Main provisions of governance in privacy concerning of the general data protection law in Brazil

Abstract

The topic addressed the main provisions of the General Data Protection Law (GDPL) in Brazil, the elements and parameters of privacy governance. It was found that the General Data Protection Law is a complex norm, which requires many measures for its adequacy, being inserted in a digital economy. Its approval was necessary since the previous norms were not fully capable of protecting the privacy of natural persons. It is argued that liability is subjective, whether civil or administrative, except for civil liability when there is a consumer relationship, which will be objective, due to an express legal provision. The nature of the research is of a legal-dogmatic nature, with which the objective is to investigate how new legislation could be fulfilled by a private organization, with a contribution to the prospective study of positive law.
