Navegg
Brazilian Data Management Platform that profiles visitors for audience targeting and resells segments to advertisers and DSPs.
What does Navegg do?
What Navegg is
Navegg is a Brazilian Data Management Platform (DMP) used by publishers and advertisers to profile visitors, build audiences and resell segments to demand and supply side platforms. The platform combines a JavaScript tag with server side cohort building and identity syncing with major ad exchanges.
Cookies and data
The Navegg tag writes a first party visitor cookie (nvg_id), a third party cookie on navdmp.com (nvg_match) and synchronises identifiers with Google ad, AppNexus, Magnite, OpenX and other partners. The platform aggregates page categories, search keywords, content interactions and inferred interests.
GDPR and ePrivacy posture
All Navegg cookies are non essential and require consent under Article 5(3) ePrivacy. The profiling activity itself is a high risk processing under Article 35 GDPR, requiring consent and a DPIA. Navegg is registered in IAB TCF v2.2 so consent strings can be propagated.
Transfers to Brazil
Navegg processes data in Brazil. The 2024 partial adequacy decision covers specific public sector flows but not commercial DMPs. EU operators must rely on Standard Contractual Clauses, document a Transfer Impact Assessment and consider supplementary measures.
Implementation steps
Block the Navegg tag in your CMP, integrate IAB TCF v2.2 to propagate consent, sign the DPA and SCCs, complete a DPIA, document the audience segments in your RoPA and provide a clear opt out for users who change their mind.
Navegg and the GDPR
Navegg is classified as “Analytics”. On a site that targets European visitors, it must only load after the visitor consents, and it must be listed in your cookie policy.
- Legal basis
- Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Art. 5(3) ePrivacy) for the Navegg cookies, the ID syncing with ad exchanges and the audience profiling. Legitimate interest is not appropriate for behavioural advertising under EDPB Guidelines 8/2020.
- Risk level
- high
- Applicable regulations
- GDPR, ePrivacy Directive, IAB TCF v2.2, UK GDPR, LGPD
Impact assessment (DPIA)
A DPIA is required because Navegg performs large scale profiling with potentially significant effects on data subjects (advertising decisions, segment resale), combined with a third country transfer to Brazil.
