About LGPD
The Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD), Brazil’s equivalent to the GDPR in Europe, is a robust data protection law aimed at safeguarding the personal data of Brazilian citizens. Enacted in September 2020, LGPD has transformed the data protection landscape in Brazil and applies to any organization, regardless of its location, that processes the personal data of individuals residing in Brazil.
Why LGPD is Important
LGPD introduces essential principles and requirements, such as consent, data subject rights, data processing limitations, and data breach notification. Non-compliance with LGPD can result in significant penalties, including fines and reputational damage. Therefore, understanding and adhering to LGPD is vital for organizations operating in or handling the personal data of Brazilian citizens.
What are the penalties for non-compliance
The LGPD sets its maximum fines at 50 million Brazilian reals ( around €11 million) or 2% of a company’s annual turnover in Brazil per violation.
