What is the LGPD?

The LGPD is Brazil’s Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados Pessoais (General Data Protection Law), which came into effect August 16, 2020. It was passed, and will be enforced by the National Data Protection Authority (Autoridade Nacional de Proteção de Dados). The LGPD is quite similar to Europe’s GDPR, and is a framework containing 65 articles regulating the use and processing of personal data.

RISKS What are the consequences of LGPD noncompliance?

Noncompliance with the LGPD can lead to fines of up to 50 million Brazilian reals (approx. EUR 8 million) or 2 percent of a company’s annual revenue in Brazil, per violation.

COMPLIANCE Why you need a consent management platform in order to be compliant with the LGPD

The LGPD requires a legal basis for processing data.

You can only process personal data for legitimate, specific, explicit and clearly communicated purposes.
User consent to processing data must be voluntary, specific and informed.
In order to comply with the LGPD, you must maintain a record to be able to demonstrate that consent was collected in accordance with the law.
