Information access in Brazil is graduated—there are levels of access corresponding to levels of relationship and trust. Not all information is equally available even within a trust circle; some information requires deeper trust than other information. As relationships develop and trust is demonstrated, access to more sensitive information becomes appropriate. Someone new to a relationship receives less than someone with years of established trust.
This graduation allows relationships to develop naturally while protecting against premature disclosure. Expect that your information access will expand as you prove trustworthy over time. Understand that being trusted with sensitive information means you have reached a higher level in the relationship.
