✕Common Mistakes
A gente precisa dos nos dados pessoais.
Avoid using 'nos' (our) when you mean 'your' – the correct possessive is 'seus' for plural 'you'.
A gente precisa dos seu dados pessoais.
Possessive adjectives must agree in gender and number with the noun; use 'seus' (masc. plural) not 'seu' (masc. singular).
A gente precisamos dos seus dados pessoais.
If you keep 'a gente', the verb must stay singular; 'precisamos' is plural and mismatches the subject.

Cultural Tip
Brazil has a strict data‑protection law called LGPD (Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados). When asking for personal data, it’s courteous to explain why you need it and how it will be used. Using 'a gente' keeps the tone informal and friendly, but in formal written communication you might prefer 'Precisamos' instead of 'A gente precisa'.
