COMPLIANCE & PROTECTION
Brazil's General Data Protection Law
The General Data Protection Law (LGPD), Law No. 13,709/2018, is Brazil's legislation establishing guidelines for processing personal data in both physical and digital formats by individuals or legal entities, whether public or private. Its primary objective is to protect fundamental rights of freedom, privacy, and the free development of individual personality.
Key Concepts
Personal Data
Any information related to an identified or identifiable natural person.
Sensitive Data
Data revealing racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, political opinions, health or sexual life information, genetic or biometric data.
Consent
For personal data processing to be legitimate, LGPD requires explicit consent from the data subject. This consent must be a free, informed, and unambiguous expression. Data subjects have the right to revoke consent at any time.
ANPD
The National Data Protection Authority (ANPD) is the body responsible for overseeing, implementing, and enforcing LGPD compliance throughout Brazil. Penalties can include fines of up to 2% of revenue, capped at R$50 million per violation.
