A PROTEÇÃO DE DADOS INFORMATIZADOS NO CONTEXTO DO ORDENAMENTO JURÍDICO VIGENTE: ESTUDO DE CASO SOBRE O PODER SANCIONADOR DA ANPD

Abstract

Brazil's General Data Protection Law (LGPD), inspired by the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), introduced significant innovations in the processing of personal data in the country. This article examines the law's conception process and its key provisions, such as the legal bases for data processing, the creation of the National Data Protection Authority (ANPD), and the rights granted to data subjects. Additionally, the paper discusses the impact of the law's enforcement, including the first fine imposed by the ANPD, marking the start of stricter oversight in Brazil. The analysis positions the LGPD as a critical milestone in data protection, promoting greater transparency, legal security, and the need for businesses to adapt to the new regulatory landscape.
