O VirtualLifeBrasil operates its sign-up, grid access and OpenSimulator-related services. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected, how it may be used and what measures we take to protect users' data.
By using our website, creating an account, accessing the grid or using services linked to VirtualLifeBrasil, you acknowledge this policy.
1. Information that may be collected
We may collect the following information, as needed for technical operation, security and administration of the service:
Data provided by the user
- avatar first name
- avatar last name
- e-mail address
- choices made at sign-up, such as the starting avatar or preferences available in the system
Technical and operational data
- avatar UUID
- IP address
- date and time of access
- browser, operating system and basic technical usage information
- error, audit and security logs
- information required for OpenSimulator and integrated services to work
2. Purpose of data use
The data may be used to:
- create and maintain the user's account
- allow authentication and access to the grid
- link the avatar to its inventory, starting appearance and system features
- send messages about sign-up, password reset or account operation
- keep the service secure
- prevent abuse, fraud, misuse or intrusion attempts
- produce technical and administrative logs
- improve stability, performance and user experience
- comply with legal obligations or respond to valid requests from authorities, when required
3. Data related to OpenSimulator
Because this is a platform based on OpenSimulator, certain technical data is necessary for the grid to operate normally.
This may include:
- avatar first name
- avatar UUID
- inventory and starting appearance
- authentication data
- IP address
- communication information between grid services
With Hypergridfeatures, when enabled, some technical avatar information may be shared with other compatible grids or services, to the extent needed to allow the connection and travel between grids.
4. Cookies and similar technologies
The VirtualLifeBrasil website may use cookies and similar technologies to:
- keep sessions active
- remember user preferences
- strengthen security
- improve website navigation and performance
These features are not meant to invade the user's privacy, but to allow the service to work normally and securely.
5. Sharing of information
VirtualLifeBrasil does not sell users' personal data.
Information may be shared only in the following situations:
- when needed for the technical operation of the grid and its services
- when required by a legal obligation
- to protect the rights, security, stability or integrity of the service
- to prevent fraud, abuse or malicious activity
- when integration with compatible OpenSimulator or Hypergrid services requires a minimal exchange of technical data
6. Storage and retention
Data will be kept for as long as needed to:
- operate the user's account
- keep technical and administrative logs
- meet security requirements
- meet legal and operational obligations
Some technical records may be kept for an additional period for auditing, system integrity and incident investigation.
7. Security
We take reasonable technical and administrative security measures to protect the data under our responsibility. Even so, no system connected to the internet can be considered completely immune to failures, attacks or unauthorized access.
For this reason, users should also help with security by keeping their password safe and not sharing their access details.

By completing sign-up, the user declares that:
- they are 18 years of age or older
- their avatar does not represent a child or minor in a way that breaks the rules of the service

The website may contain links to third-party services, grids, pages or content. VirtualLifeBrasil is not responsible for the privacy practices, content or operation of those external websites.
