Privacy and Data Protection

Processing personal data involves decisions about purpose, access, sharing and retention. Legal advice organizes those choices around individuals’ rights and each organization’s responsibilities, with attention to how the business actually operates.

The work covers information flows, legal bases for processing and governance measures. Policies, privacy notices and procedures for responding to individuals should reflect organizational practices. Impact assessments and risk analysis support the review of processing activities that require particular attention, helping translate identified concerns into decisions and documented responsibilities.

In relationships with suppliers, partners and group companies, the analysis addresses processing responsibilities and the conditions for sharing data and transferring it internationally. In acquisitions and investments, due diligence considers privacy risks and the safeguards needed when information is accessed during negotiations and business integration.

Following a security incident, legal work is coordinated with technical teams to assess obligations, preserve records and prepare relevant communications. The scope also includes responses to regulatory inquiries, proceedings before Brazil’s data protection authority, ANPD, and litigation concerning personal data processing. Advice considers the available evidence and the consequences of each proposed response.
