Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 28, 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how Brazilian Rewards ("we", "us" or "our") collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal information in connection with our websites, applications, and services (the "Services"). This policy is prepared in accordance with Canadian privacy law, including PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act), provincial laws such as PIPA (Alberta and British Columbia) and Law 25 (Quebec), CASL (Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation), and applicable U.S. privacy regulations.

1. Who We Are

Brazilian Rewards is a loyalty and rewards platform that connects businesses with the Brazilian community in Canada and the United States. We help participating businesses promote events, coupons, and offers to our members.

2. What Information We Collect

When you register for an event, claim a coupon, or create an account, we may collect:

Contact details: name, email address, phone number, and postal code.
Account data: login credentials and preferences.
Transaction data: coupon redemptions, event participation, and reward history.
Technical data: IP address, browser type, device information, and usage logs.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

Register you for events and deliver participation codes.
Process coupon claims and manage your rewards.
Send transactional emails (event confirmations, coupon codes, account updates).
Send promotional offers and updates from participating businesses, with your consent.
Improve our platform, prevent fraud, and ensure security.
Comply with legal obligations.

4. Accuracy of Information

By registering for events or claiming coupons, you confirm that the information you provide is accurate and complete. Providing false or inaccurate information (such as an incorrect email address) may result in the inability to receive your participation code, redeem prizes, or access your account. We are not responsible for missed communications due to incorrect information provided by you.

5. Consent and Communications

By registering on Brazilian Rewards, you become a member of our platform and consent to receive transactional emails related to your activity (event registrations, coupon claims, account notifications). Participating businesses may also send you relevant offers and updates through our platform. For marketing communications, we comply with CASL requirements: we will only send promotional messages with your express consent, and every message will include a clear and free opt-out mechanism. You may withdraw consent at any time by using the unsubscribe link in our emails or by contacting us.

6. Information Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their own marketing purposes. We may share information only in the following circumstances:

Participating businesses: When you register for an event or claim a coupon, the sponsoring business may receive your name and participation details to verify your registration. They do not receive your email address or phone number.
Service providers: We use trusted providers for email delivery, hosting, and analytics. These providers are contractually required to protect your data and use it only on our behalf.
Legal requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of Brazilian Rewards or others.

7. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. This includes encryption, secure servers, and access controls. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy or as required by law. When your information is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it.

9. Your Rights

You have the right to:

Access the personal information we hold about you.
Correct any inaccurate or incomplete information.
Delete your account and associated data, subject to legal retention requirements.
Withdraw consent for marketing communications at any time.
Request portability of your data in a structured format, where applicable.

10. Cookies

We use essential cookies for site functionality. We may also use analytics cookies to understand how our platform is used. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.

11. Children

Our Services are not intended for individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

12. International Transfers

Your information may be processed in Canada, the United States, or other jurisdictions where our service providers operate. When we transfer data outside your jurisdiction, we implement appropriate safeguards to ensure a comparable level of protection.

13. Province and State-Specific Rights
