Jusbrasil

Jusbrasil is a Brazilian technology company that operates a platform for legal information, making public legal documents widely accessible. Their database includes information from official gazettes, court records, and jurisprudence from across Brazil, which is used by lawyers, legal professionals, and the general public. The platform's primary function is to aggregate and organize this public data, connecting people with legal information and also with attorneys. Having personal information, such as names and involvement in legal cases, accessible on Jusbrasil poses privacy risks to individuals. The exposure of this data, even when public, can lead to misinterpretation by those unfamiliar with legal proceedings, potentially causing reputational damage, stalking, or harassment. For example, individuals may be mistakenly identified as being accused of a crime or confused with homonyms involved in different legal matters. To protect yourself from the misuse of your information, it is important to be aware of what data is available about you online and to utilize the platform's privacy tools to request the removal or anonymization of your personal data.
