  2. Digital service platforms dedicated to the individual or collective passengers transport, food delivery or dedicated to the promotion, offer or sale of their own or third parties’ products to the consumer; and

The mandatory registration only applies to companies that: (i) had gross revenues of BRL 100 million in the last fiscal year; (ii) reached a monthly average equal to or greater than 1000 (one thousand) complaints in their customer service channels in the last fiscal year; or (iii) are claimed in more than 500 (five hundred) lawsuits that discuss consumer relations.
