2. What Personal Data do we handle and for what?
Pipefy uses information it collects to operate, maintain, and provide the features and functionality of the Service, to analyze how the Service is used, diagnose services or technical issues, maintain security, customize content, retrieve information to help you access your account efficiently, monitor aggregate metrics such as total number of visitors, traffic, and demographic patterns, and track content and users to provide better service.
Pipefy undertakes to process information legally classified as Personal Data in compliance with applicable legislation, including, but not limited to, Federal Law 13.709/2018 (Brazil’s General Data Protection Law) and, as Personal Data Processing Operator, will carry out the Processing of Personal Data solely to achieve the Purposes delimited by the Terms of Use and/or other documents that regulate the relationship between Pipefy and its customers.
When in the position of Operator, Pipefy has the right to refuse, upon formal and written notification, any operation ordered by a Controller, which implies the Processing of Personal Data in non-compliance with the rules for the protection of Personal Data in force.
Pipefy declares itself as data controller only of the personal data used to create the platform users, for example: the customer's name and email, where the legal basis defined for such control is the contract execution, in order to access the platform to use our product.
For all other data entered, registered, stored, and processed on the platform, Pipefy declares itself as data operator, providing only the platform for our customers to operationalize this data.

Your name, email address, and other information, which you choose to provide on the Service, will be visible to and discovered by other users in accordance with your settings on our Service.
We may use your email address to send messages related to the Service (including any notices required by law, instead of postal mail communication).

A device identifier may be stored by the following means: in connection with the device hardware, by data stored in connection with the device’s operating system or other software, or data sent to the device by us. A device identifier, while not collecting or sharing any Personal Data that directly identifies you, may be used in conjunction with other Personal Data that allows your identification.
• Third Party Tools: Pipefy uses third party analytics tools, such as Google Analytics, to help understand use of the Service. Many of these tools collect the information sent by your browser as part of a web page request, including cookies and your IP address.

We may also store Personal Data in locations outside Pipefy's premises (for example, on servers or databases co-located with hosting providers).
Business Transfers: As we develop our business, we may buy or sell assets or business offerings. Customers, email, and visitor information is generally one of the transferred business assets in these types of transactions.
