At Brissoto, we are committed to protecting your privacy and personal information. We understand that you share important information with us to find potential matches and build meaningful relationships, and we take this responsibility very seriously. In this Privacy Policy, we explain how we collect, use, share and protect your personal information collected through our various services.
1. The information we collect
Through our various services, we collect information from the information you provide directly to us, such as your name, age, gender and e-mail address, as well as information relating to your use of our service, such as dates and times of access, pages viewed, links clicked and search queries.

Naturally, we also process your discussions with other members and the content you publish in order to regulate the service and protect the community. With your consent, we are able to retrieve your geolocation information (longitude and latitude) from your device. This collection may take place in the background, even when you are not using the application, if you have given us express permission to do so. However, if you refuse to allow us to collect your geolocation information, we will respect your choice, but you will not be able to access the services that depend on it.

3. How we share your information
Since our priority is to help our users meet each other, we mainly share your information with other members of our community. We do not share your information with third parties except in certain specific circumstances, such as:
- With your explicit consent: If you give your explicit consent, we may share your personal information with third parties. For example, if you choose to connect your Lobito account to another service, we may share certain information with that service to provide you with a better experience.
- With third-party service providers: We may share your personal information with third-party service providers to help us provide our service. This may include hosting providers, payment providers and companies that help us improve our service. We will only share the information necessary for these third party service providers to provide their services.
- If we are legally required to disclose your information: We may be required by law to disclose your personal information if required to do so by law enforcement authorities. For example, if we receive a subpoena or request from legal authorities, we may be required to disclose your personal information.
- To exercise our rights, we may need to share your information in the following situations: (i) if it may reduce our liability in a current or potential legal matter; (ii) if it is necessary to protect our rights, those of our members, business partners or other interested parties; (iii) to enforce agreements we have entered into with you; and (iv) to investigate suspected illegal activity, prevent fraud or take other appropriate action.
Whenever we share your personal information, we take all necessary measures to protect it and we undertake never to sell it to third parties. If we do share your information with third parties, we ensure that this is done in compliance with our Privacy Policy and current data protection laws.
4. How we protect your information
We take the security of your personal information very seriously and are committed to protecting it from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction. We have implemented rigorous security measures to guarantee the confidentiality of your data. We use standard security protocols to transmit your personal information securely, including SSL encryption, which is one of the most advanced security technologies available to ensure the confidentiality of your information during transmission. We restrict access to your personal information to our employees and service providers who need to know that information in order to provide services on your behalf and who are subject to contractual confidentiality obligations. We constantly monitor our infrastructure to detect and prevent intrusion attempts or malicious attacks. In the event of a data breach, we will inform you immediately and take all necessary measures to minimize potential damage.
5. Your choices and controls
We want you to have control over your personal information. You can access, modify or delete your personal information at any time by accessing your profile on our dating site. If you are unable to make these changes, you may contact us directly to request deletion of your account or to obtain information about the information we have collected about you. We will process your request as soon as possible, while respecting legal data retention periods. We also offer you options to manage your communication preferences with us, including opting out of receiving promotional emails or notifications from us. We are committed to respecting your privacy choices and preferences to the extent reasonably possible.
In some cases, we may request proof of identity before responding to your requests to access, modify or delete your personal information. We may refuse a request if it is unlawful, invalid or may infringe the rights of another person. If you wish to receive information about another member, we must obtain their written consent. We are unable to comply with certain requests which may prevent us from providing our services to you.
6. How long do we keep your data
Personal information is retained only for legitimate business practices and in accordance with applicable law. If a user stops using our services, they may delete their account and their profile will no longer be visible to other members. Accounts that have been inactive for two years may be deleted at any time.
