In this episode of our international privacy podcast series, we welcome Vanessa Riberio, Partner at Gusmão & Labrunie, to discuss the practical implications of Brazilian data protection law for UK and EU businesses looking to expand into one of Latin America's most exciting digital markets.  

We cover the LGPD and its key similarities and differences compared to the GDPR, the EU-Brazil mutual adequacy decisions, the new Digital Statute of the Child and Adolescent (Digital ECA) and the red flags and practical watch-outs that could catch UK and EU businesses off guard. The discussion also explores the ANPD's enforcement posture and why businesses should not assume that existing GDPR compliance will automatically cover them in Brazil.
