Privacy
Who we are
This website (horizonteclimatech.com) belongs to Horizonte for Climate Tech (“Horizonte”), the controller of the data described here. For any privacy matter, write to hello@horizonteclimatech.com.
What we collect and why
1. Waitlist. If you join the list, we receive your email and the profile you picked (for example, climate startup founder). We use it to tell you about the launch and to understand who is interested in the platform. The legal basis is your consent, given when you submit the form; you can withdraw it at any time. We only write when there is news.
2. Usage measurement. We measure how many people visit the page, the language shown, whether the form was started, submitted, completed or failed (only the kind of error) and clicks on links such as the consulting one. We never send your email or anything you type. Each visit gets a random identifier that lives only while the page is open: we use no cookies and store no identifier on your device, we do not record sessions and we do not build individual profiles. Along with each event the browser reports common technical data, such as the page visited, where you came from (referrer), the browser and device type, the screen size and the time zone. We configure the service not to store your IP address. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in knowing whether the site works and improving it. You can object at any time (see “Your rights”).
3. Language choice. To remember whether you prefer Portuguese or English, we save that choice in your own browser (local storage, key “hz-lang”). It stays on your device and is not sent to anyone.
4. Technical logs. The hosting provider receives your IP address and browser data when the page loads, as on any website. The page fonts are served by this website itself, with no external provider.
Who we share it with
We use providers that process data on our behalf. We do not sell personal data.
- Google (Sheets and Apps Script): stores the waitlist data.
- EmailJS: email fallback, used if sending to the spreadsheet fails.
- PostHog (US cloud): the usage measurement described above.
- Hostinger: website hosting (servers in Brazil).
Some providers are in the United States, so your data may be transferred outside Brazil, with the safeguards provided by the LGPD and the GDPR.
How long we keep it
Waitlist data is kept while the list exists or until you ask for deletion. Usage data is aggregated and kept for as long as needed to follow the launch.
Your rights
Under the LGPD (Brazilian Law 13,709/2018) and, if you are in the European Union or the United Kingdom, the GDPR, you can ask for: confirmation that we process your data, access, correction, anonymization or deletion, portability, information on who we share it with, withdrawal of consent and objection to processing based on legitimate interest. Write to hello@horizonteclimatech.com; we reply within a reasonable time. You can also complain to Brazil’s data protection authority (ANPD) or to the data protection authority in your country.

Changes
If we change how we handle data (for example, when the platform launches), we will update this page and the date above.
