This Privacy Policy describes how M.F. Churrascaria Ltda ("we," "our" or "the Restaurant") collects, uses, stores and protects personal data of our guests, website visitors and all persons whose data we process in connection with our churrascaria and restaurant activities at Residencial Veneza, Birigüi, São Paulo, Brazil.
As a registered limited liability company (Ltda) operating in the restaurant and similar food service sector, we are committed to full compliance with the LGPD (Lei nº 13.709/2018), the Brazilian Consumer Protection Code (CDC — Lei nº 8.078/1990), ANVISA food safety regulations (RDC 216/2004) and the tax obligations of the Municipality of Birigüi (ISS) and SEFAZ-SP. As a food business in São Paulo state, we are subject to the VISA-SP / CVS-SP (Vigilância Sanitária do Estado de São Paulo) for food safety oversight.
Introduction and Scope
This Policy applies to all personal data processed in connection with our churrascaria activities — guests who dine in person or make reservations, guests who request invoices, corporate clients who book events or group meals on CNPJ, website visitors who submit enquiries and any person whose data we process. Most guests dine without any personal data being collected — an anonymous transaction is our default. Data is collected only when the guest makes a reservation, requests an invoice, or books a corporate event.
