What is Brasil LGPD?
The LGPD, or General Personal Data Protection Law, is Brazil’s data protection and privacy law, which is modeled after the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The LGPD was passed by the Brazilian National Congress on July 10, 2018, in an effort to consolidate and improve the country’s 40+ data privacy laws into a single piece of legislation. The LGPD took effect on September 18, 2020. The regulation, like the GDPR, has an influence on multinational organizations outside of Brazil’s borders.
What is impacted?
The regulation is part of the Brazilian framework of progressive adaptation to the best global data management practices, and it applies to all enterprises in Brazil that provide services or have operations requiring data processing.
Is my company subject to the Brasil LGPD?
It collects or processes data within Brazil
It processes data with the intention of supplying products or services to Brazilians
It processes data collected in Brazil.
What are the penalties for non-compliance?
Maximum fines for noncompliance under the GDPR are set at €20 million or 4% of a company’s annual global turnover for the most serious or repeat offenses. The LGPD sets its maximum fines at 50 million Brazilian reals (around €11 million) or 2% of a company’s annual turnover in Brazil per violation.
