6. COOKIES

7. TRANSFER OF PERSONAL DATA
Águas Azuis may disclose information about the user in exceptional cases where disclosure of such information is required for identifying, contacting, or taking legal action against someone who may be (intentionally or not) violating the rights of Águas Azuis or harmed third parties, or contrary to the rules of etiquette in force on the Internet. Águas Azuis may disclose information about the user when required by law, at the sole discretion of Águas Azuis or the appropriate authorities.

Disclosures to an entity as set out above, subcontracting services or hosting Águas Azuis’ own servers may imply that we are required to transfer your personal data to countries that do not meet the standard of having an adequate level of protection. In that case, we have procedures designed and implemented to ensure compliance with applicable data protection laws for protecting your personal data.
8. PERSONAL DATA PROTECTION AND SECURITY
Águas Azuis has adopted appropriate technical and organisational measures for protecting personal data against loss or against any manner of illegal processing.
Information about registration on the website is password-protected so that only the user has access to personal information. Águas Azuis recommends that the user does not disclose their password to anyone. Águas Azuis will never ask for the user’s password over the phone or by unsolicited email. The user must also remember to disconnect from the website and close the browser window when completing a browsing session. This helps to minimise the chances that others will gain access to the user’s personal information and electronic correspondence, especially when the user shares a computer with someone else or is using a computer in a public place.
No data transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. Consequently, although Águas Azuis may use its best efforts to protect the user’s personal information, Águas Azuis cannot assure or guarantee the security of any information transmitted to Águas Azuis or provided while browsing the website, and it is at the user’s discretion to undertake that risk. Ultimately, the user is solely responsible for the privacy of their passwords and/or any information about their registration and must be careful and responsible whenever browsing online. On the other hand, the user must be aware that they are solely responsible for classifying their information as private or not, and thus decide, at their own risk, to provide it during online navigation.
Also, the user must be aware that privacy rights are independent and are not to be confused with intellectual property rights, image rights, rights to honour and reputation, and other personality rights, and that not always the information that you provide on the website will be protected by them.
There are restricted access areas on the website. The user agrees that improper access to such areas will be considered an invasion of privacy, for all purposes.
9. RETAINING INFORMATION
Águas Azuis is not obliged to keep the information about the user contained on the website for any predefined period.
We will only retain personal data about you for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected. Personal data will be retained in accordance with our retention policy. The retention period for each category of personal data is based on applicable legal requirements and the purpose for which the information is collected and used.
The user may edit their information on the website at any time, using their identification (ID) and password on the website.
If the user so wishes, their registration on the website may be deleted or deactivated, which will result in the inability to access any service on the website.
10. INQUIRIES AND OTHER RIGHTS
Data holders have rights under the LGPD regarding any personal data we process. You can request that we take the following actions regarding your personal information that we hold:
- Access. Providing information about the processing of your personal data and providing access to your personal data.
