1. Who we are and what this Policy is
NAUTPLUS is operated by NautPlus Tecnologia Náutica Ltda. (“NAUTPLUS”, “we”). This Privacy Policy describes how we handle the personal data of site visitors, waitlist subscribers and users of the NAUTPLUS platform.
This document was prepared in compliance with Law No. 13,709/2018 (the Brazilian General Data Protection Law — “LGPD”), the Brazilian Civil Rights Framework for the Internet (Law No. 12,965/2014), the Consumer Protection Code (Law No. 8,078/1990), and other applicable rules.
By using our site or providing your data, you acknowledge the practices described here. If you do not agree, please do not use the site or provide your personal data.
2. Definitions
For ease of reading, we adopt the concepts of the LGPD:
- Personal data: information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.
- Sensitive personal data: data on racial or ethnic origin, religious belief, political opinion, health, sex life, genetic or biometric data, among others.
- Data subject: the natural person to whom the personal data relates.
- Processing: any operation performed on personal data, such as collection, use, access, storage, sharing, and deletion.
- Controller: the party that decides on the processing of data — in this case, NAUTPLUS.
- Processor: the party that processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
- Data Protection Officer (DPO): the person appointed to act as the communication channel between NAUTPLUS, data subjects, and the ANPD.
- ANPD: the Brazilian National Data Protection Authority.
3. What data we collect
3.1. Data you provide to us
- First and last name;
- Email address;
- Phone or WhatsApp, when provided;
- Interest profile (owner, marina, service provider, sailor, or shipyard) and other answers submitted in the waitlist or contact forms;
- Any content you voluntarily send us by email or through our support channels.
3.2. Data collected automatically
- IP address and access logs, with date and time, as required by the Brazilian Civil Rights Framework for the Internet;
- Device type, browser, operating system, and language;
- Pages visited, referral source, and interactions on the site;
- Cookie data and similar technologies (see the Cookies section).
We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal data through the site. Please do not send us such data unless necessary.
4. Why we use your data and on what legal basis
We process your data only for specific, legitimate purposes, always relying on one of the legal bases set out in art. 7 of the LGPD:
- Managing the waitlist and pre-launch — to record your interest, prioritize access, and notify you when it is your turn to receive the invitation. Legal basis: consent and preliminary procedures related to a contract.
- Responding to contacts and providing support — to handle your questions, requests, and suggestions. Legal basis: legitimate interest and preliminary contractual procedures.
- Sending communications and news about NAUTPLUS, when you choose to receive them. Legal basis: consent — you may unsubscribe at any time.
- Operating, maintaining, and improving the site — security, usage metrics, fraud prevention, and error correction. Legal basis: legitimate interest.
- Complying with legal and regulatory obligations, including the retention of access logs. Legal basis: compliance with a legal obligation.
- Exercising rights in judicial, administrative, or arbitration proceedings. Legal basis: regular exercise of rights.
Where processing is based on legitimate interest, we limit use to what is strictly necessary and safeguard your fundamental rights and freedoms.
6. Who we share your data with
We do not sell your personal data. We may share it, only as necessary, with:
- Service providers (processors) acting on our behalf — hosting, email delivery, analytics, CRM, and cloud infrastructure — contractually bound to protect the data and process it only per our instructions;
- Public authorities and regulators, when required by law, court order, or legitimate request;
- Third parties in corporate transactions (merger, acquisition, or restructuring), preserving confidentiality and the original purposes;
- Partners, only with your authorization where applicable.
7. International data transfers
Some of our providers may store or process data on servers located outside Brazil. In such cases, we adopt the safeguards required by arts. 33 to 36 of the LGPD to ensure an adequate level of protection, such as specific contractual clauses and the selection of providers with recognized security standards.
8. How long we keep your data
We keep your data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, observing:
- Waitlist data: until you join the platform, or until consent is withdrawn or a deletion request is made;
- Application access logs: for a minimum period of 6 (six) months, under art. 15 of the Brazilian Civil Rights Framework for the Internet;
- Data required to comply with a legal obligation or to exercise rights: for the corresponding legal periods.
Once the purposes and legal periods end, the data is securely deleted or anonymized.
9. How we protect your data
We adopt technical and administrative security measures to protect data against unauthorized access and accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, or disclosure — including encryption in transit, access control, monitoring, and careful selection of providers.
No system is completely secure. In the event of a security incident that may create relevant risk or harm to data subjects, we will notify the ANPD and the affected data subjects, as required by law.
10. Your rights as a data subject
The LGPD (art. 18) guarantees you the following rights at any time, upon request:
- confirmation of the existence of processing;
- access to the data;
- correction of incomplete, inaccurate, or outdated data;
- anonymization, blocking, or deletion of unnecessary or excessive data, or data processed in non-compliance with the law;
