Privacy policy

Last updated: 12 October 2026.

1. Who is responsible

This website belongs to Thiago Pires de Azevedo, a psychotherapist licensed in Brazil by the Regional Council of Psychology under CRP 05/83313, who acts as the controller of any personal data processed here.

2. What this website collects

Almost nothing, by choice. This website:

• uses no audience analytics tools, such as Google Analytics;
• uses one advertising cookie, from Google Ads, and only if you click "Accept" on the cookie notice (explained just below);
• only receives data from you if you use the booking page, explained in item 4.

The hosting provider (Vercel) may record technical access data, such as IP address and browser type, in temporary server logs, for security and operational reasons. I do not use those logs to identify visitors.

Google Ads, only with your consent

I advertise this website on Google. To learn which ads work, the site can record two events: when someone taps the WhatsApp button and when someone completes a booking. This happens only if you click "Accept" on the cookie notice. If you click "Decline", no Google code is loaded at all.

All Google receives is the fact that an ad click ended in a contact or a booking. Google does not receive your name, email, phone number, the content of your conversations or anything about your health. Ad personalization is turned off: this site does no remarketing and builds no audiences from your visit. Google processes this data under its own privacy policy.

Your choice is stored only in your browser. To change your mind, clear this site's data in your browser settings and the notice will appear again.

3. Content embedded from other platforms

This website does not load content from other platforms to display panels, badges or ads. The only exception is the Cal.com calendar on the booking pages, explained in item 4. The introduction video is hosted on this website itself, without YouTube.

4. Online booking

The Book page uses Cal.com, an independent scheduling service, to show my open slots and register bookings. To book a session you provide your name, email and phone number, and confirm you are aware of the fee. That data is processed by Cal.com, acting as processor and under its own privacy policy, and by me, to arrange the session.

Three points deserve to be stated plainly. The booking form asks nothing about your health, your distress or the reason you are seeking therapy: if you want to talk about that beforehand, do it on WhatsApp or in the session itself. Cal.com checks my calendar only to know when I am busy, and never accesses the content of my appointments. And a booking creates an event in my calendar and a confirmation email for both of us.

To cancel a booking or request deletion of the data you entered there, use the link in your confirmation email or message me on WhatsApp.

5. Contact by WhatsApp and email

When you tap the contact button, you are taken to WhatsApp, a Meta service with its own privacy policy. The conversation happens there, outside this website. Anything you share with me in that conversation (your name, phone number and what you write) is used solely to answer you and, where relevant, to arrange sessions.

If you prefer to write by email, your message reaches my Gmail inbox, a Google service, and is handled the same way: solely to answer you and, where relevant, to arrange sessions.

The same applies to the Instagram link: it is a third-party service with its own terms and policy.

6. Data of people in therapy

Information about people who are in therapy with me is protected by a layer that comes before, and is stricter than, the LGPD: the professional confidentiality set out in the Code of Professional Ethics of the Brazilian Federal Council of Psychology. Session records are kept securely, for the period required by the Council's rules, and are never used for promotion or publicity.

7. Your rights

The LGPD gives you, among others, the right to confirm whether I process data about you, to access it, to correct it, to request deletion of anything not subject to mandatory retention, and to withdraw consent. If you live outside Brazil, your own country's data protection law may give you equivalent rights, and I will honour those requests in the same way. To exercise any of them, simply message me on WhatsApp.

8. Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the new version will be published on this same page, with the update date revised at the top.
