Through this warning, Terra Networks Brasil S.A. (hereinafter, "TERRA")
informs the users of the different Internet portals it owns (hereinafter,
the "Users" and the "Portal", respectively) as to its policy relating to the

the Users may determine voluntarily and freely if they wish to provide TERRA
the Personal Data that may be requested of them or that TERRA may obtain as
a result of the registration or subscription for some of the services
offered in the Portal or through the Portal. TERRA reserves the right to
modify this policy in order to adapt it to new legislation or case law as
well as common practice in the sector. Should such occur, TERRA will
announce, on these pages, the changes to be made reasonably in advance of
their coming into practice.
Certain services provided in the Portal may contain particular conditions
with specific provisions as to the protection of Personal Data.
The Personal Data received by TERRA shall be processed by automated means
and inserted in the corresponding automated personal data files belonging to
TERRA and for which it is responsible (hereinafter, the "File"). For such
purpose, TERRA will provide the Users with the technical resources necessary
for them to provide their consent in order that TERRA may proceed with the

Protection Policy or any other relevant information. Except in those fields
stating otherwise, answers to questions on Personal Data are voluntary,
without a failure to reply thereto implying a reduction in the quality or
quantity of the corresponding services, unless stated otherwise.
Some of the services offered in the Portal or through the Portal are
directed at minors. As regards such services in which Personal Data must be
provided, TERRA will always request parental consent in order that the
minors may gain access thereto and their Personal Data may undergo automated
processing as per this warning in TERRA's Data Protection Policy.
The purpose of the insertion into the File and the automated processing of
the Personal Data is the maintenance of the contractual relationship
established with TERRA, the management, administration, provision, expansion
and improvement of the services which the User decides to use, subscribe or
register to, the adaptation of said services to the Users' tastes and
preferences, the analysis of the use of the services being made by the
Users, the design of new services relating to said services, the sending of
updates to the services, the sending, by traditional and electronic means,
of technical, operational and commercial information relating to the
products and services offered by TERRA or through TERRA, currently and in
the future. Another purpose of the receipt and automated processing of the
Personal Data is to send survey forms, which the User is not obliged to fill
in.
TERRA has adopted the legally required security levels for the protection of
the Personal Data and has installed all the technical means and measures
available to it in order to prevent the loss, incorrect use, alteration,
unauthorised access and theft of the Personal Data provided to TERRA.
Notwithstanding the above, the User should be conscious that security
measures in Internet are not impregnable.
TERRA intends to assign the Personal Data to the companies comprising the
TERRA Group for the same purposes as indicated in the preceding paragraph.
In certain cases, TERRA intends to assign the Personal Data to third
parties. When this is to occur, TERRA will duly warn the Users of this fact
in the forms where they are to fill in their Personal Data, together with
the identity of both the assignor company and the third party, the type of
activities performed thereby and the purpose for the assignment. Both the

thereof that may occur as a result of the assignment.
The Users hold and may exercise the right to access, cancel, rectify and
