The Brazilian Congress has been working on a bill relating to the protection of personal data for over eight years. The Senate approved the bill, known as the General Data Protection Act (GDPA), on 10 July 2018, and the bill was sent to the President for execution. A window of 15 business days (i.e., up to and including 13 August 2018) within which the President may veto the bill now follows. If the President does not actively reject the bill, it automatically becomes law. Thereafter, businesses will have an 18-month grace period (i.e., up to and including 13 February 2020) to adjust to the change in law before it becomes effective on 14 February 2020.
What Is the GDPA?
