest: sensitive stored data is encrypted (AES-256-CBC)
- Multi-factor authentication (MFA): available to all users, supporting TOTP (Google Authenticator, Authy) and backup codes
- Role-based access control: access to personal data is restricted to staff with a justified operational need
- Security headers: the platform implements HTTP security headers (Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection)
- Monitoring: access logs and suspicious activity are monitored continuously
- File validation: user-uploaded files go through content verification before storage
- Card data: not stored on our servers; all tokenization is performed directly by the certified payment gateway
In the event of a security incident that may pose a relevant risk to data subjects, we will notify the ANPD and affected subjects within the legal timeframes.
Data of Minors
The MamãoFy platform is not directed to children under 13. For users between 13 and 17, we require express consent from parents or legal guardians for registration and use, as per Art. 14 of the LGPD.
By registering, the user declares to be 18 years or older or to have authorization from a legal guardian. If we become aware that minor data has been collected without proper consent, we will take the necessary steps to delete it promptly.
Legal guardians who identify minor data collected without their consent should contact us immediately at [email protected].
Artificial Intelligence and Personal Data
MamãoFy integrates artificial intelligence tools in different platform contexts. Here is how your data is handled in each:
- MamãoFy.AI and Creative AI: prompts and contexts you send for content generation are transmitted to xAI (or to OpenRouter as fallback) for processing. MamãoFy does not store the content of your prompts on its own servers after the response is returned. The conversation history visible in the interface is stored linked to your account for experience continuity
- Tutor AI: lesson texts and questions sent to the tutor are processed by OpenRouter with models configured by the platform. Conversation context is kept temporarily for session coherence
- Social Planner: social media content you connect to the platform (posts, metrics) is processed to generate suggestions. This data is stored linked to your account while the integration is active
- Use of data for model training: MamãoFy does not use your personal data or prompt content to train its own AI models. The use of data by external providers (xAI, OpenRouter) is governed by those providers' privacy policies
- Usage monitoring: the volume of AI tool usage (message count, not content) is stored in your account for plan limit control and abuse detection
Anti-Spam Policy
MamãoFy adopts a strict anti-spam policy for all communications sent through the platform:
- All marketing communications sent by the platform include an unsubscribe link. Clicking it stops emails in the selected category
- Transactional communications (purchase confirmations, security notifications) are sent regardless of marketing preferences, as they are necessary for service delivery
- It is strictly forbidden to use the platform's email or WhatsApp features (Sender module) to send unsolicited, misleading messages, or messages in violation of the CAN-SPAM Act or Brazilian anti-spam law
- Violation of this policy may result in immediate suspension of access to the Sender module and, in severe cases, account termination
- MamãoFy fully complies with Art. 43 of the Brazilian Marco Civil da Internet regarding communication log storage and processing
Changes to This Policy
MamãoFy reserves the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our services, applicable law or our data processing practices. Relevant changes will be communicated at least 15 days in advance by email or platform notification.
The effective date of this policy is shown at the top of the page. We recommend reviewing it periodically. Continued use of the platform after the effective date of changes implies acceptance of the new terms.
