Our commitment is to transparency, respect for your privacy, and compliance with applicable data protection laws, such as Brazil’s LGPD and the European GDPR.

1. Who we are

This website is operated by Catholics committed to online evangelization.
It is a non-profit project, aimed at sharing formative and inspiring content about the faith.

2. What personal data we collect and why

We collect only the strictly necessary data to improve your experience and enable basic interactions on the site, such as:

  • Name and email (when you submit comments or forms);

If you use Gravatar, your profile picture may appear publicly after your comment is approved.

Some posts may contain videos, images, or links from external platforms (like YouTube).
These platforms may collect data as per their own privacy policies.
We encourage you to read their privacy policies before interacting with embedded content.

We do not share your data with third parties for commercial purposes.
Exceptions include:
