Last updated:

This Privacy Policy describes how Locodigital (locodigital.com.br) collects, uses, stores and protects visitor information. It applies to all content published on this domain and complies with Brazil's General Personal Data Protection Law (Law No. 13,709/2018 — LGPD).

By continuing to browse the site, you agree to the terms described below. If you disagree with any item, we recommend that you stop browsing.

1. Data controller

The controller of the personal data processed on this site is Alexandre, the editor responsible for Locodigital. For any request related to personal data, get in touch at contato@locodigital.com.br or through the channels listed on the Contact page.

2. Data we collect

Locodigital is a static, informational site. We require no sign-up, we do not ask for an email address to access content, and there is no logged-in area for the general public. Any data collected is limited to:

2.1 Browsing data (automatic)

  • IP address (partially anonymized where possible);
  • Device type, operating system and browser;
  • Pages visited, time on page and traffic source (referrer);
  • Cookie identifiers and similar technologies (see §4).

2.2 Data provided voluntarily

  • Comments (Giscus + GitHub). The comments area, when enabled, is provided by Giscus and requires a GitHub account login. The comment content, GitHub username and avatar are stored in the public discussions repository. For GitHub's policy, see here.
  • Direct contact. When you send us an email or a message on X/Twitter, we process only the content needed to reply.

3. Purposes of processing

The data we collect is used exclusively to:

  • Operate and maintain the site (security, performance, fraud prevention);
  • Analyze audience in aggregate to improve editorial content;
  • Display contextual and personalized advertising through partners (see §5), where applicable;
  • Reply to direct contact when you reach out.

We do not sell, rent or trade personal data. We do not build our own behavioral profiles.

4. Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small files stored in your browser. Locodigital uses:

4.1 Essential cookies

Required for the site's basic operation (theme preference, comment session). They do not require consent, since they are indispensable.

4.2 Analytics cookies

We use Google Analytics 4 for aggregate traffic statistics. GA4 uses its own identifiers (not tied to your name) and honors IP anonymization settings. For the Google Analytics policy: policies.google.com/privacy.

To disable GA4 collection in your browser, install the official opt-out add-on.

4.3 Advertising cookies

When active, advertising partners (including Google AdSense) may store cookies to display relevant ads. Details in §5.

5. Advertising — Google AdSense and partners

Locodigital may display ads provided by Google AdSense and by other advertising partners. These services use cookies, advertising identifiers and similar technologies to serve ads based on content visited on this and other sites.

The full Google policy on advertising technologies: policies.google.com/technologies/ads.

6. Data sharing

Locodigital shares data strictly with:

  • Hosting provider (Hostinger) — to deliver the pages;
  • Google LLC — via Google Analytics 4 and Google AdSense (when active);
  • GitHub Inc. — when the Giscus comments area is enabled;
  • Legal authorities — only under a court order or legal obligation.

These partners may be located outside Brazil. International transfers follow art. 33 of the LGPD, based on adequate safeguards (standard clauses, certifications, processing agreements).

7. Your rights as a data subject

8. Retention and security

Access logs and analytics data are retained for the standard period set by the providers (Google Analytics 4: 14 months, configurable). Comments remain in the public GitHub discussions repository until you request removal.

We adopt reasonable technical measures to protect data — HTTPS across the whole site, regular security updates, principle of least privilege. No system is 100% immune; in the event of a relevant incident, we will notify those affected as required by the LGPD.

9. Privacy of minors
