Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 12, 2026.

This policy explains what personal data Antes da Manchete processes, why, for how long and how you can exercise your rights, under Brazil's General Data Protection Law (Law No. 13,709/2018, the LGPD) and Brazil's Civil Rights Framework for the Internet (Law No. 12,965/2014).

Who the controller is

The data controller is Felipe Cruz, the individual responsible for Antes da Manchete. Contact: felipecruz3077@gmail.com.

As a small-scale processing agent under Brazilian Data Protection Authority (ANPD) Resolution CD/ANPD No. 2/2022, the site has not appointed a data protection officer. The email above is the communication channel for data subjects for any request or question about this policy.

What data we process, why and for how long

1. Server access logs

What: IP address, date and time of access, page requested, browser and operating system. They are generated automatically by the hosting server whenever someone opens a page, as on practically any website.

Why: to keep the site running, ensure security and prevent abuse and attacks.

Legal basis: legitimate interest (LGPD Art. 7, IX) and, where applicable, compliance with a legal obligation (Art. 7, II), since Brazil's Internet law provides for the retention of access logs.

For how long: for the period set by the hosting provider and, where the law requires it, for the six months provided for in Article 15 of Brazil's Internet law. We do not use these logs to identify readers or build profiles.

2. Messages you send us

What: your email address, the name shown in it and the content of your message.

Why: to reply, assess story suggestions, correction and reply requests, and record corrections in our articles.

Legal basis: legitimate interest (Art. 7, IX) and, for data subject and right-of-reply requests, the regular exercise of rights (Art. 7, VI).

For how long: up to 12 months after the last exchange. Requests that led to a published correction or reply may be kept longer to document what was changed.

3. Light or dark mode preference

If you use the dark mode button, your choice is saved in your browser's local storage (localStorage) under the name "tema". This information is not sent to us or anyone else and can be deleted at any time in your browser settings.

Cookies

Antes da Manchete currently sets no cookies in your browser. Fonts and images are served by the site itself, with no calls to third-party services.

Our articles link to external sources such as Wikipedia, official bodies and news outlets. When you follow those links, you become subject to those sites' privacy policies.

If we ever start using cookies that are not strictly necessary, such as audience measurement or advertising cookies, we will do so only after: updating this policy; showing a cookie notice in which accepting and refusing have equal prominence, with no pre-ticked options, as recommended by the ANPD cookie guidance; and letting you withdraw consent at any time.

Advertising

The site does not show ads yet. If it starts showing Google AdSense ads, the following will apply, and this policy will be updated beforehand:

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites.
• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on those visits.
• You can opt out of personalized advertising in Google Ads Settings and learn about other options at aboutads.info.
• More details in how Google uses data from partner sites.

Ads never influence story choices or article content. See our Editorial policy.

Who we share data with

We do not sell, rent or give away personal data. It may be processed only by:

• Hostinger, the hosting company that keeps the site online and generates the access logs.
• Google, which provides the email service (Gmail) used to receive messages.
• Public authorities, when there is a court order or legal obligation.

These providers may store data on servers outside Brazil. In those cases, the international transfer relies on the grounds in LGPD Article 33, including the contractual safeguards they offer.

Security

The site uses an encrypted connection (HTTPS) and has no login area for readers. Access to the hosting and email accounts is restricted to the person responsible for the site. No system is completely immune to failure, but if an incident could pose a significant risk to you, we will notify those affected and the ANPD, as the law requires.

Children and teenagers

The site is open to all audiences but is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect data from minors. If a parent or guardian learns that a child has sent us personal data, they can ask for it to be deleted at the email above.

Your rights

Under LGPD Article 18, you may at any time and free of charge request:

• confirmation that we process your data and access to it;
• correction of incomplete, inaccurate or outdated data;
• anonymization, blocking or deletion of unnecessary or excessive data, or data processed in breach of the law;
• data portability;
• deletion of data processed with your consent and withdrawal of that consent;
• information about whom we share your data with;
• review of decisions made solely on the basis of automated processing (we make no such decisions).

To exercise these rights, write to felipecruz3077@gmail.com. We may ask for information to confirm your identity. We reply within 15 days. If you are not satisfied, you can file a complaint with Brazil's National Data Protection Authority (ANPD).

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the date at the top of the page will be updated. Significant changes, such as starting to use cookies or ads, will also be announced on the site.
