## What is the LGPD?

The Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados Pessoais (General Data Protection Law) is Brazil's key privacy law, in effect since 2020. It is substantially similar to the [GDPR](https://usercentrics.com/gdpr/), but has undergone a number of updates since it came into force. The LGPD defines data protection principles, user rights, and accountability measures for organizations. It's enforced by the Autoridade Nacional de Proteção de Dados (National Data Protection Authority).

COMPLIANCE

## Consent and LGPD compliance

- You must have one of 10 legal bases for processing personal data, and only for legitimate, specific, explicit, and clearly communicated purposes.
- Consent records must be maintained to demonstrate that legally valid consent has been obtained for all data collection and processing.
- User consent must be obtained before processing and must be informed, freely obtained, and unambiguous.

## What are the consequences of LGPD noncompliance?

LGPD violations can lead to fines of up to 2% of a company's annual revenue, to a maximum of BRL 50 million per violation. Fines are based on factors like rights affected, degree of damage to data subjects, previous offences, and other factors.

Additional penalties can include blocking of additional data processing, deletion of data, and public reputation damage. Individuals also have a private right of action.
