Brazil’s Data Protection Outlook

Created in 2020, the AS/COA Data Governance Working Group provides a platform to discuss the challenges related to the effective protection of personal data, the social benefits of data, and data-driven innovation in Latin America. In 2020, the working group convened relevant stakeholders from throughout the region and allowed both data protection authorities and private companies to engage in meaningful discussions. AS/COA’s goal is to create a permanent forum that promotes the accountable and responsible use of data while finding an efficient balance between privacy and innovation.

Held by the AS/COA Data Governance Working Group and the Centre for Information Policy Leadership (CIPL), this by-invitation-only roundtable focused on Brazil’s General Data Privacy Law (Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados, LGPD), Brazil’s Data Privacy Authority (ANPD) priorities in implementing it, and the implications to businesses across different industries in Brazil.
