What is the purpose of processing collected data?
META is a company focused on agile technological solutions that simplify processes and deliver real value to organizations. We work to evolve your business quickly, consistently, and in line with the increasingly rapid changes of our time.
We are committed to privacy and the protection of the information we handle. We also understand your concern for your personal data and how it is used.
To this end, we request that you carefully read this Privacy Policy, which will explain what personal data will be collected through our website, the reasons for its collection, and how we will use it.
Our Privacy Policy aims to reinforce our commitment to society, ensuring that your interactions with our website align with Brazil’s General Data Protection Law (LGPD).
Who collects and processes the data?
Our website collects personal data through cookies and form fields requested in the “Contact,” “Talents,” or “Compliance” portals.
The collection of data entered on the site is carried out directly by META via a WordPress plugin, which automatically redirects a message to the communication channels. META manages the portal, compiles the information, and transfers it to the responsible departments. META may also perform other processing tasks, such as classification, data extraction, and filtering within the system.
META is not authorized to perform any processing beyond what is indicated.
What data is collected?
When you access our webpage, additional personal information such as your name, email, phone number, and date of birth may be collected if you voluntarily provide it with your consent, for example, when filling out a “Contact” form as part of a registration process.
For registration in our “Talents” portal, we collect the following data: personal information required to apply for our positions, including email, full address, and phone number, as well as other information pertinent to your professional career.
In our “Compliance” portal, if you choose to submit an identified report, we will collect the following data: name, email, phone number, date of birth, and your relationship with META. Additionally, in the description of the facts, we may collect other data, including sensitive data, if you freely provide it.
We also use unique identifier cookies to provide users with a personalized and secure experience, enabling META to access information such as access device characteristics, browser details, IP address (with date and time), IP origin, click information, pages accessed, or any search terms entered on the site or related to it. These details will be further explained in the cookies section.
This data will not be used by META for other purposes.
Sensitive data will be collected in the “Compliance” reporting channel only if you provide it voluntarily and in an identified manner.
