In an open letter, ABES and other associations come together to raise awareness among authorities about the importance of legal security in relation to privacy and data processing in Brazil

ABES - Brazilian Association of Software Companies, together with 12 other associations in the technology sector, today signed an open letter to the authorities for immediate legal security in the processing of personal data. The entities request that the General Data Protection Law - LGPD (Law No. 13.853) have its entry into force extended, in view of the need for the creation of the National Personal Data Protection Authority (ANPD), its internal structure , the work around the regulatory pieces - which involve wide and unrestricted public consultation - and guidance and education for organizations and citizens around these rules. Only then will it be possible to reconcile the protection of privacy in Brazil and legal security.
