The LGPD template is a configuration type for the Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD), Brazil's General Personal Data Protection Law. When you create a configuration with the LGPD framework, the Admin Interface prepares default settings for collecting consent from visitors in Brazil.
Applies to: Usercentrics Web CMP.
Note: The LGPD template gives you the tools to collect and manage consent. Compliance with the LGPD remains your responsibility and depends on how you configure and use the CMP.

Default settings in an LGPD configuration
A new LGPD configuration starts with these settings:
Setting | Where to find it | Default value |
|---|---|---|
Regional Settings | Configuration > Legal Specifications | Display CMP only to users in Brazil |
Reshow LGPD CMP | Configuration > Legal Specifications | On, every 12 months |
DPS Information | Configuration > Legal Specifications | All DPS Details |

The banner shows only to visitors in Brazil by default
The Regional Settings option in an LGPD configuration is set to Display CMP only to users in Brazil. With this setting, you don't need a geolocation ruleset to target visitors in Brazil.
To change who sees the banner, go to Configuration > Legal Specifications and select another option in Regional Settings.
Use a geolocation ruleset instead
If you have configurations for several regions, you can use a geolocation ruleset to show each configuration to visitors in its region. For example, a ruleset can show your LGPD configuration to visitors in Brazil and another configuration to visitors everywhere else. For full instructions, see Geolocation rules.
Set the banner languages
A new LGPD configuration shows the banner in Portuguese (Brazil) by default, with English also available to visitors.
To change or add more banner languages, go to Configuration > Setup > Language Settings:
Install the CMP and add the services
To finish setting up the configuration, add the services your website uses and install the CMP:
Go to Implementation > Script Tag, copy the live version script tag, and paste it into the
<head>section of your website, before any third-party script that requires consent.Go to Service Settings > DPS Scanner and click Initial Website Scan to find the third-party services on up to 5 domains. Results appear in DPS Overview within 24 hours, and you get an email when they're ready.
Go to Service Settings > Data Processing Services to add services and assign them to categories.

Expand Consent History.
In Controller ID, enter the visitor's 64-character Controller ID.
