The 2020 technological census, a fundamental framework for Brazil, was the entry into force of the General Data Protection Law (LGPD), Law nº 13.709/2018. More than two years have passed since its promulgation, many companies still do not adapt to its new regulations or do not know where to start. In order to clarify the main changes made by LGPD and its impact on companies, this article, prepared by Software.com.br, precisely summarizes the essential aspects of legislation and how it can influence the internal procedures of organizations.
The importance of LGPD: a new paradigm in data protection
Due to the promulgation of the LGPD, Brazil lacked a centralized regulation on data protection, which resulted in a complexity of prejudicial regulations both for individuals and for companies. With LGPD, the objective is to provide greater clarity and transparency in the treatment of personal data, ensuring rights to holders and establishing safer parameters for the operations of companies. This legislation positions Brazil in an advanced position in the international arena, aligning itself with global data protection practices.
Guiding principles: directing or processing data with responsibility

These principles are intended to guarantee that data processing is carried out in an ethical, transparent and secure manner, always respecting the rights of both owners.

The controller is responsible for making decisions about the processing of data, while the operator performs the processing on behalf of the controller. This clarity of parents contributes to a better governance of the data and to the fulfillment of legal obligations.
New justifications for the processing of data: expanding the legal bases
The LGPD introduces new legal bases for the processing of data, such as the execution of contracts and legitimate interests.
