On August 14, Brazil's president enacted the
Brazilian General Data Protection Law under which personal data
will be protected regardless of how it is collected or stored
(source document in Portuguese). The bill established that personal
data may be processed under only 10 scenarios, which included:
express consent, compliance with legal obligation, protection of
life or physical integrity, performance of a lawful agreement, or
in the legitimate interest of the entity responsible for the data
processing or a third party. The president vetoed a proposed
regulation that would have created a National Data Protection
Authority (Autoridade Nacional de Proteção de
Dados) to oversee data protection regulation. For information,
