Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 30, 2026

1. Who We Are

This website (augustomoreira.com) is operated by Augusto Moreira de Moraes, a PHP Architect based in Curitiba, Brazil. Contact: augustomoreira.com/contact.

2. Information We Collect

We collect minimal data and never sell personal information. The data collected falls into two categories:

  • Anonymous page view metrics — pages visited, referrer, and approximate country (derived from IP, then the IP is immediately discarded). No cookies, no personal data.
  • Contact form submissions — your name, email address, and message, submitted voluntarily through our contact form. Used solely to respond to your inquiry.

3. Google AdSense

This site participates in Google AdSense (Publisher ID: ca-pub-9735592633657650). Google AdSense may use cookies and web beacons to serve ads relevant to your interests, based on visits to this site and other sites across the web.

You may opt out of personalized advertising at any time via Google Ads Settings or the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out tool.

4. Google Analytics & Tag Manager

Subject to your cookie consent, we use Google Analytics (loaded via Google Tag Manager) to understand how visitors interact with this site. Google Analytics collects anonymized data such as pages visited, session duration, device type, and general geographic region. IP addresses are anonymized before storage. We do not collect or store personally identifiable information through Analytics.

5. Cookie Consent

On your first visit, a consent banner lets you choose:

  • Accept all — Google Analytics (via GTM) and personalized Google AdSense ads are activated.
  • Essential only — GTM is not loaded; AdSense runs in non-personalized ads mode (ads still shown, no behavioral tracking).

Your preference is stored in your browser's localStorage and expires after one year, after which the banner reappears. No preference data is transmitted to our servers.

6. Cookies Used

This site may use the following cookies:

  • Laravel session cookie — functional; required for CSRF protection and flash messages.
  • Google AdSense cookies — set by Google for ad serving (only after consent or in NPA mode).
  • Google Analytics cookies — set by GTM for usage analytics (only after consent).

7. Data Retention

Anonymous page view data is retained for up to 48 hours in raw form and up to 1 year in aggregated form (totals per day — no individual records). Contact form messages are retained until manually deleted.

8. Third-Party Links

This site links to GitHub, LinkedIn, and other external services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites.

9. Your Rights (LGPD / GDPR)

Under Brazil's LGPD (Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados) and, where applicable, the EU's GDPR, you have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of any personal data we hold about you. Since we collect almost no personal data, requests are typically fulfilled immediately. Contact us at augustomoreira.com/contact.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of this site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
