This Privacy Policy describes how JVL Engenharia e Serviços Ltda ("we," "our" or "the Company") collects, uses, stores and protects the personal data of our business clients, project contacts, website visitors and all others whose data is processed in connection with our engineering consulting and technical services activities in São Paulo, SP.
As a registered limited company (Ltda), we are fully committed to compliance with the Brazilian General Data Protection Law — LGPD (Lei nº 13.709/2018), the Brazilian Consumer Protection Code — CDC (Lei nº 8.078/1990), applicable CREA-SP and CONFEA professional engineering regulations and applicable tax legislation in the State of São Paulo.
Introduction and Scope
This Policy applies to all personal data processed by our engineering services company — including business clients who commission engineering consulting or technical services, individual project contacts at those businesses, website visitors and anyone whose data is processed in connection with our engineering activities. Our services are primarily B2B — we work with companies, facility operators and project developers, not directly with end consumers.

Personal Data We Collect
In connection with our engineering services activities, we process the following categories of data:

- ART and CREA data: For engineering activities requiring an ART (Anotação de Responsabilidade Técnica) — the technical data and responsible engineer information required for filing with CREA-SP under Lei 6.496/1977.
- Contact and enquiry data: Messages via WhatsApp, telephone or online form.
- Technical website data: IP address, browser type, pages visited and access times.

Data Sharing
- SEFAZ-SP / Receita Federal: Tax data for NF-e issuance and applicable federal and state tax compliance.
- Prefeitura de São Paulo (ISS): For ISS/ISSQN obligations on engineering service activities.
- CREA-SP / CONFEA: ART data required for the legal filing of engineering responsibility annotations under Lei 6.496/1977 for all applicable engineering activities.
- Regulatory authorities (project-specific): Where an engineering project requires submission of technical reports or compliance documentation to AVCB, CETESB, INMETRO, Vigilância Sanitária or other regulatory bodies — client and project data is shared only to the extent required for the specific regulatory submission, as instructed by the client.
- PROCON-SP: When required in a consumer dispute mediation under the CDC.
- Legal authorities: When required by a competent judicial or administrative order.
International Transfers
Our engineering services operate primarily within Brazil. Primary storage of client and project data is in Brazil. Any technology platforms used for communication or document management that operate on international servers do so only under the guarantees of Art. 33 of the LGPD or recognised adequacy mechanisms.
Retention Periods
- NF-e and fiscal records: Minimum 5 years under federal and state tax legislation (CTN, Art. 174; SEFAZ-SP).
- ART records: ART filings and associated technical documentation are retained for a minimum of 5 years — in alignment with CREA-SP and CONFEA guidance on engineering responsibility documentation. For projects with structural, safety or environmental implications, longer retention may be appropriate under applicable technical standards.
- Engineering project records: Technical reports, inspection records, calculations and project documentation retained for 5 years — to support any regulatory enquiry, liability claim or technical dispute arising from the engineering work.
- Client account records: Duration of the client relationship plus 5 years for contractual, fiscal and dispute documentation.
- Contact and enquiry data: Up to 1 year from last interaction if no project was commissioned.
- Website analytics: Aggregated and anonymised after 12 months.
Security Measures
- Access to client project records, technical documentation and site data restricted to the engineering principals and authorised project staff directly involved;
- Technical project data and engineering reports treated as commercially and technically confidential — not disclosed externally without client authorisation;
- WhatsApp and email communications handled with discretion — project technical details not shared beyond those involved in delivery;
- Encryption in transit (HTTPS) for website and digital communications;
- PCI-DSS certified payment platforms — card data never retained by the company;
- As a Ltda, formal internal data handling and access control protocols are maintained;
- Incident response procedures and breach notification in accordance with LGPD Art. 48.

Protection of Minors
Our engineering services are engaged by businesses — adults acting in a professional and corporate capacity. We do not intentionally collect personal data from children under 13. All contracts and service engagements are with adults legally authorised to represent the commissioning organisation.
Sensitive Data & Technical Confidentiality
In the ordinary course of engineering services, we do not collect or process sensitive personal data as defined in LGPD Art. 5º, II (race, health, biometrics, religion, political affiliation, etc.). The data we hold relates to business contacts and project technical information.
Where engineering projects involve facilities with security implications — industrial plants, critical infrastructure or classified environments — we apply additional access controls to project data as required by the client's security protocols and any applicable regulatory requirements.
