Privacy Policy | Agro Elite Placement

This Policy explains how Agro Elite Placement LLC ("Agro Elite", "we") collects, uses, shares and protects personal data of people who use the site and platform, in line with Brazil’s General Data Protection Law (LGPD) and applicable laws in the United States.

1. Who is responsible for the data

Agro Elite Placement LLC, 6800 Weiskopf Ave, Suite 150, McKinney, TX 75070, USA. Privacy contact: agroeliteplacement@aol.com.

2. What data we collect

We collect only what you enter in the forms and what the site records automatically in order to work.

Candidates: full name, phone/WhatsApp, email, city, state and country; target category and position; years of experience, previous employers, responsibilities, crops, livestock and machinery; skills, education, courses and certifications; languages; availability; driver’s license and class; U.S. work authorization status; passport status and expiration (we do not collect a copy of the document at this stage); H-2A experience; professional reference (optional); additional information; declaration with digital signature (typed name) and date.
Farms and companies: contact name, farm or company name, phone/WhatsApp, email, city and state, type of operation, housing availability and job request details (role, number of workers, start date and season details).
Account: email and password. The password is stored in protected form (hash), not as readable text.
Technical data: like any website, the server may record access data (for example, IP address, browser and date/time) and we use cookies, described below.

3. Professional references (third-party data)

If you provide the name and phone number of a professional reference, you state that the person has authorized the use of that data for this purpose.

4. How we use the data

to create and manage your account and dashboard;
to review your profile or the farm’s request (screening);
to create confidential indications between candidates and farms and to mediate;
to contact you about opportunities, next steps and the status of your registration;
to keep the platform secure and prevent fraud and abuse;
to comply with legal and regulatory obligations.

5. Legal bases (LGPD)

We process personal data based on your consent (the declaration checked at registration), on preliminary procedures related to a possible hiring at the data subject’s request, on compliance with legal or regulatory obligations, and on Agro Elite’s legitimate interest in keeping the service secure, always respecting your rights.

6. Who we share it with

We do not sell your personal data.

Candidates and farms do not see each other’s contact details on the platform. The farm receives a profile identified by a code, with experience, languages and a screening summary, without name or contact details. Identifiable data is only shared between the parties through mediation by the Agro Elite team, at the interview and next-steps stage, and to the extent needed to move the opportunity forward.

If an opportunity moves to a work authorization process, some data may be needed by the employer, the employer’s attorney or representative, and the competent U.S. authorities, with your knowledge.

We may also share data with service providers that help us operate the site (such as hosting and email), under confidentiality duties, and with authorities when required by law.

7. International transfers

Agro Elite is headquartered in the United States. By registering, you acknowledge that your data will be processed by the company in the U.S. and on servers it uses, which may be in another country, and that we take measures to protect it.

8. How long we keep it

We keep data for as long as needed for the purposes above or until you ask for deletion, unless the law requires us to keep it longer.

9. Security

We adopt reasonable technical and administrative measures, such as hashed passwords, protection against improper form requests, restricted session cookies, and access to full records limited to authorized staff. No system is completely secure, so please do not share your password.

10. Your rights

Under the LGPD, you may at any time:

confirm that we process your data and access it;
correct incomplete, inaccurate or outdated data (you can also edit your registration in the dashboard);
request anonymization, blocking or deletion of unnecessary data or data processed in breach of the law;
request data portability, under the regulations;
know with whom we share your data;
withdraw consent and ask for your registration to be deleted.

11. How to exercise your rights

Send your request to agroeliteplacement@aol.com or contact us on WhatsApp. We may ask for information to confirm your identity. If you are in the United States, you may exercise the rights provided by applicable law through the same channels.

12. Cookies and third-party services

Language cookie: stores your choice between Portuguese and English for up to 30 days.
We do not use our own advertising or tracking cookies.
