1.2 EU representative pursuant to Art. 27 GDPR

Since we do not operate a branch in the European Union, but process personal data of EU citizens – for example through website access from the EU area – we have appointed the following EU representative in accordance with Art. 27 GDPR:

Peter H. Burdzik

Email: sale@matogrossoexportsltdabr.com

Note: The EU representative is only responsible for official inquiries and formal complaints. EU users can also contact our Brazilian Data Protection Officer directly with general questions or to exercise their data subject rights.

Legal background:
According to Art. 27 GDPR, a representative in the EU is required if a non-European company processes personal data of persons within the EU without having its own establishment there. This applies in particular to the provision of online services, tracking via analysis tools or other interactions relevant to data protection.

 

2. Principles of data processing

The protection of your personal data is a key concern for us. We always process your data in accordance with the applicable data protection laws – in particular the Brazilian Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD), the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other relevant regulations. We adhere to the following principles:

  • Data minimization:
    We only collect and process the data that is actually required for the respective purposes.
  • Correctness:
    We ensure that your data is factually correct and up-to-date and take measures to correct incorrect data.
  • Memory limitation:
    Personal data is only stored for as long as is necessary for the fulfillment of the purposes or as required by law.
  • Integrity and confidentiality:
    We protect your data against unauthorized access, loss or manipulation using suitable technical and organizational security measures.

4.1 General information on the use of cookies

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to enable certain functions, improve the user experience and statistically evaluate the behavior of visitors. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your end device and contain certain information.
We distinguish between the following categories:

a) Technically necessary cookies
These cookies are required to provide basic functions of the website (e.g. page navigation, access to protected areas). They are set automatically and do not require consent.
Legal basis: Art. 10 LGPD, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest in a functional website).

b) Analysis and marketing cookies
These cookies help us to better understand user behavior, optimize our website and target marketing campaigns. They are only activated with your express consent via our cookie banner.
Legal basis: Art. 7 LGPD, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (consent).

In detail, we use the following with the appropriate consent:

  • Google Analytics (Google LLC): For the creation of pseudonymous usage statistics
  • Meta Pixel (Meta Platforms Inc.): For the analysis and optimization of our Facebook/Instagram advertising
  • LinkedIn Insight Tag (LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company): For measuring the success of LinkedIn advertising campaigns

Note for users from Germany:
In order to comply with the provisions of Section 25 TTDSG and the GDPR, we only use analysis and marketing cookies if you have actively consented via the cookie banner. Our solution automatically recognizes the country from which you are accessing the site and adapts the consent management accordingly.

4.2 Managing your cookie settings

You can change or revoke your consent at any time:

  • Via the cookie banner (accessible again via the link in the footer of our website)
  • By making the appropriate settings in your browser (e.g. blocking or deleting cookies)

Please note that if cookies are deactivated, individual functions of the website may be restricted.

.

4.3 Use of the Consent Tool “Pressidium Cookie Consent”

We use the consent tool “Pressidium Cookie Consent” to manage the cookies and similar technologies used on our website (e.g. tracking pixels, tags) and the related consents. The tool displays a banner to obtain consent, controls the loading of non-essential scripts, and stores your preferences. Your consent decision is saved in a cookie on your device and—if configured—in a server-side log so that we can document your consent and its status.

Categories of data processed: consent decision per category (e.g. analytics), timestamp, language/region, technical metadata (e.g. pseudonymous identifier, browser information); no usage profiling is performed based on this data.

Legal bases: Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR (compliance with a legal obligation to obtain/manage consent) and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (our legitimate interest in documenting consents and controlling cookies/scripts).

Recipients / processing location: The tool is operated by us on our website. Our hosting/service providers act as processors under Art. 28 GDPR. We do not otherwise disclose consent data to third parties. Where data is processed outside the EEA, appropriate safeguards (e.g. Standard Contractual Clauses) are in place.

Storage period: The consent cookie is stored for 182 days (unless you delete it earlier). Server-side consent logs are retained for up to 24 months (or longer if required to demonstrate compliance) and then deleted or anonymised.

Voluntary provision & withdrawal: You are not legally or contractually obliged to provide personal data for this purpose. You can withdraw or change your consent at any time with effect for the future via the Cookie Settings (floating button). The lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal remains unaffected.
