As sanctions for non-compliance with data protection regulations come into force, Brazil’s National Data Protection Authority (ANPD) has pledged to adopt a responsive approach towards organizations failing to comply with the new rules.
From August 1, Brazilian organizations processing sensitive data are subject to fines and other administrative sanctions in cases of violation of the General Data Protection Law (LGPD) rules.
Brazil’s data protection regulations were introduced in September 2020. At the time, it was determined that organizations would have until August 2021 to adapt to the new rules, despite attempts to push the sanctions to 2022. The board members of the body responsible for enforcing the regulations, the National Data Protection Authority (ANPD), were appointed in October 2020.
The risk of fines, which can reach up to 50 million reais (US$ 9.6 million) daily, has been particularly concerning to public and private sector organizations that have so far failed to comply with the rules. On the other hand, local trade bodies representing the technology sector support the dialogue-based approach prior to the application of sanctions adopted by the ANPD.
