Does LGPD apply to a foreign company? Yes, if Article 3 connects the processing to Brazil through the operation itself, offering or supplying goods or services to individuals located in Brazil, or collection in Brazil.
Can a vendor call itself only a processor and be done? No. The ANPD role analysis depends on who actually decides purpose and essential means in the real workflow.
How fast must access be provided? Article 19 allows a simplified response immediately or a complete declaration in up to 15 days.
Can requests be charged? The law says the request route should be without cost to the data subject.
Can legitimate interest be used for sensitive data? No. The ANPD guide explains that legitimate interest is a basis for ordinary personal data under Article 7 and does not appear in Article 11 for sensitive data.
Do children data always require consent? Article 14 paragraph 1 creates a highlighted-consent rule for children, but ANPD Statement No. 1 explains that children and adolescents data may also rely on Articles 7 or 11 when best interest prevails in the specific case.
When must an incident be reported? Under the current ANPD incident rule, reportable incidents need communication to ANPD and data subjects within 3 business days, with a 20 business day complement window for preliminary communication.
