Part 1 · Privacy Policy

The Candlecraft Journey is an online candle making education brand created by Cinara Pavesi and operated by MP JORNADA CRIATIVA E DIGITAL LTDA (Brazilian company registration CNPJ 48.679.488/0001-51), located in Barueri, São Paulo, Brazil ("we," "us," or "our").

2. Information we collect

Information you give us:

  • Your name and email address when you join our email list, download a free resource, or contact us.
  • Any information you include in messages, comments, or support requests.

Information from purchases: Our products are sold through Hotmart, a third-party payment and delivery platform. Hotmart collects and processes your payment information. We do not receive or store your full card details. Hotmart shares with us the information needed to deliver your purchase and support you, such as your name, email address, country, the product purchased, and the transaction status. Hotmart's own privacy policy applies to the data it processes.

Information collected automatically: When you visit our website, we and our service providers may collect technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device, pages visited, time spent on pages, and how you arrived at our site. This is collected through cookies and similar technologies (see Section 7).

3. How we use your information

  • To deliver your purchase and provide customer support.
  • To send emails you asked for, such as free resources, lessons, and updates.
  • To send marketing emails about our products, only where allowed by law. You can unsubscribe at any time.
  • To understand how visitors use our website and improve our content.
  • To measure the results of our advertising, if you allow marketing cookies.
  • To keep our website secure and prevent fraud and spam.
  • To comply with legal, tax, and accounting obligations.

4. Legal bases (for visitors in the EU, UK, and Brazil)

Where the GDPR, UK GDPR, or Brazil's LGPD applies, we process your information based on:

  • Contract: to deliver products you buy and support you.
  • Consent: for marketing emails and non-essential cookies. You can withdraw consent at any time.
  • Legitimate interests: to run, secure, and improve our website, in ways that don't override your rights.
  • Legal obligation: to meet tax, accounting, and other legal requirements.

5. How we share your information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers that help us run our business, under contracts that require them to protect it, such as:

  • Hotmart (checkout, payments, product delivery, and refunds).
  • Our website hosting provider (website hosting).
  • Our email marketing provider (email list and newsletters).
  • Analytics and advertising tools, such as Google Analytics or the Meta Pixel, when used on our website (website analytics and ad measurement, only with your consent where required).
  • YouTube (videos embedded on our website).

We may also share information if required by law, to protect our rights, or as part of a business transfer.

6. International data transfers

We are based in Brazil, and our service providers may process data in Brazil, the United States, the European Union, and other countries. When we transfer personal information across borders, we rely on appropriate safeguards required by applicable law, such as standard contractual clauses.

7. Cookies and similar technologies

  • Essential cookies: needed for the website to work and stay secure.
  • Analytics cookies: help us understand how visitors use the site.
  • Marketing cookies: help us measure and personalize ads on other platforms.

Where required by law, we ask for your consent before setting non-essential cookies. You can change your choices in our cookie banner or in your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how the website works.

Embedded content: Videos and other content embedded from sites like YouTube behave as if you visited those sites directly. They may collect data about you, use cookies, and track your interaction with that content.

8. How long we keep your information

  • Email list data: until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it.
  • Purchase and support records: for as long as needed to provide support and as required by tax and accounting laws.
  • Analytics data: according to the retention settings of each tool.

9. Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

  • Know what personal information we hold about you and get a copy of it.
  • Correct inaccurate information.
  • Delete your information.
  • Object to or restrict certain processing, and withdraw consent at any time.
  • Receive your data in a portable format.
  • Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

U.S. residents (including California under the CCPA/CPRA and other state privacy laws): You have the right to know, access, correct, and delete your personal information, and to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not sell personal information. If we use advertising cookies, you can opt out through our cookie banner, and we honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals where required. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.

To exercise any of these rights, email contato@jornadadosaromas.com.br. We may need to verify your identity before responding. You may also use an authorized agent where the law allows.

10. Email marketing

11. Children's privacy

Our website and products are intended for adults. They are not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 where local law requires), and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

12. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

13. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top shows when it last changed. If the changes are significant, we will let you know on this website or by email.
