What information we collect

We may collect personal data that you provide directly to us, including your name, business email address, telephone number, company name, professional role, country or location, project brief, research objectives, scheduling preferences, and any other information you choose to provide. When individuals participate or apply to participate as experts, we may also collect professional-profile information such as employment history, industry experience, areas of expertise, education, languages, geographic coverage, availability, consultation history, payment information, and information required for compliance or conflict checks. We may collect information through website forms, email, telephone, WhatsApp, professional-networking platforms, referrals, consultation scheduling, contractual documents, and other business communications. When you use our website, we or our service providers may automatically receive limited technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, referring source, and cookie or analytics data, where those technologies are enabled. Please avoid submitting sensitive personal data or confidential third-party information unless it is reasonably necessary for the requested service and you are authorized to provide it.

How we use personal data

We may process personal data to: • review and respond to inquiries and project briefs; • understand research objectives and define project requirements; • identify, assess, screen, and introduce suitable experts; • coordinate consultations, schedules, communications, and project delivery; • manage client, expert, and business-partner relationships; • prepare proposals, contracts, invoices, payments, and business records; • conduct conflict-of-interest, confidentiality, eligibility, and compliance checks; • protect the security and integrity of our website, communications, and operations; • prevent fraud, misuse, unlawful activity, and other compliance risks; • improve our services, processes, website, and client experience; • comply with legal, regulatory, accounting, tax, and contractual obligations; • establish, exercise, or defend legal rights; and • send relevant business communications where permitted by law. Depending on the circumstances, processing may be based on steps taken at your request before entering into a contract, performance of a contract, compliance with legal or regulatory obligations, the exercise of legal rights, our legitimate interests, or your consent where consent is required. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent subject to applicable law. Withdrawal does not affect processing lawfully carried out before the withdrawal.

How information is shared and protected

We do not sell personal data. We may share limited personal data where reasonably necessary with: • selected experts or prospective experts evaluating a project; • clients and authorized project participants; • email, hosting, cloud-storage, CRM, scheduling, communication, and virtual-meeting providers; • payment, accounting, legal, compliance, and professional-service providers; • public authorities, regulators, courts, or law-enforcement bodies where required or permitted by law; and • authorized parties involved in a corporate transaction, restructuring, investment, or transfer of business assets. When assessing expert suitability, we seek to share only the minimum information reasonably necessary. Project briefs may be limited, sanitized, or anonymized where appropriate. Client identities, contact details, and confidential business information are not disclosed publicly or to unrelated third parties. Some service providers, experts, clients, or project participants may be located outside Brazil. Personal data may therefore be processed or stored in other countries. Where an international transfer occurs, we seek to use the mechanisms and safeguards required under applicable data-protection law. We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including the duration of a business or project relationship and any additional period required for legal, contractual, accounting, tax, compliance, dispute-resolution, or recordkeeping purposes. We apply reasonable administrative, organizational, contractual, and technical measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. However, no website, electronic communication, storage system, or transmission method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Your choices and how to contact us

Subject to applicable law, you may request: • confirmation of whether we process your personal data; • access to personal data held about you; • correction of incomplete, inaccurate, or outdated information; • information about the entities with which personal data has been shared; • anonymization, blocking, or deletion of data that is unnecessary, excessive, or processed unlawfully; • deletion of eligible personal data processed on the basis of consent; • withdrawal of consent where consent is the applicable legal basis; • review of certain decisions made solely through automated processing, where applicable; and • other rights available under applicable data-protection law. To exercise a privacy right, contact us at info@miraeconnext.com. We may request information reasonably necessary to verify your identity and protect personal data from unauthorized disclosure. A deletion request may be subject to applicable legal or contractual retention requirements. We may retain certain information where necessary to comply with law, maintain required business records, resolve disputes, or establish, exercise, or defend legal claims. Our website may use essential cookies required for website functionality and, where enabled, analytics or similar technologies that help us understand website usage and improve our services. Additional information about the cookies used and available choices may be provided through a cookie notice or preference tool. We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our practices, services, technologies, or legal obligations.
