The Brazilian General Data Protection Law (Law 13.709 / 2018) aims to ensure the right to privacy and protection of users’ personal data. The LGPD (Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados) creates a new scenario of personal and legal security, standardizes the practices and rules for the protection of the personal data of all individuals residing in Brazil, collected electronically or physically.

Considering the next Consumer Protection Code, all companies must be in conformity to LGPD, under penalty of administrative and court penalty. Companies not in accordance with the law may have in addition to penalty, the loss of the possibility of data collection.
