Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)
Our legal basis for collecting and using your personal data as described in this privacy policy depends on the data we collect and the specific context in which we collect it. We may process your personal data because:

These third parties are obligated to protect your information and use it only for the purposes for which it was disclosed.
Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, in response to a subpoena or court order, or if we believe that such action is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, protect the rights or property of Academia Digital do Podcast, prevent fraud or illegal activity, or protect the personal safety of users or the public.
Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or other corporate restructuring, your information may be transferred to the acquiring entity as part of the transaction.
