ESTABLISHED THE STRUCTURE OF ANPD

It was published today (August 27) the Decree No. 10,474/2020, which approves and regulates the regulatory structure of the National Data Protection Authority (ANPD), and its board of commissioned positions and nominated trust functions.

The Decree, however, will enter into force only on the date of publication of the appointment of the Director-President of ANPD in the Federal Official Gazette.

The ANPD is an integrated body of the Presidency of the Republic, which is endowed with technical and decision-making autonomy, with jurisdiction over the Brazilian territory and headquarters in the Federal District. Among its competences, the ANPD will be responsible for ensuring the protection of personal data, under the terms of the LGPD, and editing regulations and procedures on the protection of personal data and privacy.

In case of any doubts, please do not hesitate to contact us.
