Time Until LGPD Goes Into Effect

What is LGPD?

The LGPD, or Lei Geral de Protecao de Dados, was unanimously approved on July 10, 2018 and will go into effect on August 15, 2020.  Brazil’s General Data Protection Law requires companies to comply with requirements related to the processing of personal data.  The LGPD carries many similarities with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), however, it is leaner in comparison.

In terms of territorial scope, the LGPD applies to all companies offering goods or services to data subjects in Brazil, regardless of where they are located.

Failure to comply with the LGPD can result in maximum fines of up to 2% of the company’s Brazilian revenue of up to R$50 million (roughly $12.9 million USD or 11.2 million EUR).

At a high level, here's what you need to do to comply:
  • Inform, correct, anonymize, delete or provide a copy of the data if requested by the data subject
  • Delete data after the relevant relationship terminates
  • Adopt technical and administrative data security measures to protect personal data from unauthorized access, accidents, destruction, loss etc.
  • Appoint a DPO officer responsible for receiving complaints and communications
  • Notify the data subjects and local authorities if a breach occurred

Who Does the LGPD Apply To?

The LGPD applies to any private or public individual or company with personal data processing activities that are carried out in Brazil, collected in Brazil, or involve offering and supplying goods or services in Brazil. The regulation affects companies in all sectors doing business in or with Brazil.

  • Identity of the controller

Targeted Data Discovery
Right of Access

Personal data of the data holder must be stored in a format favoring the exercise of the right of access and only provided on receipt of a “verifiable consumer request.” The data holder determines whether the data will be provided electronically or in paper form. For processing based on contract or consent, a data holder may request a full electronic copy of his or her personal data in a format allowing its processing.

How CookiePro Helps
