The Center for Law, Internet and Society of the Brazilian Institute of Public Law (CEDIS-IDP) and the Centre for Information Policy Leadership (CIPL) publish the report “The Role of the National Authority for the Protection of Personal Data (ANPD) under the new General Law on the Protection of Personal Data (LGPD)”. The text highlights the need for the Brazilian government to establish the ANPD immediately, in order to guide society on its application. Based on a detailed analysis of the LGPD and its regulations that require greater concreteness and specification, the report analyzes priority aspects to be considered by the ANPD, in order to optimize its initial resources and obtain the most effective results for the protection of personal data in Brazil.
