Customer Relationship

The advancement of social media and technologies has made the collection and use of mass personal data more efficient and accessible, benefiting everyone's businesses and lives. However, this advance and the increase in accessibility also brought several risks, such as cases of data leakage from companies, invasion of privacy and manipulation of information, etc.

In response to these risks and following a global movement, Brazil passed law 13,709/2018, the General Data Protection Law, LGPD, with the intention of offering guarantees of freedom, transparency, honesty and protection of personal data.

As a result, GOL has been developing the social value of LGPD through its Privacy Program, which disseminates an internal culture of responsibility in the handling of Personal Data. All processing of personal data in the Company must be carried out safely, legally and respecting the usage preferences of our Customers. In addition, our information security must have the necessary protections to prevent data leaks that could harm data subjects.

The Privacy Program has actions aimed primarily at compliance, adjusting internal processes and making Employees aware of the requirements and concerns of the law. Standardized attitudes such as, collecting and minimizing registrations only for the necessary data, being transparent about the purposes of registration, creating clear and accessible internal policies for non-sharing of data, preference options for entry and exit holders of registrations specific media, reflect how GOL works with respect to privacy.

Privacy is to strengthen our value Security and the Trust of everyone who works and does business with GOL, positively impacting the company's brand and reputation.
