What Does Brazilian LGPD Mean For You?

Brazilian LGPD, also known as Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados, is Brazil’s new data protection law. It introduces stringent obligations for businesses that handle the personal data of Brazilian citizens.

Why should I be LGPD Compliant?

Non-compliance with the LGPD can result in significant penalties. Let’s explore the reasons why staying compliant is important and how you can ensure your business adheres to the law.

The Consequences of Non-compliance

Failing to comply with the Brazilian LGPD can lead to severe repercussions. Penalties include fines that can reach up to 2% of your company’s revenue, not exceeding 50 million reais per violation. Additionally, businesses risk reputational damage, which can have lasting effects on customer trust and future profits.

Steps Towards Brazilian LGPD Compliance

Ensuring compliance with Brazilian LGPD involves a few critical steps. First, assess your current data management practices to identify any gaps. Next, develop a robust data protection strategy that aligns with LGPD requirements. This could involve updating privacy policies, improving data security measures, and ensuring transparency in data processing. Lastly, consider appointing a Data Protection Officer to oversee the company’s data protection strategy. Remember, compliance is not a one-time effort but an ongoing commitment.
