What is LGPD?

The Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD) is Brazil's comprehensive data protection law, in effect since September 2020. It regulates how organizations collect, store, process, and share personal data of individuals in Brazil.

Any mobile app that processes personal data of Brazilian residents must comply with LGPD, regardless of where your company is headquartered. Non-compliance can result in significant fines and reputational damage.
