Introduction to LGPD (Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados)
The Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD) is Brazil’s comprehensive data protection regulation, modeled closely after the European Union’s GDPR. Enacted under Law No. 13.709/2018, LGPD establishes rules for the collection, processing, storage, and sharing of personal data of individuals in Brazil, aiming to reinforce fundamental rights to privacy and freedom.
This legislation applies to all organizations—public or private, Brazilian or international—that process personal data within Brazil or data related to individuals located in Brazil. The LGPD emphasizes transparency, accountability, and security, requiring organizations to adopt proactive measures to protect personal data and demonstrate compliance.

The ANPD (Autoridade Nacional de Proteção de Dados), Brazil’s national data protection authority, oversees enforcement and can impose significant penalties for non-compliance—including fines of up to 2% of a company’s revenue in Brazil (capped at R$50 million per infraction).
As data privacy becomes a strategic imperative, LGPD compliance is not just a legal necessity but a key trust-building factor for businesses operating in or engaging with the Brazilian market.
