LGPD Data Protection with Resecurity
Safeguarding Personal Data in Accordance with Brazil’s Data Protection Law
The Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados Pessoais (LGPD) is Brazil’s comprehensive data protection law, modeled in part after the EU’s GDPR. Enacted on August 14, 2018, and fully effective since September 18, 2020, the LGPD governs how organizations collect, use, store, and share personal data. Administrative sanctions became enforceable on August 1, 2021, under the supervision of Brazil’s National Data Protection Authority (ANPD).
The LGPD applies to any entity, regardless of location, that processes personal data of individuals in Brazil. With 65 articles across 10 chapters, the law reinforces key rights such as privacy, transparency, and accountability, and imposes significant responsibilities on data controllers and processors. Violations may result in fines of up to 2% of gross revenue, capped at R$50 million (~USD $10 million) per infraction.
To meet LGPD obligations, organizations must address:
-
Legal Basis for Processing
Data must be processed under one of ten lawful bases, including consent, contract performance, legal obligation, public interest, legitimate interest, life protection, and credit protection. -
Data Subject Rights
Individuals may request access to their data, correction, deletion, anonymization, portability, and details about data sharing and processing. -
Security and Breach Notification
Organizations must implement technical and administrative safeguards. Breaches must be reported to ANPD and affected data subjects within a reasonable time, based on risk and ANPD guidance. -
Data Governance and DPO Appointment
Data controllers are required to appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO) and maintain policies, governance structures, and documented procedures. -
Third-Party Risk and Subprocessors
Controllers remain responsible for data processed by vendors and must ensure compliance throughout the supply chain.
