Brazil’s forthcoming General Data Protection Law

The new General Data Protection Law will have transversal and multisectoral application, both to public and private sector, online and offline. It provides a concept of personal data, lists the legal bases that authorize its use - and consent is only one of them, highlighting legitimate interest legal basis - in addition to enacting general data protection principles, data subjects basic rights - such as access, exclusion and right to explanation - obligations and limits that should be applied to any entity that treats personal data. In this webinar, we will analyze and comment on the main points of the new law and what to expect from its transition period until its entry into force.
