4. Purposes and Legal Bases for Processing
We process personal data for specific purposes, each supported by a legal basis under LGPD Art. 7:
Contract Execution (LGPD Art. 7-V)
- Providing and maintaining the Tangerine Flow platform
- Processing appointment scheduling requests
- Delivering WhatsApp messaging automation services
- Managing user accounts and subscriptions
- Processing payments and issuing invoices
- Providing customer support and technical assistance
Consent (LGPD Art. 7-I and Art. 8)
- Sending marketing communications and product updates
- Using cookies and tracking technologies for analytics and user experience improvements
- Processing WhatsApp integration data beyond what is strictly necessary for service delivery
- Enabling optional features or integrations
- Data sharing with optional third-party services
Legitimate Interest (LGPD Art. 7-IX, assessed under LGPD Art. 10)
- Fraud prevention and security monitoring
- Improving and optimizing platform features and performance
- Conducting anonymized analytics to understand user behavior and trends
- Enforcing our Terms of Service and other legal obligations
- Protecting our legal rights and the rights of our users
Legal Obligation (LGPD Art. 7-II)

- Retaining access logs as required by Marco Civil da Internet Art. 15
- Maintaining consent records for regulatory proof
- Complying with court orders, regulatory requests, or legal investigations

For each processing activity, we have documented the legal basis and maintain a Record of Processing Activities (ROPA) as required by LGPD Art. 37. This information is available upon request.
Where we rely on legitimate interest (Art. 7-IX), we conduct a balancing test to ensure that only strictly necessary data is processed and that your fundamental rights and freedoms are not overridden. ANPD may request a Data Protection Impact Assessment (RIPD) for any processing based on legitimate interest.
6. International Data Transfers
Tangerine Flow operates globally, and your personal data may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in countries outside of Brazil. These transfers are necessary to provide our service and operate our infrastructure.
Third-Party Transfer Locations
- WhatsApp Business API (Meta): United States
- Stripe: United States and multiple international locations
- Amazon Web Services (AWS): Multiple global regions (including United States, Europe, and others depending on your configuration)
- Vercel: United States and Europe
Under LGPD Art. 33, we rely on contractual clauses with adequate guarantees of compliance with LGPD principles, data subject rights, and the data protection regime (Art. 33-II), as well as specific and highlighted consent where applicable (Art. 33-VIII). These mechanisms ensure adequate protections equivalent to those provided by Brazilian law. As ANPD formalizes standard contractual clauses, we will adopt them.
Future International Transfers
As we integrate additional services (AI/LLM providers, analytics tools, or messaging platforms), we will evaluate each service provider's data protection practices and execute appropriate data transfer agreements before enabling integration.
You have the right to request information about the specific safeguards applied to your data in international transfers. Contact our Data Protection Officer at hello@tangerinetail.com.
7. Your Data Protection Rights

8. Automated Decision-Making
LGPD Art. 20 protects your right to human intervention when automated decision-making is used:
Current Automated Processes
Tangerine Flow currently uses automated decision-making in limited ways:
- Feature recommendations based on usage patterns
- Fraud detection for payment processing (handled by Stripe)
- Appointment conflict detection and availability calculations
These automated processes do not produce legal or significant effects on your rights that would require human review under LGPD Art. 20(4).
Future Automated Decision-Making
As we develop new features using artificial intelligence and machine learning (including AI/LLM integration), we will implement appropriate safeguards:
- Transparency: We will disclose when automated decision-making is being used
- Explainability: We will provide information about the criteria, significance, and consequences of the automated process
- Human Review: For decisions with legal or significant effects, you will have the right to request human intervention and review by our staff
- Appeal: You may contest automated decisions and request reconsideration
You have the right to request information about:
- The existence of automated decision-making affecting your data
- The logic, significance, and consequences of the automated process
- Meaningful information about the automated decision-making process
- Human review of an automated decision
To request this information or to appeal an automated decision, contact hello@tangerinetail.com with details of the decision you are challenging.
ANPD may audit our automated decision-making processes at any time to verify compliance and assess whether processing results in discriminatory outcomes (Art. 20 par. 2).
9. Data Retention
We retain personal data for the minimum period necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected, in accordance with LGPD Art. 15. Retention periods vary by data category:
Appointment Records
Retained while your account is active. After account deletion, retained for 2 years to satisfy tax obligations and potential dispute resolution under Brazilian civil law.
Chat and Message Histories
Retained according to your organization's configured retention policy. The default retention period is 365 days from the date of the message. Earlier deletion is available on request. WhatsApp messages that are deleted from our platform are removed from our systems.
Audit Logs (LGPD Art. 37)
Retained for a minimum of 5 years from the date of the logged event. This is a legal obligation to maintain records of system access and data processing.
Access Logs (Marco Civil da Internet Art. 15)
Retained for a minimum of 6 months from the date of access. This is a legal obligation under Brazilian internet law.
Consent Records
Retained for 5 years after consent is revoked. This retention period provides proof of historical consent/revocation for regulatory compliance.
User Account Data
Retained while your account is active. Upon account termination or deletion request, non-obligatory data is deleted within 30 days. Obligatory data (audit logs, payment records) is retained per the above periods.
Payment and Billing Data
Retained for 5 years from the date of transaction to satisfy Brazilian tax and accounting obligations (Lei 6.404/1976).
Cookies and Tracking Data
Retained per the cookie expiration periods described in Section 12.
When data reaches the end of its retention period, we delete or anonymize it, unless we are legally required to retain it longer. You may request deletion of data before the retention period expires if no legal obligation prevents deletion.
If you request anonymization or blocking under LGPD Art. 18, we will cease further processing while retaining the blocked data for the duration of any legal obligation.
10. Children's and Adolescents' Data
Tangerine Flow is not designed for, and we do not knowingly collect data from, individuals under 18 years of age. The service is intended for use by adults managing business operations.
Under Brazilian law (Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente - Lei 8.069/1990), children are individuals under 12 and adolescents are individuals aged 12 to 17. In accordance with LGPD Art. 14, processing of children's data requires specific and highlighted consent from at least one parent or legal guardian (Art. 14 par. 1). Processing must be carried out in the child's best interest.
If we discover that we have collected data from a child (under 12) without verified parental consent, we will delete that data immediately. Parents or guardians who believe their child's data has been collected should contact us at hello@tangerinetail.com.
Special Case - Organizational Processing of Minors' Data
If your organization (such as a healthcare provider, educational institution, or family business) uses Tangerine Flow and your workflows involve processing minors' data:
- You are responsible for obtaining proper parental or guardian consent before submitting minors' data to Tangerine Flow
- You must comply with LGPD Art. 14, which imposes stricter consent requirements for minors' data
- You must inform minors (where appropriate) about how their data is processed
- We recommend implementing additional access controls and consent tracking for minors' data
Tangerine Flow will not be held responsible for your organization's failure to obtain appropriate consent for minors' data. You bear full responsibility for compliance with Art. 14 of the LGPD.
11. Security
We implement technical and organizational security measures to protect personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. In accordance with LGPD Art. 46 par. 2, security and privacy measures are incorporated from the design phase of our products and services through their execution (privacy by design).
Technical Safeguards
- Encryption: Data in transit is encrypted using HTTPS/TLS protocols. Sensitive data at rest is encrypted using industry-standard encryption algorithms.
- Access Controls: User authentication via secure credentials, role-based access control, and API authentication tokens.
- Infrastructure: Hosting on Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Vercel, which implement SOC 2 Type II controls and DDoS protection.
- Monitoring: Continuous security monitoring, intrusion detection, and automated threat detection.
- Updates: Regular security patching and vulnerability assessments.
Organizational Safeguards
- Personnel Policies: Data protection training for employees, confidentiality agreements, and access restrictions based on job necessity.
- Incident Response: Documented procedures for detecting, investigating, and responding to security incidents.
- Breach Notification: Commitment to notify ANPD and affected individuals within 3 business days of discovering a significant data breach (LGPD Art. 48). Notifications will include the nature of affected data, information about affected data subjects, security measures in place, related risks, and mitigation measures adopted.
- Vendor Management: Security assessments of third-party processors, data processing agreements, and contractual security requirements.
Limitations
While we employ industry-standard security measures, no system is completely secure. Transmission of data over the internet carries inherent risks. If you have security concerns, contact hello@tangerinetail.com immediately.
Privacy Governance
In accordance with LGPD Art. 50, we maintain a privacy governance program that includes internal policies and procedures, risk-based data protection assessments, incident response plans, and continuous monitoring and improvement of our data protection practices.
