A Guide to Navigating General Data Protection Law (LGPD) | Qualys

Summary: Brazil's General Personal Data Protection Law (LGPD) took effect on September 18, 2020, with enforcement by the National Data Protection Authority (ANPD) beginning in August 2021. The federal law, modeled on the EU's GDPR, unifies forty pre-existing laws and governs processing of personal data for individuals in Brazil regardless of the methods used, the location of the data, or the location of the entity's headquarters.
What you should know: The ANPD holds authority to investigate data protection issues, enforce compliance, and impose fines for noncompliance, and organizations must also show accountability for the data they process and be ready to work with regulators on audits and inquiries.
