Right pertaining to Personal Data Holders

Privacy and protection of personal data is nothing new in the national territory. The issue, however, took on greater importance with the enactment of Law 13.709/2018, of August 14, 2018, known as the General Data Protection Law (Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados – LGPD).

In its article 1 - and reinforced in article 17 - the LGPD states that its main objective is to protect the fundamental rights of freedom and privacy and the free development of the natural person's personality.

1. Article 18 of the aforementioned Law presents the following rights maintained by data holders:
2. Confirmation of the existence of a process related to your data's treatment;
3. Access to your data;
4. Correction of incomplete, inaccurate, or outdated data;
5. The anonymization, blocking or deletion of unnecessary, excessive, or otherwise processed personal data that does not comply with the law;
6. Data portability to another service or product provider, upon express request, in accordance with the regulations of the national authority, observing commercial and industrial secrets;
7. Elimination of personal data processed with your consent, subject to the exceptions provided for in the Law;
8. Information on which entities, public or private, the data controller shares your information;
9. Information about the possibility of not providing consent and about the consequences of denial;
10. Possibility of revoking your consent, subject to the provision contained in the Law.

It is noteworthy that the items above are compatible with the text of the Law, and are not necessarily an exact transcription. Reading Law 13.709/2018 is essential for understanding your rights.

In case of doubts or need to exercise your rights, we advise you to contact us through the 'Contact' form available on our website.

The legislation also established the National Data Protection Authority, which will help data holders to exercise their rights.
