What you need to know about the Brazilian new regulation on the role of the Data Protection Officer (DPO)

On July 17, the National Data Protection Authority (ANPD) published Resolution CD/ANPD No. 18, of July 16, 2024, which approves the regulation on the role of the Data Protection Officer (DPO) in Brazil. The new regulation resulted from a long regulatory process that included the participation of the public at different stages, including public consultations and hearings.

However, as can be seen from the regulation, the ANPD accepted very few contributions from the public, maintaining points that had been the subject of criticism, such as the obligation to disclose publicly the identity of the DPO, as well as the rules on conflicts of interest, which are excessively broad and vague. In this slideshow, we discuss and analyze the main points of the new regulation and make recommendations for companies and entities in the private sector.
