Explore Floripa is an editorial guide based in Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, Brazil. For privacy purposes, we are the data controller of any personal information collected through this site.

Email address — when you subscribe to our newsletter or send us a message through the contact form.

Usage data — pages visited, approximate location and device type, gathered through privacy-friendly analytics.

Anything you choose to send us — the content of messages submitted via the contact form.

To send the weekly newsletter you opted into. To respond to messages you send us. To understand which content readers find useful, in aggregate, so we can keep improving the editorial selection.

We rely on consent (newsletter sign-up), legitimate interest (improving our editorial product) and contractual necessity (responding to direct enquiries) under LGPD Articles 7 and 11.

We don't sell or rent your data. We use a small number of trusted vendors to operate the site — newsletter delivery, hosting, analytics — and only share what they need to do their job, under contracts that require LGPD-compliant handling.

Newsletter subscribers stay on our list until they unsubscribe. Contact form messages are kept for up to 24 months. Analytics data is anonymised and retained for up to 14 months.

Under Article 18 of the LGPD, you can ask us to confirm what data we hold, access it, correct it, delete it, port it, or revoke consent — at any time, free of charge.

To exercise any of these rights, email us from the address we have on file. We respond within 15 days.

We use industry-standard safeguards — encryption in transit, restricted access, and reputable hosting. No system is perfectly secure, so if we ever become aware of a breach that affects you, we'll let you know without delay.

If we materially change this policy, we'll update the date above and, where appropriate, email subscribers. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated policy.
