General Data Protection Regulation and Brazilian General Data Protection Law (LGPD)

The General Data Protection Regulation or GDPR, is a European privacy law approved by the European Commission in 2016 and which came into effect on May 25, 2018. The GDPR replaces a previous European Union (EU) privacy directive, known as Directive 95/46/EC, which has been the foundation of European data protection law since 1995. The GDPR aims to strengthen and modernize EU data protection legislation and reinforce individual rights and freedoms, in line with the European understanding of privacy as a fundamental human right. The GDPR regulates, among other things, how individuals and organizations may obtain, use, store, and remove personal data. In summary, it gives EU citizens and residents control over their personal data, while also simplifying the regulatory environment for international businesses operating in the EU.

 

In Brazil, Law No. 13.709/2018 – the General Data Protection Law (LGPD) – aims to preserve individual rights, thereby protecting privacy and personal data.

Data Protection Principles include requirements such as:

Personal data should only be collected for a specific purpose and only used for that purpose. Organizations must specify why they need personal data when they collect it.
