Privacy Policy
At Minha Vida USA, we are committed to protecting your privacy and maintaining transparency in the handling of your personal information. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, store, and share professional data on our platform in compliance with the best practices of data protection in the United States, and inspired by international standards such as the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation).
1. Information We Collect
We collect two types of professional data depending on the method of listing:
1.1. Publicly Sourced Professionals (Free Plan)
Some professionals are listed through publicly available sources, such as:
- Public web searches (e.g., Google)
- Open WhatsApp or Telegram groups
- Public social media posts (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn)
- Business directories or websites with public listings
We only display basic contact information already disclosed by the professional, such as:
- Name
- Phone Number
- Email Address
No sensitive, financial, or private data is collected without consent. The purpose is to facilitate visibility and community access to services commonly advertised in public spaces.
If your information was included and you wish to opt out, please refer to Section 5 below.

Professionals on paid plans have voluntarily registered and submitted their information via our onboarding process. These individuals have:
- Provided explicit consent for data usage
- Agreed to publish their details to enhance visibility

We do not sell or trade your personal information with third parties.
3. Data Security
We use industry-standard security practices to protect your data against unauthorized access, misuse, or alteration. Access to data is limited to team members and partners who require it for the functioning of the platform.
