General Data Protection Law (LGPD) is a federal law in Brazil that establishes a comprehensive privacy and personal data protection regime by providing individuals with enforceable privacy rights and imposing data protection and breach notification rules on local and foreign entities.
The General Data Protection Law (Federal Law no. 13,709/2018), in Portuguese “Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados Pessoais” or "LGPD", significantly modernized privacy and personal data protection legislation in Brazil that was previously composed of sectoral regulations, similarly to HIPAA or GLBA in the United States.
In force since August 16, 2020 and composed of 65 articles, LGPD introduced a set of privacy rights for individuals comparable to the European GDPR. For instance, under the Article 18 of LGPD, individuals now have the right to know how and if their data is processed, or with whom it was shared. Individuals may also request access to their personal data and ask for eventual correction of erroneous or outdated information, and under certain conditions may request deletion of their personal data.
