How does the LGPD protect your data?
The Brazilian Data Protection Law (13.709/2018), known as LGPD, came into force in August 2020, granting Brazilian citizens various rights regarding their personal data and greater control over it. The Law ensures protection for all data whose holders are natural persons, whether in physical or digital format. Thus, LGPD does not apply to data held by legal entities – which are not considered personal data for the purposes of the Law.
It is important to clarify that LGPD is not intended to prohibit the processing of data but to establish rules and limits in order to protect the data subjects.
Common questions:
- Purpose: Processing for legitimate and specific purposes informed to the data subject.
- Adequacy: Compatibility of processing with the purposes informed to the data subject.
- Necessity: Limitation of processing to the minimum necessary for achieving its purposes.
- Free Access: Free and facilitate access to information about the form and duration of processing.
- Data Quality: Guarantee to data subjects of accuracy, clarity, relevance and updating of data, according to the necessity to fulfill the purposes of the processing.
- Transparency: Guarantee the data subjects of clear, precise and easily accessible information about data processing.
- Security: Use of technical and administrative measures able to protect personal data.
- Prevention: Adoption of measures to prevent the occurrence of damages resulting from data processing.
- Non-Discrimination: Prohibition of processing for unlawful, abusive or discriminatory purposes.
- Accountability and Reporting: Demonstration by the controller that effective measures are being adopted.
