2. Fundamental Principles

This Policy is structured based on the principles of Art. 6 of the LGPD and Art. 5 of the GDPR:

  • Purpose: collection exclusively for legitimate, specific, explicit purposes informed to the data subject, prohibiting further incompatible processing.
  • Adequacy: compatibility of processing with the purposes informed to the data subject.
  • Necessity: limitation to the minimum necessary, with relevant, proportional, and non-excessive data.
  • Transparency: clear, precise, and easily accessible information about the processing.
  • Free Access: facilitated and free consultation regarding the form and duration of the processing.
  • Data Quality: accuracy, clarity, relevance, and up-to-dateness of the data.
  • Security: technical and administrative measures to protect against unauthorized access, destruction, loss, alteration, or dissemination.
  • Prevention: measures to prevent damages resulting from the processing.
  • Non-Discrimination: prohibition of processing for unlawful or abusive discriminatory purposes.
  • Accountability: demonstration of the adoption of effective compliance measures.
  • Privacy by Design and by Default: integration of data protection from the design of systems (Art. 46, §2, LGPD / Art. 25, GDPR), ensuring that only strictly necessary data is processed by default.

3. The Relationship Dynamics: FORLEX as a Data Processor

FORLEX predominantly acts as a Data Processor, processing personal data based on the instructions and on behalf of its clients (Data Controllers).

3.1. Account Modalities

  • Corporate Client (CNPJ): The organization is the Controller, responsible for determining the purpose and legal basis for the processing of its users' data. FORLEX processes this data strictly on behalf of the organization.
  • Individual Client (CPF): The individual is the Controller of their own personal data. If they manage additional users, they also assume the role of Controller for that data.

Regardless of the modality, the data subject is always the natural person whose data is processed, enjoying all rights provided by the legislation.

3.2. Data Processing Agreement (DPA)

FORLEX enters into a DPA with each client, detailing: (i) scope and purpose of processing; (ii) categories of data; (iii) security measures; (iv) conditions for sub-processing; (v) obligations in case of a breach; and (vi) data return or deletion procedures.


4. Non-Use of Data for Artificial Intelligence Training

FORLEX undertakes the express and irrevocable commitment that personal data, usage data, and any content provided or generated by data subjects during the use of the Services will NOT be used, directly or indirectly, for:

  • Training, development, fine-tuning, validation, or improvement of artificial intelligence models, machine learning, or neural networks, whether by FORLEX or third parties;
  • Feeding knowledge bases, linguistic corpora, or datasets intended for the development of natural language processing (NLP) technologies or generative models;
  • Any form of data mining or automated pattern extraction to enhance AI algorithms or systems;
  • Creation of automated behavioral profiles to feed predictive models, except when strictly necessary for providing the contracted service and upon the Controller's specific consent.

This prohibition applies to all categories of data processed by FORLEX, including personal data, navigation data, metadata, interaction logs, executed queries, uploaded documents, and generated results. FORLEX guarantees that its sub-processors and AI service providers are contractually bound to observe this same restriction, forbidden from using any data processed through the FORLEX platform to train their models. Breach of this clause by sub-processors will be treated as a security incident, subject to the procedures in Section 12, and will prompt an immediate review of the contractual relationship.

Technical Note: FORLEX may use AI to provide the contracted Services (e.g., document analysis). This utilization operates exclusively at inference-time, without retention or reuse of the data for training.
